The 8 Best Canoe & Kayak Trips in Bosnia

1.Jablanica: Neretva Kayaking Tour near Mostar

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

Self-guided kayak on the Neretva near Mostar from Jablanica, through a dramatic canyon to a beach for swimming, picnic, and big mountain views.

“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.”

Kayak the clear Bunica River near Mostar, stop at the spring, then relax at a treehouse camp with BBQ and Bosnian beer.

“One of the best experiences we have had anywhere. Period. The host is lovely and welcoming and happy to share any information regarding the trip or Bosnia itself. The setting is unbelievable, with some of the clearest water I have seen in my life. You get the chance to lazy float down stream or paddle to your heart's content. While doing this a BBQ is prepared of local cuisine and everything is just so fresh. This is a MUST try, I would even recommend going out of your way just to try this experience!”
