Itinerary

5 Day Sutjeska National Park & Rafting Adventure

Day 1: Arrival in Sarajevo

Arrive in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Your tour guide will meet you in the afternoon hours for a Sarajevo walking tour (exact time to be agreed). Sarajevo is a city that is commonly associated with the siege in the 1990's, but has plenty more to offer. Join us in a journey through the past where your guide will reveal the big and small secrets of this city and introduce you to the mysticism of Sarajevo streets and alleys. The tour will take you to the main sights of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture and will show you a unique line where East meets West. Enjoy the scent of freshly made coffee, the sound of church bells and call from the minarets. Learn about the assassination that triggered the First World War and discover why Sarajevo is called European Jerusalem.

Day 2: Sarajevo - Sutjeska National Park

In the morning we transfer to our hotel in Sutjeska National Park before continuing to the tranquil lake of Donje Bare. After lunch we walk through a beech forest and open mountainous terrain to the summit of Ugljesin Peak (1,858m), one of the best panoramic views of the Zelengora peaks and the rock-face wall of Volujak. We continue the stunning circuit back to Gornje Bare Lake via the Tovarnica Ridge (1.5 hours) with Bosnia's highest peaks as a constant companion on the horizon. We will be transferred back to the hotel in Tjentiste Valley before an early dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch

Day 3: Sutjeska National Park - Lake Trnovacko - Tara River

During this tour, we will veer off towards Dragoš Saddle and take a peek at the Skakavac Waterfall deep in Perucica’s Valley where the forest is thick and teeming with endemic flora. From here we’ll walk on to Prijevor for more incredible views of this majestic park with the mountains of Maglic, Zelengora, and Volujak towering around us. Many have compared the experience to Yellowstone National Park.

At the edge of the forest, we descend towards the Glacier Lake Trnovacko, which is set at 1,500 meters in the middle of a huge amphitheater of rocky peaks. Then (weather permitting) we enjoy an icy cold swim (only for the very fit) and tasty lunch where you can relax and enjoy some of Bosnia’s best peaks towering around you. After lunch we head back to civilization, enjoying the soft glow of the setting sun above Zelengora and Maglic, Bosnia’s highest peaks. Tonight we stay at simple wooden bungalows next to the Tara River with a campfire, music and a tasty homemade dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4: Tara River - Sarajevo

The Tara is one of the four beautiful whitewater rivers in Bosnia Herzegovina that offer professionally guided rafting tours. The Tara River ranks among Europe’s best for classes II-IV. This river rafting tour will pleasantly surprise you with its stunning wilderness and unforgettable landscapes. A jewel amongst the world’s natural heritage spots, the Tara River boasts the deepest canyon in Europe. The river follows the natural border between Bosnia and Montenegro most of the time. Near the end of the rafting, we enter Bosnia Herzegovina. The 1,300-meter canyon has created some of the best rafting and kayaking in Europe. We'll enjoy a late lunch on the Tara River before transferring back to Sarajevo, for a final evening of the tour.

* NOTE: Please bring your passport since we’re crossing into Montenegro.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch

At Tara Rafting Camp we will stay at simple wooden bungalows next to the river where you will enjoy the sound of water and the campfire - and definitely have one of the best nights on your Balkan adventure!
