Day 1:

We will be flying into Dubrovnik before transferring to our first location in Montenegro, the coastal town of Herceg Novi. We will then enjoy some lunch, get to know each other as a group, and go for a swim before getting some rest.

Day 2:

Today is when the adventure begins! We will be transferring to the magnificent Tara River Canyon. This canyon stretches over 82 kilometres and is the second-deepest canyon in Europe. Most of it is located in Montenegro but it stretches across the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Tara River has crystal blue waters straight out of a fairytale, and because of its unique ecosystem, it is protected under international convention. 

You will be able to take in the breathtaking views as we descend the canyon, making our way to Radovan Luka. This is a gorgeous hotel/camp where we will be able to sleep beside the river in our own huts after enjoying a hearty meal.  

Day 3: 

We will be continuing our journey down the Tara Canyon today to complete the rest of our descent, arriving in Bosnia. From here, we will travel to the town of Foča for the night before continuing our journey to our next destination. 

Day 4: 

After breakfast, we will drive through the capital city of Bosnia, Sarajevo. This city is often described as an intriguing place ‘where east meets west’. It has an extremely rich history, as settlement in this area dates back to prehistoric times, that can be seen through various landmarks, museums, and more. We will stop here to take in the prominent culture and beauty of this city via a tour (or personal exploration if you wish). After taking in all that Sarajevo has to offer we will move on; stopping in the small city of Jajce for the night. 

Day 5: 

Today we will journey to Una National Park, which is Bosnia’s largest national park and home to the Una River. Firstly, we will take in the star attraction, Štrbački Buk, a 25 m-high collection of majestic waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery. We will then get to paddling across the Una River in its lovely blue-green water until we reach the city of Bihać where we will stop for the night. Here we will stay in a riverside lodge and take in the local food.

Day 6: 

Saying goodbye to Bosnia, we will travel through Croatia to reach Bovec, a mountain town surrounded by the Julian Alps in Slovenia. We will have the choice to either swim in the hidden gem that is the River Soča or take the short trip to Triglav National Park, the only national park and largest protected area in Slovenia, to do some hiking.

Day 7: 

After the unforgettable experience of waking up in the picturesque town of Bovec, we will get kitted up to do some rafting in the River Soča. This unique emerald-green river is one of Slovenia’s most important natural treasures, and one of the most stunning rivers in all of Europe. A dip in this river is extremely refreshing on a hot summer’s day, with its enjoyable waterfalls, and the surrounding area is full of unspoiled nature. After we are all done rafting, it’s time to have a swim and do some rock jumping! In the evening, we shall have our final meal of the trip, indulging in traditional Slovenian cuisine, and go over our favourite parts of the adventure.

You will need to bring: 

• Swim kits
• Warm clothing suitable for rafting, as the water can get very cold even in summer
• Good shoes for hiking
