Description of Montenegro walking holiday
Exploring on foot is the perfect way to discover the diverse landscapes of Montenegro, and this walking holiday leads you along mountain trails, through remote valleys and down to lakeside towns.
Roughly the same size as Northern Ireland, Montenegro makes up for its diminutive footprint with epic scenery. Home to the deepest canyon in Europe – the 1,300m Tara Canyon – wild and rugged mountains and a picturesque coastline, Montenegro also boasts an impressive history. It was the only country in this region to fend off the advances of the Ottoman Empire, and retains a strong sense of culture and national identity.
Montenegro is emerging as an exciting destination for active holidays, but is still something of a European best kept secret. Walking here is a great way to get into its undeveloped interior, and you’ll often have the trail to yourself without seeing another soul. Hike up to abandoned fortresses, discover medieval towns and stay overnight in quiet villages and mountain cabins, gaining an insight into traditional life here, little changed in decades. In between walking, take a boat ride along a rural canal, visit a honey farmer and dine on fresh fish and local wine in Montenegro’s former capital Cetinje.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Walking to, and staying overnight at the remote farm in BIOGRADSKA GORA N.P with all the wonderful hospitality offered and homemade cheese
Our fantastic boat trip on Lake Skadar
Our walk down the ladder of Cattaro looking down over the Bay of Kotor
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be fit enough to enjoy it. Having said that, the opportunity to not partake on a walk is easily accommodated. Have an open mind about any necessary last minute changes to the itinerary
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It definitely benefitted local people. We operated a pool system for tips and our guide suggested what we should give along the way and we agreed the amount from the pool.
This is a small group holiday predominantly in the mountains with well chosen accommodation all the way through that definitely benefitted local businesses.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Truly memorable. All of the itinerary was covered and more! Exceptional value for money

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There are two primary views of Montenegro, seaside and mountaintop. Those mountaintop views are stunning and even sweeter after accomplishing the hike up the mountainside to see them. We would not have experienced Montenegro in such a hands-on fashion without the tour operator. The staff was very friendly and professional. Marko, our guide, helped us navigate the trails successfully and arranged for a variety of wonderful, local experiences. Vlatkos, our driver, expertly navigated the tight winding roads that we would never have attempted on our own. Finally, going in a small group was very enjoyable from the encouragement on the trails to the comradery at the supper table. Take this trip. You won’t regret it.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Consider both distance and elevation changes when training for your trip. We found hiking boots and hiking poles to be helpful.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. Often, we were in private, family-run accommodations in remote areas. When you get to have conversations with the locals you understand better the impact that the tour is having. In particular, the eco-lodges were very eco-friendly.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We got good value for our investment. Others in our group indicated the operator provided a high standard and we found that to be true.
