Customer reviews & ratings
This was by far the best holiday we have been on! My active 14 and 16 year olds enjoyed every single day. We did Kayaking, Canyoning, hiking, water rafting and mountain biking in the most beautiful surroundings. From turquoise green rivers and warm tranquil lakes to stunning mountain views, we were never disappointed. The accommodations just kept getting better as the week went on too, every time we arrived at the next place there was always a wow factor! Camp grab was definitely our favourite though right on the river with its chocolate box wooden cabins. The food on the trip was great too, the amazing intimate farmhouse lunch and dinners in Virpazar were very authentic, generous and tasty. The food in Camp Grab was an excellent standard for a camp site. I would definitely recommend this holiday for any family who has an adventurous spirit
Jaclyn C Aug, 2022 VerifiedThis holiday was perfect for us as an active, outdoorsy family. The activities were pitched perfectly to include our youngest (11 years) but were enough of a thrill for all of us at the same time (our 16 year old loved it). We really enjoyed staying at the three locations with each having its own character and aspects we liked. The rafting was a highlight but in all honesty all of the activities from the kayaking to the lake swimming were just divine. This was a fantastic trip. Vera, our guide, was superb! She struck the perfect balance of keeping us on schedule, being sociable and giving us space. Not easy actually but she made it look easy. The Montenegrin people made us all so welcome where ever we went. We dined at some excellent restaurants, hand picked by the tour company and sampled locally sourced / grown produce from fish to vegetables and home made red wine! My family cannot recommend this holiday enough! Go and enjoy :)
