With the warm Mediterranean sun washing over you and seagulls soaring high above, you’re gently gliding through azure waters of the Adriatic, and thinking to yourself—life is beautiful. Indeed it is, especially when you’re touring the natural gems of Dubrovnik and Montenegro in those warm summer days. Indulge in this guided, 8-day odyssey by kayaking crystal-clear waters, hiking through dense pine forests and glacial lakes of Durmitor National Park, ziplining down Montenegro’s longest zipline, and rafting down rapids of Tara river. But this area offers far more than its visual grandeur: visit a myriad of Renaissance villas, paddle to secluded reefs, and relish the mouth-drooling, traditional dishes. Escape to the Mediterranean coast, where time slows down and worries melt away.

Itinerary

Escape to the Mediterranean for a total mind and body reset—on this 8-day guided tour, you will go hiking, kayaking, rafting, and ziplining! Dubrovnik (and its surrounding islands) and Montenegro are the setting of this tour, providing a perfect blend of basking in the sun on sandy beaches and retreating into glacially-carved mountains. Apart from experiencing natural marvels every day, this tour includes great accommodations, most meals, transfers during the tour, and excellent guidance! Unveil the magic of Dubrovnik and Montenegro, where each paddle or a step reveals a world of unforgettable memories.

You will be welcomed at Dubrovnik Airport and transferred to Dubrovnik Harbour, where you’ll catch the ferry to Lopud Island. Enjoy the one-hour ferry ride on the sparkling Adriatic Sea.

Once you reach the island, settle into your comfortable guesthouse. Spend the rest of the day as you wish (swimming in the refreshing sea is always a good idea) and in the evening, meet up with the rest of your team and your guides at one of the local restaurants. Go through a briefing and your guide will answer whichever questions you may have.

Accommodation: Guesthouse in Lopud
After a hearty breakfast, go to the beach, where you’ll start your kayaking adventure. An experienced guide will go through all kayaking and safety instructions, after which they will provide you with kayaks and gear.

The first stop is Šunj Beach, a sandy beach on Lopud island. Kick off the tour with some light paddling to get used to it. There will also be enough free time to sit on the beach, relax, and swim.

Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Paddling: 3 miles / 5 km, 2 hours
Snorkeling: 2 hours
Today you’ll kayak all the way to the mainland and stop in Trsteno. Explore this charming village, the untouched arboretum, and the filming location of Game of Thrones! Have lunch, swim a bit, and bask in the sun. Return with your kayaks to Lopud island.

Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Paddling: 6 miles / 10 km, 4 hours
Grab your kayaks and prepare yourself for the tour’s next big highlight: the grand Green Cave on Šipan Island! You will paddle to the biggest island of the Elaphite Islands and stop for lunch in the fisherman’s village Suđurac, where you can buy premier olive oil and quality wines.

Later in the afternoon, paddle back to Lopud island. Get some rest, get refreshed, and meet your team for dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Paddling: 5 miles / 8 km, 4 hours
Next stop—Montenegro! Catch an early ferry to Dubrovnik, and take a 3.5-hour ride in a mini van to Montenegro. The drive alone will be very picturesque itself, but feel free to doze off as you have a rafting adventure ahead!

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by your local host and a freshly prepared local dish. Later on, go on a rafting adventure with stops for swimming under the waterfall. After spending the afternoon on the pristine Tara River, enjoy your well-deserved dinner.

*River class depends on water level and time of the tour. Most common river class in spring is WW CLASS 3-4 and in summer and fall it’s WW CLASS 3.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
This day is reserved for explorations of Durmitor National Park, a pristine area formed by glaciers. The best way to explore it is by hiking and sightseeing by car. In the morning, you’ll go on the biggest zipline in Montenegro which goes above Piva lake!

Later on you will drive through another part of the park and take in incredible views of rivers, dense pine woods, and clear lakes. Over the course of the next few days, you’ll be tasting delicious, traditional cuisine, one of the things that Montenegro is famous for.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Hiking: 2 hours
Enjoy your last full day in Montenegro by visiting the Black Lakes and doing a hiking tour around this natural gem.

Later on in the day, jump into your minivan and return back to Croatia. Your accommodation for tonight will be in the Dubrovnik area, close to the airport. Those searching for their last dip can swim in the Adriatic Sea before celebrating the trip over last group dinner.

Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Your kayaking adventure in Croatia and Montenegro has come to an end. Your guides can drop you off at Dubrovnik Airport. Catch your flight or feel free to stay longer and keep on exploring Croatia (your guides can also transfer you to your next local accommodation).

Meals: Breakfast

Paulo Caldeira

We just had the most amazing adventure holidays in Croatia and Montenegro. A lot of nature, sun and water sports. Our guides Amir and Mladen were great and their passion about adventure and what they do was contagious which helped to feel like they were part of the adventure as well, always looking insights from us and suggesting things to do around the area. They are professional guides which take their jobs seriously, in a safely manner, but also enjoy their time at the tours because that’s what they love doing. In the end, I’m glad that we found Discrover tours through TourRadar when I was looking for an adventure holidays. We were looking for some active holidays including some activities like Kayaking, Hiking, Cycling or Rafting and that’s when we found the Croatia and Montenegro tour. We were lucky to have them to help organising and leading our tour. I’d highly recommend them for adventure holidays.
