Venture into the heart of the Montenegrin wild on a gentle e-bike excursion. Gliding through emerald hills, you’ll discover quiet Montenegrin villages hidden among lush landscapes. Time seems to have paused in such places, allowing you to shed the modern world and settle into Luštica Peninsula's ancient charm.
Uncover the culture and gastronomy of the Luštica Peninsula, all while admiring the sea and tasting some of the finest local produce. You'll get a glimpse into the lives of the Moric family - famous across Montenegro for making the finest olive oil - and try their world-renowned prosciutto, cheese and wine. This is all done in the charming cellar close to their 300-year-old olive mill. From there, the culinary journey continues to Klinci, a well-preserved village known for its rural architecture. You'll tour the picturesque town and its nearby chapel - constructed in a single night - while learning the secrets of the region’s traditional flavors.
This cultural and historical tour showcases the most breathtaking areas of the beautiful Boka Bay while giving you an insight into its 5,000-year history. You'll explore Our Lady of the Rocks, one of two islets off the coast, before stopping in Perast - a well-preserved baroque town in the bay. From there, it's onto one of the best-preserved medieval cities on the entire East Adriatic coast: Kotor. Kotor is arguably the bay's most important town and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll also visit Palazzo Radoničić where the Milošević family will open their doors to tell tales from years of tradition and maritime heritage.
If you want to explore Montenegro's dazzling mountains and fascinating history then this is the tour for you. It starts with a breathtaking drive to Lovćen National Park that follows the old 25 Serpentine Road, taking you to a famous viewpoint to admire the Bay of Kotor. Leaving the sea behind, green forest tunnels will lead you to the Mausoleum of Petar II Petrović Njegoš which is located on a mountain top. There you'll learn about the old Montenegrin tribes who fought the many enemies who passed through the Balkan Peninsula. It's then onto Cetinje, the kingdom's capital, to uncover more of Montenegro's rich history. The scenic drive back to Mamula takes in the Budva Riviera - and the endless horizon - to leave you well and truly stunned.
This elegant boat journey takes you into the heart of Skadar Lake - one of Montenegro's most beautiful and timeless national parks. You'll pass through water lilies and wetland vegetation to uncover the picturesque village of Rijeka Crnojevića, spotting some of the lake's 270 different bird species along the way. Among them is the rare Dalmatian Pelican, one of the largest of its kind, which still nests in these quiet reaches. Following your voyage, a local family will welcome you to the village of Rvaši, renowned for its viticulture. Here, you’ll uncover the rhythms of local life while sipping fine wine and savoring home-cooked Montenegrin fare.
Known as the ‘Tear of Europe’ for its crystalline purity, the Tara River carves the deepest canyon in Europe and the second deepest in the world. Navigating the river’s rapids is a visceral adventure, with the landscape defined by steep gorges, vast boulders and ancient crevices.
After a morning on these ethereal azure waters, replenishment awaits with a traditional lunch of local flavors before your return to the island.
