It is located on the peninsula that was an island until the construction of the Belgrade - Bar railway line. During the reign of Bishop Peter II Petrović-Njegoš, it served as a defense against Turkish attacks. Unfortunately the Montenegrins weren’t successful and the Turks conquered the area and the island became known as Njegos’ sorrow.

We booked our Skadar Lake experience with Boat Falcon, and from start to finish it was one of the most memorable days of our trip. Nik handled our planning and communication, and everything went smoothly. The lake itself is stunning. Even on a chilly, rainy day, that stillness and those mountains made it feel like we were discovering a secret corner of Montenegro. The limited English from our drivers added just a touch of Cold War mystery to the start of the adventure. We joked that we might be crossing into unknown territory where anything could happen. Luckily, our group travel survival instincts kicked in, and we launched into a cheerful Gilligan’s Island sing-along. The crew may not have known the tune, but they certainly appreciated the enthusiasm. Once on the water, the mood shifted completely. Passing through waterways lined with lily pads, spotting birds, and watching the dramatic scenery unfold felt peaceful and almost cinematic. It was nature in its purest form. After the lake, Alexander welcomed us to his family’s property, which once belonged to his grandfather. He is lovingly restoring it by hand and even dreams of creating a small museum there someday. We were treated like cherished guests rather than tourists. The wine tasting was intimate and heartfelt, and learning about his family’s history made the experience genuinely meaningful. It felt like being invited into a story still being written. If you are after perfection, sunshine, and a glossy brochure itinerary, maybe wait for summer. If you enjoy authentic adventure, real connection, and the kind of experience you’ll talk about for years, this is the tour to book. We would absolutely do it again…while packing a warmer jacket next time!
We had a truly unforgettable experience! The tour was organized by a very lovely sibling duo who made us feel welcome from the very beginning. They answered all our questions in advance and explained everything clearly and in perfect German, which we really appreciated. The tour itself was amazing – a unique experience that included a refreshing swim stop and lots of interesting information along the way. Our guide took plenty of time to help us take the perfect photos, which turned out beautifully. Everything was well thought out and smoothly run. We can only recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personal, well-organized, and memorable adventure!
We really enjoyed the trip. We were the only couple aboard so we had a private tour. The lake is very beautiful. Our guide was excellent, very friendly and informative and spoke good English. I highly recommend taking this tour. It is well worth the price they take
We had a wonderful time with Jovan (JJ) this afternoon, we couldn't have hoped for a better experience, he was so lovely and insightful, offering both historical information as well as general information about Montenegro. Couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us on our tour of the stunning Skadar lake. All of this on top of a very reasonable price which came with free drinks, and wine!, on board. 100% recommend and wouldn't advise anyone to use any other tour company :) Thank you so much again, Ross & Tatiana
Amazing experience, beautiful views, amazing guide, fabulous recomendation for local food. Best wishes from Lihuania
The trip to Lake Skadar was wonderful, thanks in large part to the guide, which is an encyclopedia of the lake's surroundings and the history of Montenegro! The price was very good for a 2 hour trip, which we don't even know when it passed. We highly recommend Boat Eagle!
We loved the 2 hour boat trip true the skadar lake. We recommend this tour operator nice and helpful people!
Dear Tim, many thanks for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you again. :) Kind regards, Eagle boat team
I’m so glad we did Eagle boat nature tour. They messaged us on WhatsApp before the tour started, so it was easy to find them at the meeting spot. Captain Nik is very familiar with the lake and had an interesting/fun fact about different parts of the lake, village and country. Everything went over our expectation, absolutely doing it again next time we come to Montenegro. Definitely a highlight of our trip.
Dear Fidelia, many thanks for your feedback. We also really enjoyed your company. We are glad that a bit of rain at the end did not ruin your trip on the lake. Have a nice holiday in Montenegro. Kind regards, Eegle boat team
Superb visit with Jovan, very good explanations, the guide Jovan is very kind and welcoming. Great for families with young children and teenagers, explanations of the history around the lake, different new facts. I strongly recommend the excursion with this boat. We learn a lot while discovering beautiful landscapes. 👍👍👍👍👍
Dear Lucas, we are very happy that you spent beautiful and interesting day on Skadar lake with us. Hope to see you again. Best regards, Eagle boat team
