Set out from Glogošnica near Jablanica with host Haris and paddle your own kayak through the calm Neretva canyon. The route takes about 90 minutes each way to a quiet beach, though you control the pace and can stop at a riverside café. Kayaks, life jackets, and waterproof bags are included.

“Das Team von Netetva Kajak Safari ist sehr zuvorkommend. Ich hatte falsch gebucht und es erst an dem Tag der Buchung festgestellt. Mit einer SMS konnte ich das Dilemma klären und unsere Tour auf den nächsten Tag umbuchen. Wir mussten nichts dazu zahlen oder eine neue Tour buchen. Es gab überhaupt keine Komplilationen. Stattdessen wurden wir am nächsten Tag mit einem freundlichen Herzlich Willkommen begrüsst. Die Tour an sich war anstrengend, aber Atemberaubend. Mein Mann und ich können sie wärmstens weiter empfehlen!”
