Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.
Our family tour includes National park Lovcen , National park Durmitor 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

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
This was a wonderful way to see both the coastline and mountain areas of Montenegro. We had a great time, it was an active yet totally relaxing holiday. Our 9 year old loved the kayaking and snorkelling in Kotor and hiking around the lakes in Durmitor national park, our 11 year old particularly enjoyed the rafting in the Tara canyon and the boat trip and swimming in the spectacular bay of Kotor, particularly spotting a dolphin and a turtle. We loved the liveliness of evenings in Kotor and the beautiful views from the summit of Savin Kuk.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We were a small group of 2 families – 6 altogether and our guides were lovely, wonderful fun, friendly, caring and kind and able to be flexible. It was a great way to learn about Montenegro and its history and sample local dishes. The restaurant used for evening meals in Kotor was fantastic. Perhaps bring something from the local bakeries for lunch / snack during the activities. There is loads to do and still free time after activities and we particularly enjoyed walking around Kotor bay.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The trip was well organised by a local family adventure travel company and communication was very good. Our guides were local, we stayed in a comfortable apartment in the old town of Kotor and a nice small hotel in Zabljak.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fabulous, we are grateful to our guides for making it such a special and memorable holiday, loved by all of us.

We definitely felt that our holiday benefited local people largely because our guides were local people who are naturally keen to preserve and protect their beautiful country whilst showing all that it has to offer to visitors.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We had an absolutely wonderful time. Old Kotor was a fantastic place to be based and the staff ensured that we didn't need to worry about anything. They organised everything including all of our accommodation (which was of very high quality) our food (which was completely delicious) and all of the activities. They were so lovely and made us feel totally relaxed, catering brilliantly for our 2 children aged 7 and 9 too. We can't recommend this holiday highly enough!
