Pure fun with the right dose of adrenaline - Our group of 9 (ages from 14 to 60) stayed at their outdoor center for lodging and HB (both very good) and went on a combined Rakitnica River (Neretva tributary) canyoning + Neretva Rafting/canoeing tour.
Starting with an adventurous Rakitnica canyoning part with somewhat challenging steep walking descent to the Rakitnica canyon entry point, followed by about two hours of pure fun, making our way downstream by floating, crawling, sliding and walking on rocks - all that in a freezing cold water (of course with a wetsuit on) in beautiful, untouched nature. Cliff diving option also included and taken advantage of by some of us. After reaching the Neretva junction, we were presented with a nice meal, and went on down the Neretva on rafts and canoes for another couple of hours (definitely less challenging than the canyoning but some nice Class III rapids kept adrenaline on).
Throughout the tour, we enjoyed the most beautiful nature in its pristine form, turquois water one could drink, rock formations, waterfalls, you name it. Everything well organized, knowledgeable guides, definitely the cherry on the cake of our entire trip.
After another night in their outdoor center, we then took a guided mountain hiking tour and enjoyed it just as much. In the center, some of us tried their ferrata climbing wall and bridge connecting the buildings.
Overall, highly recommended center. Perfect communication, lot of flexibility in organizing, and willingness to accommodate our special wishes was particularly appreciated.
Their center is still growing with very ambitious plans ahead. We wish Amela and her team great success!

10/10 experience - Had a great day! In the morning we were welcomed. At the location were clean changing rooms, toilets, showers and lockers. Our guide spoke our own language which was very easy. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful; we have had a huge number of recommendations about the area. The canyoning and rafting routes were beautiful. We got a delicious lunch and snacks for the road. After rafting there was also good food from the barbecue waiting for us. Moreover, we were allowed to use the climbing wall!

Hiking, canyoning, rafting, we did it all! - Visit Konjic is an incredible experience. Sanjin his wife and their team are incredibly kind and accommodating people. They give you the best experience possible. From driving you to the sites of the adventure and guiding you through the adventures they go above and beyond. Being from Canada and having visited Bosnia for the first time and doing these adventures things can get scary when having uncertainty but Sanjin and his team truly go above and beyond to explain everything, and take everyone to there own safety and experience levels. Sanjin and his team go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable in all activities. We had a big group and they were able to see everyone's fitness level and accomodate accordingly. The stories and history they shared along with the fun made things that much more enjoyable and worth while. They had so much knowledge about the history of Bosnia and they tied everything together so well!
Highly highly recommend them!!!!

Canyoning Jablanička Bijela river - Really great experience, stunning scenery, excellent guides.
Our party consisted of Mum & Dad aged about 60 and two adult children in their mid 20s and a Husband in his early 30s. A mixed group but well catered for by the activities.
Agree totally with the review by Pawel H, which just says it all, but much better than I could.

Great experience. Not as extreme as it looks. Definitely worth the price - It starts with an hour drive then 15 minute hike up hill and 40 min down through the forest to the starting point in the canyon. The only down side are the shoes, soft rubber shoes on rock and roots… The canyoning experience was great. We were in early September. The water was low but still it was a lot of fun while jumping from rocks or swimming under them. After 3,5 hours in mountain river we were getting bit cold but that’s when we arrived at our lunch break destination. Then we went for a short hike what warmed us up. Next 2 hours we’ve spended on swimming upstream and across, jumping from rocks and hiking. The guides were incredible showing us best spots for jumps, sightseeing, also we were introduced to local fauna and flora including snakes and all in a safe way for us and animals. It’s obvious the know the area very well. Guides have GoPro, photos and movies are free of charge but it’s best to take private camera (or waterproof phone in protective case - from rocks) everything else is provided (suits, helmets, food, etc.). The main focus of guides is having great time in a safe way, they are not overprotective for the rented equipment. They’re very friendly and it’s easy and natural to maintain contact even after tours. The best recommendation we can make is that after the canyoning we took 2 days trip to Lukomir Village and were equally satisfied with it.

Canyoning - much heavier then expected - We went canyoning with Visit Konjic. Up front we clearly explained that we are a family with 2 daughters of 11 and 13. We canyoned once before, we like a bit of adventure, but are not super sportive. We explicitely asked if the canyoning was fit for us and got convinced it was.
Turn out to be a very heavy experience with a lot of walking and rock climbing (not secured) off a hill and along the shore of the river. In the end we were away from 10 in the morning untill 18.30 in the evening. Lunch was not very spectacular and the guide was not really helpfull nor communicating. When he said it would take us half an hour to the next point, turned to be out at least 1 hour or more.
They also told us we should take our camera with us because the guide was taking pictures.... which we never got despite asking 3 times afterwards....
The experience and the places we saw were special and unique, but at the end of the day, they understood it was too heavy for us. We got to take a shower in the camp of the agency... turned out to be cold water ....
We heard a lot of positive things about the rafting with this company, but I would advice to only to the canyoning when in good shape.
