Experience a journey through time with a Kayaking tour to the 13th-century Vranjina Monastery on the Moraca River!
Escape to a world where time slows down and nature takes the lead. Starting from the peaceful fishing village of Vranjina, this 4-hour guided excursion invites you to follow the soft twists of the Moraca River.
The adventure begins where the Moraca River divides, flowing around Vranjina island. As you paddle, you’ll likely see swans drifting by, and if you’re lucky, even the famous Dalmatian pelicans. A highlight of the route is the "Grazing Bend," a wild stretch of river where cows often wade right near the shore. It is the perfect spot for a refreshing swim: even in the heat of midsummer, the Moraca remains clean and incredibly fresh.
The destination of your paddle is the historic 13th-century Vranjina Monastery. After a short walk from the riverbank, you’ll reach this sacred site still run by monks. It is a rare opportunity to experience their simple, steady life (please ensure your shoulders are covered to visit the chapel). Before heading back, you’ll reach the point where the river meets the vast Skadar Lake, offering a breathtaking view of flat water, wide sky, and distant mountain peaks.
This medium-difficulty tour is led by expert guides who know every secret of the region and will share the history of the land with you.
Don't miss this soulful escape into history: grab your paddle and discover the quiet wonders of the Moraca River and its ancient monastery on kayak!
