What to expect

Hiking – Rafting – Kayaking – Cruising – Food & Wine Experience 16 days adventure

If you had to choose only one country to represent the Balkans, Bosnia & Herzegovina would surely be the best choice! Its glorious, mainly undiscovered nature is characterized by rugged Dinaric Mountains, its small access to the Adriatic coastline, idyllic and fertile valleys, and pristine rivers and lakes. Its rich cultural heritage stems from a blend of ethnic and religious abundance dating back to ancient times.

The visit to the Biokovo Skywalk, a 25-meter-long glass promenade offering a spectacular view of the Makarska Riviera, marks the transition from the continental to coastal parts of the Balkans. Days spent on the islands of the Croatian archipelago are rejuvenating and provide the perfect introduction to the abundance of glorious Dubrovnik! Experience the cosmopolitan spirit on its streets, indulge in local food and wine, take a kayak trip, start rowing, and absorb the sight of the great city walls rising from the azure blue of the Adriatic. This remarkable journey will be filled with true wilderness, lovely people, and life-changing adventures in Montenegro!
