While we are passing through the narrow streets and strangling not to scratch a car, suddenly you will get to the point why everything was worth it. Stunning view point over the village and sparkling lake in a combination of karst region gives unique picture. No wonder why cult films, sach as "Unseen miracle" , were made right here . Our bishop prince also choose this place for vacation house during the winter time. We will meet our host who is a painter .

A wonderful day
We did a group tour and especially enjoyed the boat ride and lunch in a small village by the lake. The fish was excellent and fresh. After this, we were welcomed by the family in the winery, where we really enjoyed the products.

THE BEST PRIVATE TOUR EVER!!!
Where do I start?! Tanja and Igor were both fantastic! Tanja contacted me prior to the tour via whatsapp to confirm food and timings. As I follow a vegan diet she arranged the most incredible lunch for me and my friend. The tour was so personal, Tanja was giving us her authentic experiences of Montenegro - which is so important when visiting another country and soaking up another culture. And as a bonus, she's hilarous too! So much to learn from her. And Igor equally - we went to Igors house on Skadar lake and had some fresh springwater - it was incredible to see the house he's building from scratch, and where he lives is just a little piece of heaven! The tour started with visiting the fortress, then the gorgeous boat tour (where we saw so many birds, busha cows etc) then a stop off at igors house, before the viewpoints of skadar lake, when off to wine tasting which was fantastic - we bought some to take home too! This is also where we had the vegan lunch. Setting was gorgeous, weather was incredible - very wholesome feel to this tour. And final stop was cijevna waterfall - the colour of the water was insane! (I have a highlight story on instagram of this tour if you'd find it useful @lifeofpa._ ) Tanja will take you to the non-touristic rural parts of montenegro - if you're looking for a tour to book, please don't just do straight to kotor as podgoricia is a hidden gem in itself - and Tanja is certainly the best person to show you around! We couldn't have had a better time with her, our trip even ended in hugs! Thank you Tanja and Igor! Xx
Response from the operator: What a review :-)) Really think you girls so much , it was an amazing day and that you because you appreciate this kind of experience. See you next time we have a lot of secret gems to show you only we locals know :-***

Hidden paradise
My friends from Budapest visited Montenegro and I wanted to show them some of the beautiful places which this country offers. We decided to choose Amazon tour with Tanja...we had such a luck :) name of the tour said it all! We have visited some hidden places of the Skadar lake which looked like Amazon entirelly. It was a true hedonist weekend tour, we arranged swimming on the lake, on the so-called “Eye of the lake” where you can feel cold springs down deep in the lake, and afterwards we had a lunch with fresh fish from the lake and excellent wine with local host. We trully enjoyed and experinced completelly all the beauty of Skadar lake. Thank you Tanja for brining us so much joy on our vacation :)
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for this beautiful day :) It has been unforgettable . We are here for making unique experience

A perfect day!
I was visiting Montenegro with a friend in August. We did traveling around the country ourselves, but also wanted to join a guided and I am so happy we found Tanja & Montenegro Wonders. Tour was called Piece of history, and our whole day with guide Tanja was filled with stories about the past and today, we visited very interesting sights (Cetince, Lovcen, Skadar Lake & Karuc) and enjoyed the most beautiful and breathtaking views during our car ride and boat tour on Skadar Lake. We also had delicious lunch in Karuc (fresh fish, incl. in price). Tanja is such a charming and heartfelt personality, she does her work with great passion - warmly recommend taking a tour with her. I hope I´ll be able to join another Montenegro Wonders -tour one day.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Podgorica.
How much does Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls cost?
+
Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Podgorica usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Podgorica is not rushed.
Is Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Podgorica, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Podgorica can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Podgorica and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skadar lake boat ride through "Montenegrin Amazon", wine tasting & Niagara falls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Podgorica within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Podgorica?
+
On Outty we rank every Podgorica experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best from our coast (Kotor bay, Budva, Sv Stefan, Skadar lake), Skadar Lake National Park Guided Boat Tour with Wooden Boat, GREAT MONTENEGRO TOUR Cetinje – Njeguši – Kotor – Budva. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Podgorica?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Podgorica?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
