Day 2

Tara rafting adventure

Approximate breakfast time is around 9 am. You will have the chance to try specialties from our region, home-made food from the nearby villages - homemade prosciutto, sausage, our famous buckwheat uštipci, homemade sour cherry jam, eggs, cheese pies, young Romanija kajmak…

After breakfast you will be given the equipment needed for rafting. You wear all equipment over your swimsuit or shorts.

The drive from our camp to the rafting starting point takes about an hour.

During the rafting you can expect more than 30 exciting rapids (the best known are Ćelije, Borovi, Varda…) that will take your breath away with their power and speed and give you a real feeling of adventure and adrenaline.

Somewhere around the middle of the descent we will take a break and see who has the courage to pass the "manliness test", that is, to bathe in an icy waterfall whose temperature is barely 5 °C.

You will also have the chance to swim in the Piva River - a river with incredibly clean water. After rafting on the Tara, we continue on the Drina to our center.

After some 2-5 hours, which is how long the descent itself lasts, we arrive at the foot of the rafting center. Returning the equipment and warm water follow, which you will find immensely pleasant after the cold water of the Tara River.

We serve lunch when you return from rafting. For lunch you will have the chance to try homemade veal čorba, a fresh village salad, and as the main course veal under the sač with potatoes. All dishes are prepared on the spot, in our kitchen, from mostly organic ingredients from the nearby villages. For dessert we serve homemade cakes - sour cherry cake, wafers, walnut pies, čupavci…

Do I need to know how to swim to go rafting?

It is recommended that you can swim, but you do not need to be an Olympic swimmer. You will be given a life jacket, and the skipper is there for emergencies.

Is rafting on the Tara safe?

We run rafting on the Tara with licensed skippers, and all participants are insured during rafting. Before departure you receive a wetsuit, boots, a life jacket and a helmet, and the skipper gives a short briefing on how to behave in the boat. The boats are professional and built for the rapids of the Tara.

What other activities are available besides rafting on the Tara?

Besides rafting we offer canyoning on the Hrčavka river, a zip line in the canyon, horse riding on the rim of the Tara canyon, a visit to Trnovačko Lake and a tour of Sutjeska National Park and the Perućica forest. The camp also has table football, darts, chess and other games.

When is the best time to go rafting?

You can come rafting at any time during the season (May - October). Weekdays are less crowded and weekends have larger groups. At the start of the season the water level is higher, so there is more adrenaline; at the end of July and in August the water level is lower and rafting is slower, which suits families.
