The 7 Kayak & Jeep Safaris in Bosnia That Earn Their Price

1.Neretva kayak safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 80 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $26Our pick

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!”

2.Safari kayak adventure w BBQ & Beer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $52

From central Mostar, Alem drives you to Cold River Camp for a calm kayak trip on the Bunica. Paddle clear water to its spring, cross a rocky stretch, then return for a locally sourced BBQ, vegetables, dessert, coffee, juice, and Bosnian beer. The small group keeps the outing relaxed and personal.

“An amazing trip. The setting is so beautiful and we felt like we had the river all to ourselves. Alem cooked up an amazing Bosnian lunch using local ingredients and fresh mint from the river. It was so delicious. He shared so much local knowledge about the area and they were both lovely people to chat to. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Mostar or the surrounding area…especially on a hot day it’s the perfect way to cool down. If I ever come back I would also love to stay in the treehouses on their site.”
