The 15 Best Rafting & Via Ferrata Trips in Bosnia

Jablanica: Neretva Kayaking Tour near Mostar - What You Actually Do All Day, and How the Route Works

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 88 reviews · 1 day · from $25Our pick

Self-guided kayak time on Bosnia’s Neretva canyon near Mostar, with comfy gear, jaw-dropping mountain views, and a beach swim stop.

“You’ll be wowed by incredible views of the surrounding landscape. We had such a lovely and peaceful time kayaking on the River Neretva with the occasional beep and wave from cars on the adjacent road. The kayaking trip is self-guided but the staff are very informative (and friendly) before you set off. It is a 3-hour round trip to get to the final destination so I’d recommend bringing a packed lunch to take to the beach. It’s definitely worth a visit if you are staying in Mostar for two or more days and you are up for a fun activity. Very easy to get to by public transport.”

“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.”
