Have you ever wondered where Europe’s deepest river canyon is situated? You may be surprised to discover that it is hidden away in the Black Mountains of Montenegro deep inside the Balkans.The pristine and untouched Tara river cuts through an immense karst rock canyon to form a truly stunning spectacle of nature. Although an UNESCO world heritage site, the Tara is little known to the world’s paddling community, despite offering a spectacular wilderness adventure right here in Europe. This adventure involves an incredible self supported multi day trip in pristine wilderness, without the cost or time needed to travel further afield.After warming up for a few days on some balkan classics, the trip down the Tara takes us 3 spectacular days, staying at river side camps along the way. The Morača and Lim offer the perfect opportunities to get used to paddling your loaded kayak. You will also get the chance to take in the beautiful coastal city of Dubrovnik, before travelling off the beaten track through the heartland of the Balkans. |

Group Composition |
|||
| The trip will be led by an experienced Gene17kayaking appointed trip leader. In selecting suitable leaders, we not only look to ensure that they have the relevant qualifications but we also ensure that they have an excellent track record of white water paddling from around the world. Whilst qualifications and experience are essential requirements, we also make sure that our leaders have the right temperament to lead a trip group comprised of individuals who have a range of previous experience and expectations. The leader is a vital contributor to the enjoyment and well-being of the trip members and he or she will be there to deal with any unexpected problems. To that end, we aim to provide a leader who will make the trip both successful and enjoyable throughout.
Our leaders hold current wilderness first aid certificates and have experience of dealing with remote river related medical conditions. We will take a maximum of 6 paddlers on each trip, although the number may well be less than this. With every 3 paddlers we have on the trip, we’ll have a highly experienced Gene17kayaking Teacher/Guide. |

Experience Required |
|||
| Montenegro Multi Day takes place on Class III/IV- whitewater. The Montenegro Multi Day is suitable for experienced paddlers who are able to paddle for 3 – 4 hours in a day on Class III Generally the rivers are accessible with far road access, but occasionally there may be some exposed terrain. This trip begins on an easier section of whitewater, but will soon reflect conditions expected at the grade. Participants should therefore expect to be in a river environment during peak runoff for sometimes extended periods of time. You are welcome to Contact Us, if you would like to discuss the trip in more detail. |
