Highlights

Description of Montenegro river rafting holiday

This five day Montenegro river rafting holiday is one for adventurers and fun lovers. It takes place on the River Tara in the northern rocky massifs of Durmitor National Park, where the fast flowing river has created one of Europe’s finest canyons. The river usually starts to become perfect for rafting around May, when the snows have melted but the rapids aren’t dangerous.

After a couple of days to explore the UNESCO and stunning medieval town of Kotor on the coast, at the top of the eponymous fjord, we head to the mountain town of Zabljak which is at the heart of the park, and perfect base for our rafting days. Soaring through the dramatic Tara canyon, which hits dramatic depths of 1300m at some places as well as taking on many of the fifty rapid runs here, this really is an exhilarating way to spend a couple of days. We raft past waterfalls, through masses of white water and deep waves , with waters that twist and turn through boulders and drops making them all the more run to navigate. With plenty of chilled out floating and swimming time too. Or taking time on land too, hiking through and exploring the valley’s natural wonders.

Guided by expert and highly trained rafting instructors, please also note that our rafts 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 river life.

This tour includes 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. We want our holidays to be high impact in experience but low impact on the environment!.. 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 Park 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 travelers 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 rafts 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 river 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 refill-able water bottles, since tab water is drinkable in Montenegro.
