Virpazar Amazon Cruise and Panoramic Tour of Karuc

This extended Lake Skadar boat tour begins in Virpazar and adds a visit to the historic fishing village of Karuč. We first cruise past the remains of Lesendro Fortress and several small islands before entering narrow channels surrounded by reeds and lush vegetation. This quieter part of the lake, often called the “Amazon,” is known for its calm waters, birdlife, and untouched scenery. Leaving the main routes behind, we continue toward Karuč, a small village set between hills and the lake. After arriving, we take a short 10-minute walk to a viewpoint above the village, where guests can enjoy the scenery, take photos, and learn more about the area. Karuč is known for its many natural springs—around 54 in total—some reaching depths of over 50 meters, while the average depth of Lake Skadar is about 5 meters. The village was also the winter residence of Petar I Petrović Njegoš. This tour combines the natural beauty of Lake Skadar with the history and quiet character of the region.
