This private Tara rafting trip pairs air-conditioned transport from Kotor with rafting, canyon views, and a village meal of veal or lamb, potatoes, and dessert. Driver Marko has earned praise for his friendly, professional service, while the rafting crew handles the river equipment and boat.
“This is something what nobody should miss if visiting Montenegro. We were in group of six people what was excellent because we were all in one rafting boat, and in one van of course. The nature is amazing and its a very safe for summer part of year (spring is little more dangerous), but everything was organised well because of Marko, our guide! He is so kind and professional, what was very important because we have some bad experience in Montenegro with old and boring hosts. So i m recommending this to everyone, also there are a lot of interesting tours which one you can do with this agency, and…”
Meet at Camp Grab by 10am for a 7km Tara River rafting trip. Camp Grab provides neoprene gear, helmets, transport, safety training, snacks, swimming time, and a traditional lunch. Guides including Ognjen and Filip may lead the outing. Allow extra time for border formalities.
“It was great and relaxing time, best choice if you are looking for a place to rest from concrete jungle. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Grab's activities are unforgettable you have to try it, rafting can sound extreme, but it's professional and safe. The place is very big so you can feel the space and freedome there.”
Raft the Tara River from Đurđevića Tara with Montenegro Extreme on a private five-hour outing. Radovan leads the rafting, while the team provides boots, a helmet, life jacket, paddle, and neoprene suit. Expect a short walk to the boat, rapids, cold water, and lunch after the longer route.
“Back in January, I prebooked a tour for two. Paperwork seemed fine, but now I see that this company "declined" my purchase. No wonder, it was $109 in January and $400 now. So much for a bird in the hand. That's a nasty trick.”
Spend about 12 hours traveling from Kotor to the Tara River, then raft 21 rapids through Durmitor National Park and Europe’s deepest canyon. Your private group gets hotel pickup, an English-speaking driver, breakfast, lunch, equipment, insurance, and guided navigation. A minimum of four people is required.
“A great day trip from Kotor! I've done plenty of rafting before but the Tara River canyon is by far the most beautiful. The rapids are quite gentle and easily doable by anyone. I also enjoyed the trip to and from the rafting. It's a fairly long drive but very comfortable and my guide was wonderful company - attentive and informative with interesting conversations.”
