Day 1 – Arrival
Arrival at Virpazar from your arrival airport and a short transfer to your accommodation. In the evening we will have a tasty dinner where everyone can get to know each other a bit better.

Day 2 – Island monasteries tour
This 4-5 hour kayak trip will take you across stunning mirrored waters from Murići on the southern shores, (also home to the lake’s best freshwater beach), with views up to the fabled peaks of Albania’s Accursed Mountains. You’ll have the lake all to yourself as you swim in crystal clear waters and visit the lake’s renowned 14th-century island monasteries, all the while taking in the awesome views, varied bird life and glorious solitude. Paddling distance: 9km. Packed lunch included.

Day 3 – Virpazar – Raduš
This trip is a lovely paddle from the lilypads and rushes of Virpazar to the old island prison of Grmožur, known as Montenegro’s Alcatraz. We then continue down the coast to the beautiful hamlet of Raduš, the deepest point of the lake, where locals Danilo and Lidija will prepare a delicious fish lunch for you! It’s also a great spot for a swim, with loads of opportunities for those who like jumping or diving into water from a stone jetty (1-8m heights!). We then round off the day with a visit to the secluded Pješačac beach, from where you will return to Virpazar via Landrover! Paddling distance: 12km

Day 4 – free day
Chill out, explore the local area – or we can help you organise another land-based activity!

Day 5 – kayaking the Morača Delta
This is a circular paddle through the renowned bird reserves of Manastirska Tapija and the Morača Delta. We circumnavigate the island of Vranjina via its picturesque river channels before visiting the Saint Nicholas monastery and returning to Vranjina via the delta, stopping off for a picnic lunch at a charming spot with a diving platform and rope swing. May/September paddlers remember to bring binoculars for the outstanding bird life!  Paddling distance: 11km

Day 6 – The majestic serpentines of Pavlova Strana
An incredible guided paddle from the picturesque villages of Karuč to Rijeka Crnojevića via the birding hotspot of the river Karatuna (May/September paddlers remember to bring binoculars for the outstanding bird life!) and the stunning serpentine channels of Pavlova Strana, one of Montenegro’s most famous vistas (it’s that mountain with the river running around it). It’s a long paddle, but it’s the absolute highlight of our week, with ever-changing vistas and all the time in the world to lazily finish in a charming local village for some well-deserved drinks and return to Virpazar by Landrover. Paddling distance: 18km. Picnic lunch included.

Day 7 – free day
On the first free day, we can help you organise any number of non-paddling activities – or you could just chill, relax, and enjoy some fine dining and wine!

Day 8 – Departure

Price includes all accommodation, 4 guided kayaking excursions (including lunches) and one welcome dinner. Flights, airport transfers and other meals excluded.
