Rafting on inflatable rafts along mountain rivers is a popular form of extreme recreation. Montenegro offers tourists many winding, unpredictable rafting routes. To experience this, you do not need any prior training.
Rafting on the river is supervised by instructors. All that a tourist needs is the ability to hold the oars. Additionally, it is essential to have appropriate clothing. The climate in Montenegro is far from tropical, so warm clothes for the night are necessary, along with bathing suits for rafting. Suitable travel clothes, such as Kryptek, are ideal for this purpose. Furthermore, tourists should arrange medical insurance, as navigating mountain rapids on a raft can be risky.
The most unpredictable river in Montenegro
Experts believe that the most thrilling and extreme rafting takes place on the Tara River. It begins in Montenegro, and after 104 km, it crosses the border; another 40 km runs through the lands of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The difficulty level of navigating the Tara Canyon ranges from third to fifth, depending on the season. It reaches its peak in April when the river's water level rises, and by the end of summer, it gradually decreases. Therefore, adrenaline-seeking adventurers favour rafting in Montenegro on the Tara River during the spring months. Beginners are better advised to schedule their trip closer to September, when the number of dangerous rapids is considerably lower.
A splendid holiday for nature enthusiasts
Tara is called the "Tear of Europe" because of its crystal-clear water. While travelling through the valley of this river, tourists will see endemic trees, including black pines, hornbeam, elm, linden, and yew, as well as impressive gullies, rocky cliffs, and abysses. The most impressive artificial structure in the Tara Canyon is the Djurdjevic Bridge, one of the largest in European territory. At the campsite, everyone can go with the instructor into the forest to learn about the flora and fauna of the river valley. On the border with Bosnia, travellers will see the most picturesque waterfall with icy water.
