This is the most exciting adventure in Montenegro for 4 days! 

Day 1

Activities will start early in the morning around 6.30 am. Even if you are not staying in Budva, we will take you along the entire coast, thereby you will admire the coast. Don't forget to take warm clothes: the air temperature on the coast and in the mountains can differ significantly. Comfortable shoes, towels for drying off and swimsuits. The road to the north passes through the coastal mountains, Cetinje and Podgorica (passing). 

You and I will travel through almost the entire country, also passing through one of the most beautiful lakes in Montenegro - Piva Lake.

Surprisingly emerald-colored water, which reflects the majestic mountains and blue sky. Its length is 48 km between the mountains in a flooded gorge. The depth reaches 200 m and is the largest source and reservoir of drinking water in Europe. There are 2 types of fish: lake trout - up to 25 kg and chub - up to 3 kg. A stop is provided at the panoramic site and at the canyon of the Piva River.

When arriving at the rafting site, breakfast is provided in the canyon of the Tara River. In its middle reaches, the Tara River forms the deepest canyon in Europe (length 82 km, depth up to 1,300 m) - the second largest in the world after the canyon of the Colorado River. The canyon was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List back in 1977 as part of the Durmitor National Park. Rafting on the Tara is one of the most popular types of tourism in Montenegro.

After having breakfast and changing clothes, tourists ride in jeeps up the Tara River (20 km) to the starting point of your unforgettable boat trip along one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Along the rafting route there is a stop for swimming in a waterfall. You will be enchanted by the virgin nature and beauty of these places.

Rafting passes through 24 medium-heavy rapids. During 2.5 hours of rafting you will feel adrenaline rushes and impressions that you will remember for the rest of your life. The Tara River spends most of its journey in rapids and waterfalls. The nature of its flow is truly “mountainous” - with rifts and whirlpools, and only closer to the end of the rafting it becomes calm and leisurely. In summer, the river has a beautiful emerald color; its waters carry a refreshing coolness even in the most intense heat. The water temperature rarely exceeds 12 – 15 degrees. We do not advise you to wear wetsuits if it is hot that day, since you will be very hot in them and you can get steamy, and the splashes of water will only refresh you from the Montenegrin heat.

Upon completion of the rafting, we change clothes, take a shower and sit down at the tables right there in the restaurant, surrounded by pristine nature. With a beautiful view of the confluence of the Tara and Piva rivers into the Drina River, national Montenegrin cuisine awaits you with the main dish of Yagnetina izpod Sachem! – young lamb baked in its own juice with baked potatoes under the lid. Lunch is provided in a national restaurant, also with famous local food: dried meat prosciutto, cheese, chorby (local soups), kajmak, Shopska salad, young red wine and much more to your taste and choice!

Rafting on the Tara has a II category of difficulty, so it is completely safe and suitable for people without special training. Tourists from 7 to 60 years old are allowed.

After lunch we get together, drink a glass of homemade brandy for Easter and return to Lake Piva to the pre-booked houses. We are accommodated in houses (each for 2 and 4 people)

In the evening at 20.00 there will be dinner at the neighboring national restaurant Sochitsa with famous local national food.

Day 2

Departure by minibus/car from Pluzine to the Canyon of the Komarnica River, called Nevidio. That’s what it’s called, from the word Invisible. Its length is only 3.5 km, and its width, there is a separate place where it reaches only 40-50 cm.

Arriving at the starting point, breakfast is provided in the canyon of the Nevidio River.

After breakfast we change into wetsuits and special equipment for Canyoning.

For a long time the canyon was not explored and only in 1965 a group of skilled climbers made the first passage along the river bottom of the Nevidio Canyon.

Until 2006, the canyon was considered a difficult passage that could only be completed brave athletes and climbers. 

The beauty of this canyon is very difficult to describe in words. This natural phenomenon will captivate you from the first minutes of your stay. The length of the path in the canyon is only 2700 meters, but with obstacles you can overcome it in an average of 3.5 hours. Imagine yourself in the very center of a breathtaking canyon, to float down a river only a meter wide, while all you can see above is a thin line. Our experienced instructors will help you overcome all the obstacles that you will encounter along the way, so if you have time, are ready for adventure and want to see one of the most beautiful places in Montenegro, come. Nevidio is waiting for you!

Upon completion, we change clothes, take a shower and sit down at the tables right there in the restaurant, surrounded by pristine nature. National Montenegrin cuisine awaits you with the main dish Yagnetina izpod Sachem! – young lamb baked in its own juice with baked potatoes under the lid. Lunch is provided in a national restaurant, also with famous local food: dried meat prosciutto, cheese, chorby (local soups), kajmak, Shopska salad, young red wine and much more to your taste and choice!

Day 3

Day three will begin with breakfast at the Sochitsa restaurant overlooking the mountains. After breakfast, we will board a minibus and go to the local sanctuary.

