Tour Plan: A Step-by-Step Journey
Your Neretva River Itinerary
Our standard tours usually start in the morning to make the most of the day, but start times can be flexible. Please let us know if you have a specific schedule in mind. The following is a typical flow of the day's adventure.
Your adventure begins at our rafting base in the heart of Konjic. You will meet your guides, get to know your fellow rafters, and enjoy a welcome drink. We will give you a full overview of the day ahead.
Time to get ready. We will fit you with your professional rafting gear. Once everyone is set, we hop into our transport for a scenic drive up the Neretva canyon to our starting point.
At the river's edge, your head guide will give a comprehensive safety talk. You will learn paddling commands, how to sit in the boat, and what to do if you fall in. Then, we push off from the shore and your rafting journey begins!
This is what it's all about. For the next few hours, we will navigate 18 kilometers of the most beautiful part of the Neretva. We will conquer rapids, swim in calm pools, and take a break for photos and some cliff jumping.
We will arrive at our finish point, tired but thrilled. After a quick change out of our gear, our transport will be waiting to take you back to the rafting base.
Back at the base, a delicious, hot lunch or barbecue will be waiting for you (depending on your package). It is the perfect time to relax, share stories with new friends, and celebrate an amazing day on the river.
