Montenegro

Upon your arrival at Podgorica or Tivat International airport, you will be welcomed by a Rahhalah representative, and you will be transferred to your hotel.

Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure, until the evening, when the group re-assembles for dinner at the hotel. Depending on the arrival times, it may be possible to organize a visit to Podgorica’s Niagara Falls. Alternatively, you may visit a Lavender farm where you can taste homemade herb juices, fresh tea, herb oils, lavender cookies etc., or even pick herbs yourself.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in Podgorica.

After breakfast, you will check-out from the hotel and head to Zablijak (approx. a 2-hour drive) and Momcilov Grad (1,780m): the starting point of your hiking adventure. You will begin with panoramic views of Zabljak, as you head into the forest and towards Jablan Lake. From there, you will descend to Snake Lake for a lunch break and, in the afternoon, you will continue to Barno Lake, ending the hike at Black Lake (1,416 m). During the first part of the hike, the ascending trail allows wonderful views of Zabljak, before it descends once again into the forest. From Black Lake, you can either take the car back to the lodge or hike an extra 3 km, enjoying the trail and the serene landscapes. After dinner, you will relax around a campfire under the beautiful night sky.

Hiking time: around 5 hours.
Level of difficulty: Moderate.

Enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure, relaxing in a private lodge with amazing views of Durmitor’s peak.

Accommodation: Eco-lodge in Zabljak.

After breakfast, you will be transferred (a 30-min drive) to the starting point of an exhilarating rafting adventure that will take place in the heart of the Durmitor National Park, passing by the deepest part of the canyon (at 1380 m). You will raft for 12 km straight, from the second camp to Lever Tara (Žugića Luke) with a short visit to River Angry: a tributary of Tara River, registered in the Guinness Book as the strongest European wellspring of 1000 liters per second and the shortest European river with a length of only 170 meters. You will also go on a tour around the monastery of Archangel Michael dating to the 13th century, and you will relax, swimming in the green whirlpools known as “Paradise Gardens”.

Duration of the activity: approx. 3.5-4 hours.
Level of difficulty: Easy.

Accommodation: Eco-lodge in Zabljak.

After breakfast, you will bid Zabljak goodbye and head to Canyon Nevidio for a canyoneering tour.

Canyon Nevidio, often referred to as “Never Seen by God”, is 2 km long, formed by Komarnica River. The contrast between its beauty and roughness will amaze you, forcing you to explore the boundaries of your limits. This adventure invites you to jump from high cliffs, swim in freezing water, and hike from the bottom of the canyon to the top – perhaps the most challenging part of all.

In the end, you will enjoy a well-deserved lunch in an eco-friendly restaurant/resort with amazing views of Poscenje: arguably the most beautiful village in Montenegro.

Later, you will head to Budva (approx. a 2-hour drive), where you can spend the rest of the day at leisure, relaxing, or exploring the town.

There, you will visit with a boat Our Lady of the Rocks: an artificial islet off the shores of the city (duration of the ride approx. 2 hours), and, then, you will enjoy a few hours in the old town, exploring, shopping, relaxing, and taking in the ambience of past eras.

In the afternoon, you will head back to Budva for your last night in Montenegro and a farewell dinner by the sea.