First, we will visit the Piva Monastery. In 1959, when construction of the dam began, the bottom of the canyon in which the town of Pluzine was located began to be flooded with water. There were roads, bridges, hospitals and the Piva Monastery, and there was an order to leave the city so as not to remain under water. The Montenegrins could not leave and say goodbye to the monastery, so they dismantled it pebble by pebble and moved it higher into the mountains and built it the same way it was built back in the 17th century. Here we will light candles for your health and peace, and you can buy monastery wine and slivovitz.

After the monastery and the road, you can refresh yourself in the lake on the local beach!

Its beauty is emphasized by the emerald color of the water, which will captivate you so much that you will want to come back again and again. It is located in the north of Montenegro, not far from the lake - the canyon of the Komarnica River and the Piva Mountains. The length of the lake reaches 48 kilometers, the maximum depth is 200 meters. The lake is home to trout and maple (chub), the water is usually azure in color. In summer, the water warms up to 22-23 degrees.

After swimming, a boat will be waiting for us, which the captain himself made with his own hands, the cabin next to the boat is from a Range Rover)) You will never forget a walk along Lake Piva. On a boat we will “slide” along the glass-smooth water of this lake, and around you there is stunningly beautiful nature, green forests with rare trees, among which a special place is occupied by the Montenegrin pine, which is under state protection as an endangered species of plant.

From the boat you can swim under steep cliffs, sunbathe, take photographs and admire nature. Our good-natured captain will definitely treat you to homemade brandy and juices. Will also provide you with fishing rods. The boat can accommodate up to 6-7 people. If there are more, then there will be 2 trips, first the captain will bring some, then he will sail for others.

2 types of fish are caught: Chub up to 3 kg and lake trout up to 25 kg. You won’t be left without a catch!

The captain gives a 100% catch guarantee for chub. Trout fish differently depending on the month and weather. If it is very hot, it goes to the bottom 35-40 m deep and then it is more difficult to get it from the depths.

Lunch can be organized in a restaurant, or you can dine on freshly caught fish, cooked right by the lake on the grill.

Daily schedule:

08.30 - breakfast

09.30 - arrival at the Piva Monastery

Day 4

Breakfast at the Sochitsa restaurant at 07.00 and departure for fishing for 4-5 hours.

After fishing we return for lunch.

After eating a lot of delicious dishes, we leave by minibus/car from Pluzhine into the mountains and climb to the Durmitor plateau.

We will climb the Durmitor mountain range to a height of 2000 meters above sea level. Alpine meadows and a stone sea, as we call this area, will surround us around every turn. 

Many compare this territory even to the surface of the Moon.

Afterwards we will move towards the city of Zabljak. This area is one of the five national parks of Montenegro, called Durmitor, listed under the protection of UNESCO as a world natural and geographical site. The highest peaks of the country are also located here - Mount Bobotov Kuk (2522 meters above sea level). And at the foot is the famous Black Lake with its clear, clear water. You are allowed to swim if you wish. Don't forget to bring your swimwear. And those who don’t want to can go boating for an additional fee. There will be enough time to walk, take photos and enjoy the colorful scenery.

Very often people come here to walk with their children, do yoga and just breathe fresh air! 

Then our path will take to the Tara River Canyon, which is the second largest in the world. The depth is more than 1300 meters, and the length is 78 km. Rafting is also happening here - the most exciting extreme adventure in Montenegro!

Opening up is the view of the Djurdjevic Bridge - this is a great building of the mid-20th century. The length of one of the spans is 108 meters above the abyss, and the height is more than 150 m. Although the bridge is a car bridge, all tourists are still allowed to cross on foot from one bank to the other and even take photographs, since this is one of the main attractions and tourist routes for all tourists.

After enjoying the beauty of the stormy colors, we will pave the route to the south of Montenegro. We will move in the very gorge of the Tara River, where the rocks of the Canyon will constantly hang above you. Many stops are planned on the terraces along the road, from which the most picturesque views will open.

Next to the road, surrounded by mountain streams, is one of the oldest sanctuaries - the Moraca Monastery. The church itself is dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary and dates back to the 12th century. To this day, frescoes with the faces of the Virgin Mary and Christ have been preserved; as well as 11 scenes illustrating the life of the prophet Elijah. A separate place is allocated for the icons of St. Semeon and Sveti Sava - the work of Kozma the Great himself. Here you can light candles for Health and Repose, write notes, buy icons and brojanitsa - Serbian-Montenegrin amulets.

Literally at the entrance to the capital we will stop at the last canyon - the Moraca River. We all know how earth and sky should be in relation to each other, but here everything is completely different. The steep cliffs of the vertical walls will make you feel the irresistible power of nature. We will move along steep cliffs, and the shore opposite is also vertical and will be located only 30 - 50 meters from us. The sky somewhere above looks like a narrow strip, reflected in the emerald water of the seething stream.

Through the main city of the country - Podgorica, we will head back to the coast.

We return back to Budva around 20:00.

07.00 - breakfast
