Podgorica Tour to Ostrog, Niagara Waterfalls & Skadar Lake｜Montenegro

Small Group or Private – Limited Daily Departures
Relaxing tour with several bookable options.

You will begin your tour by visiting the most famous waterfalls near the capital, Niagara Waterfalls. On the way to the falls, you will be able to see the Cijevna River Canyon, which was formerly the border between Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire until 1912. The waterfall was named after the Niagara waterfalls in Canada. Being much smaller, the waterfall is a great attraction for "Podgorica", and a place to rest on hot summer days. 

After visiting the waterfall, the road will lead you up to the Ostrog Monastery, Upper part, the main attraction. The beauty of this monastery, built by St. Vasilije, was described by Napoleon’s colonel and French commander Viala de Somier, who visited the monastery in 1810. He wrote a book about Montenegro before publishing it in Paris 10 years later.

In the Upper Monastery, all believers are provided with a bottle of holy water and oil. The monastery complex consists of a church, a large conch, and a series of ground-level buildings that once served as classrooms. The whole complex is surrounded by a high stone fence. At the conclusion of your tour, you will be returned to your point of origin.

The second option includes the Upper section of Ostrog Monastery, the main attraction, a one-hour boat tour in Skadar Lake National Park from Virpazar, and Niagara Falls when active. Please note: In July, the falls may be dry, so this free optional stop might not be available.

The third option is a visit to Ostrog Monastery, including both the Upper and Lower sections.
This tour option includes a visit to the Upper Monastery, the main attraction of the complex, dramatically carved into the vertical cliff face and offering breathtaking views of the Bjelopavlići plain below. It is a revered pilgrimage site, housing the relics of Saint Basil of Ostrog.
The tour also covers the Lower Monastery, which features a 19th-century church surrounded by peaceful monastic buildings and gardens.

Note: Avoid booking on Sundays due to crowds, especially in peak season.
