Best of the Balkans: Croatia & Montenegro
Our two-country Best of Balkans Tour brings together the best kayaking in the Adriatic Sea and the best of the region鈥檚 mountains and rivers. Although Croatia and Montenegro share a common Adriatic coastline, the islands end at Croatia鈥檚 southern border with Montenegro. Croatia鈥檚 4000 km. of spectacular coastline are littered with roughly 1185 islands, a sea kayaker鈥檚 dream. What tiny Montenegro lacks in Adriatic coast and islands, it makes up for in spectacular mountain scenery, deep river-cut canyons, and the mountain ringed Bay of Kotor.

Experience the best of both worlds- Croatia鈥檚 sea and Montenegro鈥檚 mountains. Paddle sea kayaks in Croatia鈥檚 deep blue sea, hopping from island to island. Sleep in a stone guesthouse on a quaint island without roads or cars. Feast on local seafood and rich Mediterranean cuisine. Jump into the warm sea without regard for the water temperature. A leisurely transition to Montenegro includes a visit to the UNESCO walled city of Kotor and a mountain hike for panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor. White water raft the cold, green waters of the spectacular Tara River Canyon, second in scope in the world to the USA鈥檚 Grand Canyon. Sleep in wooden cabins at a rustic riverside camp. Enjoy hardy mountain meals around a roaring bonfire. Take in the star-studded night sky and crisp alpine air.
