Early breakfast in the hotel, the transfer from the hotel in Sarajevo is at 7 a.m. After a drive of around 4h, we will arrive at the Durmitor National Park. If you have ever imagined what the deepest canyon in Europe and the second deepest in the world look like from above and below, then you are in the right place. Our daily tour that combines the longest zipline in Europe and the best rafting in Europe, the one at the magical river Tara, completely aims to show you the best of the Durmitor National Park.
In one day, combine rafting on the river Tara and the zip line above the canyon of the river Tara and experience this pearl of the Durmitor National Park in the best possible way.
The River Tara, famously called – the tear of Europe, is one of the most beautiful and exciting rivers in Europe. Visiting Durmitor National Park without experiencing the white water river rafting via the most attractive part of the Tara canyon, is a miss. This part of rafting on the river Tara we do in the upper part of the canyon, and in this part, the degree of difficulty of rafting is adapted to everyone, especially families with children. During 2-3 hours of rafting, you enjoy the maximum of the beautiful panoramas and endless heights of the unsurpassed canyon of Tara River.
Tara Rafting
Tara river canyon is one of the most impressive wonders of the World. With a height of 1300m, the Tara canyon is considered the deepest in Europe and 2nd deepest in the World (after the Grand Canyon in the USA). It is no wonder that UNESCO inscribed Tara river into its program “The Man and Biosphere” due to its vast natural diversity and richness of life. Truly the best way to experience this natural phenomenon is along the Tara river white water rafting route. At the location of the Tara Bridge, we are having some welcome drinks and picking up our rafting gear.
Tara Bridge Zip Line
When originally constructed in 1940, during the era of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, with a length of 365m and a maximum height of 172m, looming over the 150m deep river Tara canyon, Durdevica Tara bridge was the highest in the World.
Once there, we have several options on how to explore one of mankind’s greatest achievements in the sphere of architecture. Aside from walking the bridge and admiring the beautiful surroundings of Tara canyon, the best way to experience this scenery is by one of Europe’s longest ziplines. If you decide to opt for this stunning experience, zip-lining down the 1200m of rope, will be an amazing upgrade to this amazing day.
Also at the location of the bridge, you have three zip line options, each different in length, speed, and attractiveness of the ride. Since this is an optional activity, you can choose which zip line you want, or if you don’t want to at all. If you are not a fan of the zip line, you can just walk the Durdevica Tara bridge and experience this location in an easy and relaxed way.
At the end of our rafting adventure, you will have a well-deserved lunch. Lunch will be a combination of local Durmitor specialties with available vegetarian options. One of the most popular food options in continental Montenegro is meat and vegetables baked under the “sač” (eng. bell kind of metal cover). After lunch, depart to Sarajevo. Late dinner in the hotel in Sarajevo.
