Itinerary:

Day 1 – Arrival
Transfer from Podgorica Airport or other – drive to Žabljak. The overnight stay is in private rooms or bungalow. The camp has a beautiful bar and a restaurant on the river bank. A traditional cooked dinner served at the restaurant is included in the first night’s stay.

Day 2 – Tara Canyon 1
We make our early morning way to the starting point of the Tara Canyon part of the adventure, near Žabljak. The journey is through the mountains, along breathtaking landscapes. The first day’s packrafting is a 23 km journey through the canyon that will leave you speechless. The canyon features untouched wilderness and on most trips we sight big game wildlife, including chamois, deer, or if extremely lucky, wolves or bears. The first night in the canyon is spent in Tepca Village, in local guest accommodation or wild camping on the beach next to the river. The village has incredible views of the canyon and the surroundings. Staying here offers an authentic experience, where you’ll witness a traditional Montenegrin rural lifestyle, along with its people and food.

Day 3 – Tara Canyon 2
The second packrafting day through the canyon is a 22 km stretch. It is just as beautiful as the first day, if not more so. This packrafting day takes us through the deepest part of the canyon along stunning scenery. We make regular stops during the journey, on both days, for you to stretch your legs, have a snack and enjoy some waterfalls. The second night in the canyon is spent in the magical Camp Top, on the river bank, on the Bosnian side. The camp has a great atmosphere and here you will be able to get a few evening drinks in, along with plenty of food.

Day 4 – Tara Canyon 3
The third day in the canyon is adrenaline-charged! On this day we will packraft two sections. The first, from Camp Encian to Camp Top, is the fastest section of the river and is 6 km long. The rapids here include a number of class III rapids. Following a short and necessary re-composure stop at Manita vrela beach, we will continue packrafting another 8 km, down to the Bosnian border crossing. Here we will get picked up and driven to Plužine for a well deserved drink and rest!

Day 5 – Stanbanska Lakes hike
To switch it up a bit from packrafting, we offer you a hike to two beautiful mountain lakes. The round trip is approximately 12 km, with a 450 m elevation gain. Following the hike, we return to Plužine for a debrief and some well-deserved chill time.

Day 6 – SUP and boat trip on Piva Lake
Our final paddling day will take us onto the remarkably clear water of the man-made Piva Lake, with hidden caves, gorgeous swimming spots and fresh nature all around us. If you like, we can even bring our packrafts along – after all, they don’t take up much luggage space! In the afternoon we will transfer back down to the town of Nikšić for our final night and evening meal together.

Day 7 – Departure
Transfer back to Podgorica, or to an alternative destination (for which there would be an extra charge payable direct to the provider).

We use Kokopelli pack rafts for this trip. They are super tough, super light (only 2kgs!) and super stable – but you have to prepare to get wet! We provide full wetsuits, buoyancy aids and a five-star safety briefing.

Prices are in £ Sterling per person and include all packrafting trips with professional instruction and guiding, breakfasts and dinners, as well as all equipment and transport.
