Montenegro: Multi Day Fun Adventure

How about a kayaking road trip through the Balkans?

It sounds like an unusual idea, but Montenegro's fast establishing itself as a world class destination for cruisy multi-day paddling. The area’s rugged wilderness takes people by surprise, but the true star’s the plentiful class II-III paddling

The main event's a three day descent of the Tara river gorge. A UNESCO site, the pristine and remote gorge is Europe's deepest - over a kilometre deep in places. On the water, we'll be staying at riverside rustic lodges in the gorge, carrying just our personal gear, lightweight, but with refinement. After that, we travel east to the Morača River for some classy grade III action.

As Montenegro’s still quite a new destination, we’ll look after all the logistics from transport to food to accommodation to boats to river guiding. So it’s a simple case of turning up at the airport and enjoying a week of some great whitewater
