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 day 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.
