Boat Trip St. Naum

4.3/5
60 reviews

Experience one of our most beloved excursions, starting directly from the port of Ohrid. Glide across the calm waters of Lake Ohrid as the boat takes you toward the enchanting lake village of Saint Naum. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views dotted with hidden gems such as the famous Bay of Bones, charming fishing villages, and remarkable historical landmarks.

Upon arrival, step back in time with a visit to the impressive 9th-century Monastery of St. Naum. Discover fascinating stories about the origins of the Cyrillic script and the legends surrounding St. Naum and his followers.

Before exploring the idyllic lakeside village at your leisure, delight in a peaceful rowing boat ride across the crystal-clear springs of the Black Drim. Renowned for their untouched natural beauty, these waters are considered among the most beautiful in the entire Balkan region.

Afterward, enjoy free time to wander the island, soak in the serene atmosphere, and capture unforgettable moments before returning comfortably to the harbor of Ohrid.

    We enjoyed everything about this trip. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable. The bay of bones wasn't included but they still did a close up / slow down with some basics explained. There was a lovely row boat excursion included too. Delightful!

    There was confusion with the pick-up despite my time and location confirmed night before. Bus didn't pick me up as planned, but a lovely TUI lady rescued me in her car and caught the boat in time - just! The boat trip to St. Naum was great (avoid toilet!) the visit around the church was busy, but interesting. Loved the mini boat trip and spoke to some great people at the restaurant for lunch. Free time was right amount of time.

    The trip was excellent. Beautiful scenery, interesting historical narrative from the guide and some free time to explore. The pick up was very good, with your representative arriving early. However we could have made our own way to the harbour and avoided this altogether.

    You can get this trip a lot cheaper if you book your own at the harbour
