Wild Mountains & Adriatic Sea

Overview

Experience Montenegro’s Wild Beauty in its purest form.  Known for its incredible natural diversity, Montenegro is a land of towering peaks, dense forests, and a beautifully indented coastline. What makes it truly unique is that in just one day you can breathe in the crisp mountain air and feel the gentle sea breeze — and this 7-day journey offers exactly that: a perfect blend of mountains and sea.

Designed for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, this program takes you deep into Montenegro’s untamed landscapes and along its breath-taking shoreline. From rafting through the emerald waters of the Tara River – known as the “Tears of Europe” – and conquering Durmitor’s majestic peaks via secured climbing routes, to hiking through lush forest trails that lead to the enchanting Gate of Wishes, every moment is an adventure. The journey concludes with kayaking and a scenic boat ride along the Adriatic, where the sea breeze and coastal charm perfectly balance the thrill of the mountains.

This is not just a trip — it’s an immersion into Montenegro’s wild soul.

Itinerary

Day 1
- Meet Montenegro’s Mountains

Upon arrival, our organized transfer takes you straight from the airport towards the north — into the heart of Montenegro’s wild mountains. The drive itself is an experience, unfolding through stunning scenery of lush valleys, winding mountain roads, charming small towns, and remarkable cultural landmarks along the way.

Our first major stop is one of Montenegro’s most iconic spiritual sites – the Ostrog Monastery, dramatically carved into the sheer cliff face, high above the valley below. Founded by St. Basil of Ostrog, who lived and prayed within these very rocks, the monastery is a place of deep faith and countless miracles. Today, it stands as a beacon of spirituality and peace, attracting pilgrims and visitors from all over the world.

Day 3
- Via Ferrata / Show cooking
  • Try Via Ferrata, climbing the rocks following the steel cable and secured by belts and iron hooks. It’s simply great how this activity doesn’t require any special fitness condition or previous experience, just you wish for adrenalin and desire for fabulous views from the top of the mountain.
  • Show cooking on local eco farm on Durmitor mountain, viewing the way of preparing and spreading the dough for the widely famous Balkan national specialty “pita”. The fillings can be various and the taste is always great. You can try yourself in stretching the barks. The show cooking is followed by degustation of pita and homemade sour milk.

Day 5
- Mrtvica canyon
  • Trekking through the Mrtvica canyon makes an unforgettable experience, due to variety of fascinating nature all around. Mrtvica canyon is one of the most beautiful canyons in Montenegro. The trekking trail leads along the river, through amazing and gorgeous natural surroundings, with fabulous views on the turquois water, relaxingly fresh rapids flowing over the river stones, green forest and high steep cliffs. Somewhere in the middle is unique Gate of Wishes, naturally created by two rocks meeting each other and firming a bridge. The most fascinating part is also the beam tunnel carved into the cliff by Yugoslav Army back in 1970-ies, which enabled the locals the essential connection to the Medjurječje.
