Tara Canyon

One of the longest and deepest canyons in the world, the Tara Canyon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must see destination for outdoor lovers. The final sections of the canyon form the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Due to the canyon’s location and depth, the best way to experience the canyon is from the water, on the Tara River. The Tara River cuts through the canyon and is a popular destination for white water rafting in the summer months. With crystal clear blue water, dense forest to the water’s edge, sheer cliffs and waterfalls to see along the way, hopping in a raft to float down the river is a rewarding and memorable experience. There are a number of rafting companies with accommodation set up on both sides of the border alongside the river. The rafting season runs from April till October, with the highest water flows between April and June for extreme adventure seekers. The best time for families is between July and September when the lower water levels offer a gentler trip down the river.
