“I brought my 4 year old daughter in a double kayak. I’d been kayaking many times before, so it was easy enough. Our guide was kind to her and considerate of the route and activities based on our group. What I love about having a guide on something like this is they show you areas you might otherwise feel comfortable exploring, like a small tunnel cave. Very beautiful scenery, nice swimming, and I recommend!”

Photos don't do the vivid colors justice. Tilen, our guide, provided good equipment and gentle guidance. This was a highlight of our stay in Montenegro!”

Review of a private four-hour kayak tour on Skadar Lake, with fortress visits, swimming, drinks, gear, transport, and practical booking advice.

“Highly recommended! Amazingly beautiful views, great conversations and refreshingly active. It was so easy to communicate with Milija and his instructions were very clear. I really enjoyed hearing from him a lot about what life is like in Montenegro but also getting some historical context and information on the region. We kayaked on quite a wavy day (the previous day was very rainy) so it was physically quite hard, however on calm days I would believe it can be done by people in moderate shape as well. I highly recommend this activity!!!”
