  • 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

  • This 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 :)

Essential trip information

Our Important Notes and Packing List cover all essentials, from necessary equipment to inclusions, ensuring you're fully equipped and informed for this extraordinary adventure and more.

Frequently asked questions

  • Are all entrance fees included in the price?

    Yes, all entrance fees are included in the tour price.
  • Are any meals included?

    Yes, all meals are included, but drinks and desserts are not.
  • Are the local guides on the tour English speaking?

    Of course! All of our guides are fluent or near native in English and even in some other languages!
  • Are there many mosquitos?

    Like anywhere in the Mediterranean, mosquitos are around but there are never swarms of them. If you’re worried about bites, bring some repellent and some antihistamines too if you know you react badly to them (hard to buy locally). They are not generally a problem away from the coast.
  • Are vaccinations required for this tour?

    There are no specific vaccinations required for your visit to Montenegro but we recommend checking with your GP or local travel clinic to check for your own personal circumstances. Since most vaccines don’t produce immunity until at least two weeks after they’re given, visit a physician at least six weeks before departure.
  • Are you insured for the activities you offer?

    Of course, we have full liability insurance up to £ 5 million. It is also essential for all of our travellers to have personal travel insurance.
  • Can you cater for vegetarians or other specialist diets?

    Vegetarian diets are easy to cater for, although the menu in rural areas of Montenegro can be limited. It is more difficult to follow a vegan diet in the north of Montenegro, which is mountainous and has a long-established food culture focused on meat and dairy, as pastoralist communities. We advise our vegan guests to bring some snacks which are high in protein to supplement what is provided.
  • Do we need a car?

    All transport is taken care of by us!
  • How expensive is eating out or buying food for self-catering?

    Restaurants are great value – mains are generally € 5-10 and you should never pay more than € 2 for half a litre of beer. At the supermarket it’s even cheaper of course – a loaf of bread is 80 cents, milk is 60 cents.
  • How hot is it in summer?

    April/May temperatures in Montenegro's south range from 20-30C. June/July – 25-35C. August – 30-35C. September – 20-30C. October – 15-25C. For the North of Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo, knock off 10C!
  • How much travelling is involved on this trip?

    We firmly believe that holiday time in the car should be kept to a minimum. No single journey is ever longer than 4 hours, and most transfer times between centres are less than 2 hours.
  • Is a stay of less than one week possible?

    For our multi-activity holidays, in July and August, our minimum stay is one week. At other times, we can occasionally offer shorter stays (3 nights, 2 activities minimum) at our discretion.
  • Is there any free time to explore places during the tour?

    During this holiday, there are no full free days, but we give our guests some free time each day to enjoy on their own!
  • What is the standard of accommodation this tour?

    Basic, clean, locally run guesthouses
  • Will I know the names and details of all the accommodation before I depart?

    Of course, you'll get the trip notes prior to your trip with all the necessary information.
