REVIEW · BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
6 Day Tour – Trekking, Rafting, Jeep safari and Canyoning
Book on Viator →Operated by Rafting Club TARASPORT · Bookable on Viator
Tara rapids and canyon ropes, six days. This Bosnian adventure by TARASPORT strings together rafting, canyoning, trekking, and a Jeep safari around one home base, Outdoor Resort TaraSport, so you’re never bouncing logistics all day. I especially like how all activities start and end at the camp, which keeps the pace sane after big outdoor days.
I also like that the trip takes care of the essentials: all necessary equipment is included and meals are built into the schedule (with vegetarian options available). One thing to factor in up front is extra costs for some park/tour fees plus drinks and coffee, so the headline price is only the start of the budget.

The Big Picture: Why This 6-Day Mix Works

This isn’t a “one activity per day” kind of tour. It’s a pack of high-output nature time: you’ll be on water (rafting), on rock and rope (canyoning), on trails that cross into Montenegro (trekking), and then back into wild forest territory (Perućica). The value is in the variety—each day feels different, yet the structure stays organized because your starting point is the camp.
TARASPORT keeps the flow practical too. Transport to the activity start points is handled by off-road car when needed, and guides run the day with you. You’re also covered by insurance during your stay and the tours, which matters when you’re doing activities that involve rapids and rope work.
Outdoor Resort TaraSport: your camp base and evening start

Day 1 is built for settling in rather than rushing you out immediately. You’ll be welcomed at Outdoor Resort TaraSport (in Hum 73300), learn where you’ll stay, and get dinner served around 6 PM. The meeting time listed is 7:00 pm, so plan on arriving in the evening and getting oriented right away.
What you’ll appreciate here: the camp is the hub. Since every activity starts and ends at TaraSport, you’re not searching for shuttles after a long day. There’s also free Wi‑Fi and free parking at the camp, which is handy if you’re traveling with your own car or just need to upload photos before bed.
Small reality check: you’re in a remote outdoor base. That’s part of the charm, but it means your comfort mainly comes from the camp setup and meals—not from finding cafes whenever you want.
Day 2 rafting on the Tara and Drina: Brštanovica to Šćepan Polje

This is your first “wow” day: a 22 km rafting run on the Tara River down to where the Tara and Piva rivers merge to create the Drina at Šćepan polje. The route is described as having 23 rapids, so you’re not doing a calm float.
From TaraSport, jeeps take you to Brštanovica, the start point. The rafting time is typically 3–5 hours depending on river flow and how long breaks last. One neat geographic detail: the Tara River is a natural border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, and you’ll be rafting on the Bosnian side of the canyon.
Why this is good value: you’re getting a full river day with transportation, guiding, and included rafting equipment—then you finish back at camp near the Drina River. That “out and back” structure saves energy and planning.
What to consider: rafting experience can be affected by water conditions. Even with good organization, timing and intensity can shift when the river is running higher or lower.
Day 3 canyoning at Hrčavka: rope crossings and narrow straits
Canyon Hrčavka is the day’s headline. This canyoning session is built around narrow passages and obstacles where you cross parts using a rope system. The tour runs about 3–4 hours not counting the drive.
What I like about this day is that it teaches you a different kind of nature skill compared with rafting. On the water you’re reading the river and working as a team in the raft. In the canyon, you’re moving carefully through tight sections and handling controlled rope crossings.
The main consideration: canyoning needs calm focus and comfort with heights and rope movement. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you do need moderate physical fitness and the willingness to follow guide instructions closely.
Day 4 trekking from Prijevor to Trnovačko Lake: a heart-shaped stop

Day 4 turns you into a hiker. You’ll trek from Prijevor (in Bosnia and Herzegovina) to Lake Trnovačko in Montenegro, crossing via a trail that goes over the natural border. The description says the lake is shaped like a heart—small detail, but it’s the kind of payoff you remember when you reach the water after steady walking.
The trek time is about 4–5 hours not including the drive. This is a great middle day because you get real trail time without the sustained adrenaline intensity of the canyon or rafting.
What to keep in mind: border-crossing trails can feel long if you go too fast early. I’d keep your effort steady and save energy for the final push to the lake.
Day 5 the Perućica rainforest: hike, then mountain pasture by Jeep

