Trip to Pelican Island
The day trip to Pelican Island is great for young and old. If you enjoy nature and want to see a unique landscape and lots of animals, the Pelican Island excursion is the excursion for you.
Galicica National Park
We go through Galicica National Park to Lake Prespa. We make a stop at 1700 m on Mt.Galicica to take some beautiful pictures of lake Ohrid. If we are lucky, we might even spot a wild animal in Galicica. But even without animals, the rich flora of the mountain will keep our eyes busy.
Lake Prespa
Along Lake Prespa, we stop in Stenje to have a cup of coffee. We then continue our trip towards a small fishing village, from which we will depart by boat to Pelican Island. On our way to the island, we will see many birds around us, including numerous pelicans—one of approximately 2,000 present on Lake Prespa. You will also see different kinds of herons, cormorants, seagulls, swallows, and you might even spot an eagle.
Pelican Island
On the island, we will start with lunch. After lunch, we’ll take a stroll and enjoy the island’s animals, nature, and historic sites. The island holds remains of structures from various periods and civilizations, including Roman houses and early Christian churches. It’s fascinating to see how every civilization that once set foot in Macedonia left its mark on this mystical island. The guide will help you spot as many animals as possible — even the elusive viper.
After returning from the island, we’ll stop once more in Stenje, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim in Lake Prespa.
All isolated islands boast unique flora and fauna, and Pelican Island (Golem Grad) is no exception. Book your trip today and enjoy a day in nature. Vik Experience— a better way of travelling.
