tara river canyon

loving2travel1

Tara River Canyon is the 2nd deepest canyon in the world and the biggest in Europe. The water is a mesmerising aqua blue with white peaks where the rocks are exposed. There were massive ice formations on the sides of the canyon and the snow covered villages on both sides of the canyon were very picturesque. If you're in the Durmitor National Park, this small detour is a must-see in Montenegro.

The Tata River Canyon is one of the places you must have been once in your life. We did the raftingtrip as well and it was fabulous. We booked the trip in Kolasin (transport included € 60,- per person), it's worth. Oneandahalf hour to the gorges by minibus and after that the raft, that took about 2-3 hours. When we were there, the water was not too high, but still wild. The raft was suitable for our children as well (12, 15, 17).The views from the river to the high gorge are stunning. The water of the river has a beautiful green/blue color and is very clear.After the raft we ate very good fish from the river. We had a great day!

Must see if in or around the area. Hell, even go out of your way to see it. We arried at the bridge spanding over the river and were amazed at the beauty, the depth of the canoyon from the bridge alone. There aee many possibilities of adrenalin activities here as well, so it is well sorh a visit if you would just like a stroll over the bridge with magnificent views or to get your kicks from some adrenalin rush.Sadly at this time out of season all of these activities were shut down for winter. But I just see that as my cue to visit again in warmer times.

This is such a stunning place, must visit if in Montenegro! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to go rafting on Tara when I visited but I hear it's a great experience. I loved the richness of the forests and the intense green color that surrounds you completely. Must be really stunning in winter, when the snow falls.

The Tara Canyon and Tara Bridge are beautiful and well worth the trip in to the mountains of Montenegro. The roads on the western side of Montengro from the Bay of Kotor up through Niksic and the national park are brand new and very good, so getting there is easy. There are two zipline companies operating on either side of the bridge. You can just turn up and have a go for €20 or so. They are the longest ziplines in Europe, over the deepest ravine in Europe, so pretty cool. The canyon and river itself are breathtaking, as are the surrounding mountains. We wished we had had enough time to go white water rafting, as the water is such a beautiful colour and we would have liked to have seen more than we did. You can visit the river/canyon further down the country (it runs a long way), but it is at its most beautiful up where the Tara Bridge is.

Whilst staying in Budva we decided to take a trip to Tara Canyon and do some rafting. I'm very glad we did, we had a great time. We booked the day trip via Best Tours, in Budva Old Town. We paid 55 Euros each with breakfast and lunch included. It is a long day but worth it. Our coach set off from Budva at 6.15am and we arrived back around 9pm. It took about 5 hours to drive including a few short stops on the way for refreshments & photos. Before rafting we were provided breakfast of cheeses, hams, eggs, bread. Rafting itself was fantastic, lasted about 2.5 hours. They provide you with wetsuits, helmets, shoes & life jacket. Make sure you have warm clothing to change into afterwards. Lunch was served after rafting about 3pm - fish or meat choice, both very tasty. The Canyon is spectacular, great views. Would highly recommend!

Far 4 hours from Budva by car, the rafting was excellent in the river. We arrived there a bit late so we couldn't catch the morning rafting, we caught the 2p.m. one. We reserved through a local company up there (there are many in Zabaljak) and we chose the best price with the best package including a lunch in a restaurant with local food and not just sandwiches (take the one with the lunch in the restaurant and not just the sandwiches and juice when you finish the trip because it is approximately the same price but the lunch is good and the food is tasty where you have to choose from many options in the menu).The experience overall was excellent and to remember later on.

Tara canyon very beautiful. We went rafting. It was hip. We did a half day raft; I would recommend forking out for a two day trip.

We decided for a trip organized by Tara River Express from Zabljak. Their info point was opened late evening and staff was very professional and gave us all the info-reliable partner. The rafting itself is at that time of a year rather smooth, no adrenalin at all, but the River is in wonderful scenerii and has a beautiful colour. The price 46 euro per person including jeep transportation,equipment and small lunch is maybe not small but quite worth it..

This place is beautiful.Though we just had a trip from Zabljak to Mojkovac (no rafting etc. ) but the views are breathtaking even if you have seen a lot of mountains in your life. A must visit place!

It's a must when u travel to montenegro. It's a bit far from where we were (budva) but worth the wait. Enjoyed 3 hours of rafting :D

This attraction is in the north of the country, and took 5 hours to reach by mini coach (not in Budva). It is the second deepest canyon in the world and the views are amazing. We were given breakfast and lunch by the company - very mountain food, a kind of stew for lunch which was very tasty. We went rafting in the summer and it had enough white water to make it exciting but in the spring it is wilder. A great trip out.

Took a couople of guests staying at my guest house in Podgorica..enjoyed the event, food could have been improved, (included) but beautifull scenery, despite the Headgear, it wasnt really dangerous,,In AUGUST, water levels moderate, but suggest they have a "coaching meeting" before we start, for communicating amongst us had its "moments" ,, alsowarn about swimming in the river, need strength as the current was strong..
