Horseback riding and three day rafting on the Tara river

After breakfast around 8 am, you will be fitted and receive rafting equipment (neoprene suit, neoprene boots, safety helmet, safety vest and paddle). You will also need to bring enough personal gear along for three nights which will be spent at three separate locations along your path through the deepest canyon in Europe - with a length of 80 Kilometers.

The first section of this trip will take you on a safari tour through the “Durmitor Ring”, which begins right at the border crossing between Bosnia and Montenegro. After the crossing you will head to “Crkvičko polje” and on to “Trsa” and along the Durmitor Ring which will expose the natural beauty and wildlife of the area. The entire setting is difficult to describe using words, the flowers and their smell, the valleys, forests and geographical formations are something which must be experienced in person.

Throughout the whole area of “Trsa”, towards the domestic farm near Žabljak, you will enjoy a winding panoramic path that is full of green expanses, numerous glacial lakes and phenomenal viewpoints. At one of the mentioned lakes you will break for a picnic lunch. Durmitor is host to as many as 48 peaks with over 2000 meters above sea level height, some of the most interesting of these you will pass on your trip including: “Prutaš”, ”Sedlo“, “Bobotov Kuk“ and “Savin Kuk“.

In the period between arrival and dinner, around 18:00, there is time for a walk to the nearby “Vrazijeg” and “Riblja” lakes and Durmitor's most famous necropolis, the Greek Cemetery. The Durmitor National Park has many myths and stories associated with it, which our guides will convey during your tour.

You will require about 4 hours to complete this section, when you consider there will be swimming breaks and rests.

In this first section you will pass by ”Žugića luke”, ”Mušovića vrela”, ”Lazin kamen”, places where the river is the narrowest, deepest and makes for the most interesting rafting in the Balkans. You will also encounter the rapid river “Ljutica” which rushes and foams dramatically for 150 meters.

Particularly around the village of Tepce, by which you will pass, the Tara river canyon is at its deepest and the only accessible by rafts such as the one where you will be on board.

The duration for this section of the river varies based on a number of factors, predominantly the water level which is lower in mid and late summer, which can make the journey last three or more hours.

You’ll have the opportunity to see and stop at other rivers flowing into the Tara including “Šipčanica” which, along with its beauty, is the coldest of these rivers.