Today you explore Perućica, described as the last rainforest in Europe. You’ll do a short hike first, then continue by jeeps toward Prijevor, a mountain pasture area above.
The day runs about 4–5 hours, again depending on the number and length of breaks. This is the day where the terrain shifts into thick forest and a slower rhythm, which balances the intensity of rope work and rapid water.
Why this matters for you: after several active days, you’ll probably love the chance to slow down. Forest time is easier on the body than continuous adrenaline, yet it still feels like an adventure because the travel is off-road and you’re moving between different mountain zones.
Day 6 back at TaraSport: wrap-up and optional add-ons

Your final day returns you to Outdoor Resort TaraSport, ending back at the meeting point. The schedule notes about 4 hours for Day 6, with the door left open for an extra activity you can add on site if you want to keep going.
It’s also a natural day to review your experience before you depart. Even if you’re not big on writing reviews, think of it as a chance to tell the team what worked for you and what to improve.
Equipment, insurance, and guides: what’s actually handled for you

The tour includes all necessary equipment for the activities listed, plus services of professional guides. You’re also covered by insurance during your stay and during the tours, which is a big deal for water and rope activities.
Transport is not left to chance either. Off-road car rides are included where the itinerary calls for moving you to activity start points. That matters because in this kind of area, the difference between a clean transfer and a messy one can decide how tired you feel by mid-trip.
What I’d watch for: even when gear is included, you still need the right attitude. If you’re the type who gets nervous with rope work or gets tense in fast-moving water, speak up early. A good guide can adjust how they brief you, and you’ll feel safer sooner.
Food on a packed schedule: meals included with dietary options

Meals are included throughout the tour: breakfast (5), lunch (4), and dinner (5). You’ll eat at the camp as part of the flow, so you’re not hunting food after activities.
You can also choose a vegetarian, vegan, halal, or pescatarian option if you notify the operator at booking. There’s no promise of every variation under every circumstance, but the fact that you can request diet needs ahead of time is what you want on an outdoor trip.
A practical tip: treat lunch as fuel, not just a stop. On active days, skipping snacks or eating lightly can make the next day feel harder than it needs to.
Price and value: what $687.84 gets you (and what costs extra)
At $687.84 per person, this price covers a serious chunk of the trip: 5 nights accommodation, guided rafting/canyoning/trekking/rainforest activity days, off-road transport for the itinerary’s transfers, insurance, and included meals plus included activity equipment.
Where your budget needs attention is what’s not included:
- drinks and coffee
- an entrance fee for the Regional Park Piva for the rafting tour (listed as 5 € per person/child)
- additional taxes/fees for National Park Sutjeska x3 and Canyon Nevidio (listed as 20 €)
So the real value depends on how you handle those extras. If you’re the type who hates piecing together tours and pay-by-pay entrances, this packaged approach still usually feels smoother. You’re basically buying organization, transport, and multi-day guidance in one purchase.
Who this tour suits best
This trip is for people with moderate physical fitness. You should be comfortable with long outdoor days and the idea that some activities involve controlled risk (rapids and rope crossings).
It’s also not suitable for children under 12, and children must be accompanied by an adult. The minimum booking requirement is 4 people, and the maximum group size is capped at 100, so you won’t be alone, but it also shouldn’t feel like a giant bus tour.
If you want:
- a mix of water and land adventures
- a camp-based trip where you’re not constantly relocating
- a guided outdoor program with meals handled
…then this one fits nicely.
What to pack for rafting, canyoning, and trail days
Even with equipment included, you’ll feel smarter if you pack for wet and moving days. I’d plan for:
- quick-dry layers for early mornings and changing mountain conditions
- footwear that can handle wet ground and trail surfaces
- a small dry bag for phone and essentials
- a light towel and backup socks
- any personal items you rely on at night (the camp handles comfort, but you still want your own basics)
If you tend to get cold easily, bring an extra layer. If you blister easily, bring blister care too. These are the small things that protect your mood when you’re active for multiple days.
Final take: Should you book this TaraSport 6-day adventure?
I’d book this tour if you’re craving a high variety nature trip without spending your vacation managing logistics. The camp base, the included equipment, and the fact that meals are part of the plan make it feel like a real program, not a collection of disconnected activities.
I’d think twice if you dislike paying extra entrance fees on top of the main price, or if rope and fast water sound like a stress test rather than a challenge. In that case, ask yourself honestly what kind of outdoor day makes you happy.
If you want one clear recommendation: pick this tour when you want action plus organization, and you’re ready to enjoy the Tara and canyon days as real adventure—not just sightseeing.
