Montenegro activity holiday, small group








Description of Montenegro activity holiday, small group
This week in Montenegro is all about getting active outdoors within some of the country’s most exciting and naturally dramatic national parks and untouched stretches of coastline.
Join experienced local guides and activity instructors as you make new friends as part of a small group and embark on a raft of adventures that will take you from the crystal clear Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic to the peaks and alpine lakes of Durmitor National Park.
This is your chance to go white water rafting in the deepest river canyon in Europe, the Tara River Canyon, snorkelling and kayaking to secret coves, and exploring woodland paths on foot.
Montenegro has some seriously majestic mountain peaks, such as Jezerski Vrh (1657m) on Mt Lovcen, and it’s not until you hike to the top and look out over the rugged granite slopes and forested valleys that you begin to realise just what an incredible country this is.
From snaking sandy beaches and fast flowing rivers to hearty breakfasts and mountain tea, this activity holiday in Montenegro unveils the country’s cultural heritage and amazing outdoor opportunities, so all you have to do is dive right in.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Everything combined to be a positively memorable experience for us - the beauty and views of the Montenego countryside and Kotor; the fun activities of kayaking, rafting and hiking and the great care and customer service we had from our guides all week.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We chose to stay in Kotor to be in the centre of things - it is noisy at night until 1am so this might be an issue for some people. Main tip is - go for it, don't hesitate!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Our company was family run and we did activities with local people - our activities were in harmony with the natural environment and we ate locally sourced food.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Absolutely wonderful - I cannot recommend the holiday provider enough - their efficiency and customer service focus were exemplary. They speak excellent English and were very flexible to meet our needs on many occasions - even to the point of preparing vegan food at their restaurant for one of our family.
Responsible Travel
Planet
This tour includes National parks of Montenegro and UNESCO protected Town of Kotor and Kotor Bay area. Each of them features unique environments and rich ecological values, which require corresponding attitude from visitors. Working together with our local guides and companies we will continue to support local community in effort to keep their natural beauty free of all pollution and generate enough income from sustainable tourism. By including the opportunity to visit the National Parks on this holiday we choose to contribute to the excellent record of conservation in recent years through the entrance fees.As a company we employ responsible policies such as recycling paper, ink cartridges, glass and cardboard; we minimize the use of electricity and conducting the vast majority of our correspondence and promotion via the internet and email, minimizing the amount of paper used for our activities.
All of our guides are aware of their surrounding and they are constantly providing the travellers with suggestions of how to minimize potential negative impacts to the environment and marine ecosystems. Our guides emphasize on the importance of leaving the environment as it is. We observe marine life but we do not disturb it.
Our sea kayaks are made of recyclable plastic. They do not cause any form of air or water pollution and they do not produce noise that could be disturbing for marine life.
On our trips we , walk ,hike and paddle off the beaten paths . Traveling on foot and paddling produces no carbon footprint and also slows your pace down so you take in more of the nature that surrounds you.
We encourage our guests to use re-fill able water bottles, since tab water is drinkable in Montenegro.
