Croatia & Montenegro: Hike, Bike & Raft

Raft on the clear blue waters of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tara River Canyon, weaving along the last 18 km between towering mountain peaks.

Cycle the ring road in Durmitor National Park, surrounded by limestone peaks and glacial lake views. Then, stop for lunch on the mountain with locals, filling up on regional specialties made with local ingredients.

Spend a day kayaking, snorkelling and swimming in the Adriatic, on the peaceful Elaphiti Islands – just a short ferry ride from Dubrovnik.

Hike Mount Lovcen to Kotor Fortress, dating back to the 9th century, for sweeping panoramic views of Kotor's Old Town and the bay.

Start and finish the trip in Dubrovnik, where you can walk the ancient city walls and wander the Old Town, searching for that perfect restaurant serving up fresh seafood, sweet treats and glasses of local wine.
