Description
Your tour starts with preparation for kayaking. Upon arrival your host will give you all necessary information and tips where to go, what to avoid and what not to miss, as well as full equipment. You start paddling from charming village Virpazar, through a small channel surrounded by reeds and water lilies that leads you to the open lake. When you reach open lake, you should go under the main bridge on left side. After passing the bridge, on your right side you will see a peninsula and fortress - Lesendro. From the sky it has shape of the key and that's why Lesendro is known as 'key of Skadar Lake'. If you enjoy bird watching, you should paddle around the fortress which will lead you inside the beginning of river Morača which is considered as an bird reserve. If you are lucky, you will be catch a glimpse of a pelian - the lake's symbol. Take a break for fresh fish soup at the local restaurants which are located on the 2 local beaches or just before the main bridge. You proceed your experience to three islands (Small and Big Cakovica and Kamenik) that are in the middle of the lake just after bird reserve. You will aim for the first one and make a circle around it, from right to left side of it. It is the most beautiful and peaceful place where you will be surrounded by water lilies and reeds. After all these islands we suggest go back to Virpazar. If you would like to cool down, jump into the water for a refreshing swim, before heading back to your starting point. If you are tired on the way back, you can always wave to the boats that are passing you and they will take you back to Virpazar.Includes
