Journey from an Emerald River to a Cold War Secret
Experience two of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most iconic attractions in one unforgettable day. Your morning will be spent conquering the thrilling rapids of the emerald Neretva River, a world of pristine nature, splashy waves, and pure adrenaline. Paddle hard with your team, swim in crystal-clear water, and soak in the beauty of the spectacular canyon.
Then, journey from the wild outdoors deep underground into a secret world frozen in time. We will take you inside the ARK D-0, Tito’s top-secret nuclear bunker, a sprawling subterranean complex built to protect Yugoslavia’s elite. Walk through its preserved rooms, see the untouched 1970s technology, and feel the chilling atmosphere of the Cold War. This unique tour combines the best of Bosnia’s natural beauty with its most fascinating and mysterious piece of history.

Tour Plan: A Step-by-Step Journey
Your Day of Adventure & History
This is a full and fascinating day. The order of activities may vary, but the experience is always incredible.
Your day starts at the adventure base in Konjic. You will gear up in professional rafting equipment and receive a full safety briefing before we transport you to the river. For the next few hours, you will paddle, swim, and laugh your way down the beautiful Neretva canyon.
After your rafting adventure, we will transport you to the site of the ARK D-0 bunker. The entrance is unassuming, giving no hint of the massive secret hidden within the mountain.
Follow your guide deep underground into the labyrinthine corridors of Tito's bunker. You will explore the command rooms, private quarters, and communication centers, all perfectly preserved for decades. Learn about its strategic purpose and the incredible story of its construction.
After emerging from the past, our transport will take you back to the base in Konjic, filled with stories from two completely different worlds.
