Highlights
  • JQH4+2Q Glogošnica - Our kayak tour is set in a stunning environment where guests paddle amidst the peaks of Prenj and Čvrsnica, with the rocky canyon above the Neretva offering breathtaking views.

On this tour, you paddle a kayak without a guide and have unlimited time to explore. This is possible because the area features the small Grabovica lake (the dam is 6 kilometers from our location), making it a perfectly safe tour through the Neretva canyon. The kayaks can accommodate 2 adults and 1 child, with a total capacity of 220 kg.

At the end of the tour, you’ll find a beautiful beach ideal for swimming, picnicking, and exploring untouched nature. It takes about 1.5 hours to paddle from our starting point to the beach. You will return the same way, paddling through the canyon back to the starting location, making the total paddling time around 3 hours or less for a full day of enjoyment.

You will swim in the ice-cold Neretva river and witness some of the most stunning landscapes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the Prenj and Čvrsnica mountains and the Neretva river canyon. You can also jump from the rocks where Red Bull cliff divers have leaped, savor the famous Jablanica lamb, and drink spring water while paddling through the canyon.

At our starting location, you can camp in your own tent.

Brilliant fun with stunning scenery - What an amazing time we all had and the views were absolutely stunning. Brilliant support from beginning to end. We had a 2 person kayak with myself and 16 year old daughter and a 3 person kayak which is for 2 adults and a child. Be prepared to put in effort to row if you are beginners like us but we had so much fun getting the hang of the kayak. Beautiful beach at the end where you can go swimming or sunbathe. Kids absolutely loved every minute. Would definitely recommend for those who like adventure and the outdoors.

Enjoyed a beautiful trip on the Neretva River - Were kindly received and helped. You get a waterproof bag, so that's nice for your personal stuff. The idea is that you paddle to a beach, this takes about 1.5 hours. There on beach you can still stay if you want to swim. We had soon seen it there and went back again. We are not very fond of this, but beach is fine in itself! It really is an experience to kayak across the river in such a beautiful setting. It's worth it!

Loved every minute - Super friendly and helpful staff. Trip was self guided but well explained. Would recommend going as early as possible as can get very hot. Easy paddling but just so you know it is about a 12 km round trip. We stopped at the little restaurant on the river on the way up and had breakfast and coffee - geared us up for the trip. Staff here were great as well, welcoming and friendly. Beautiful scenery and a great way of experiencing the canyon. If you love the outdoors and being active I would highly recommend this trip.

Worthwhile excursion for the whole family - Beautiful area, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The proposed route for rowing was not entirely without, but easily done with breaks. Be sure to bring enough to drink.

Beautiful experience and helpful staff - Staff was friendly and helpful. Rental process was simple and convenient. The river itself is gorgeous; the water is so clear and beautiful. This part of the river is above the dam so there is very little current. You really can't get lost and I felt very confident doing it as a solo female traveler (I do have kayaking experience). The weather, however, was unpredictable. The forecast showed only 10% chance of light rain at 2pm, but suddenly around 12:30 there was a huge windy thunderstorm with lightning. It became quite challenging to paddle to safety in this wind, even as an experienced paddler. So please pay attention to the sky -- if it is suddenly getting darker, go to the nearest safe place where you can get onto land. Fortunately the staff came to pick people up at the beach and kindly drove us back to the launch point. Apparently in this area it is common for brief but intense storms, and indeed the sky cleared up after we returned and it was good weather for the rest of the afternoon. So if you find yourself in this situation I recommend getting to the nearest safe place where you can land your boat and wait out the storm with some shelter. As far as logistics for traveling to the launch point: I took the Autoprevoz bus from Mostar to the bus station at Jablanica, took a taxi to the restaurant Kovacevic, and then it was just a short walk to the launch point on the other side of the river. The taxi driver gave me his business card and I was able to call him and request a pickup after I was done kayaking.

Great family activity - Had an amazing day kayaking with the family. We were 5 people in 3 boats. The scenery is stunning and the water is so calm you feel very safe. It’s a self-paced / guided trip with a sandy area at the end. 6kms each way but they guys offer a tow back if you’re too tired to make it back which was useful if you have younger kids.

Neretva river kayaking - Me and my family had an amazing experience kayaking along the neretva river - we saw some beautiful scenic views. Haris (and his son) were so friendly and made us feel comfortable - they were very helpful and provided us with items such as lifejackets, waterproof jackets and bags, slippers etc! I would highly recommend this experience to others.

Fabulous - We had a fantastic day doing this activity, it we gorgeous views, a lovely cafe to stop on the way. The host was very welcoming and informative and friendly, and gave us a delicious glass of elderflower. The one warning, is that this took us a lot longer than we thought, so please give yourself enough time to complete it and take food and drinks with you!
