Package program

On arrival at our center you will be given the equipment needed for rafting. Everyone gets neoprene wetsuits designed for a long stay in the water, which will protect you from the cold water of the Tara River. You also need shoes, that is boots, also made of neoprene, a life jacket, and helmets. You wear all equipment over your swimsuit or shorts.

The drive from our camp to the rafting starting point takes about an hour.

After arriving at Brštanovica, the skippers - boat drivers - assign you to boats, where they will give a short briefing, that is a course on how to behave on the boat. The boats used for rafting are professional boats built specially for rafting and designed to withstand the playful rapids of the Tara River.

Each boat has waterproof bags in which you can put some basic things.

We advise you to bring your GoPro cameras. If you don't have one, you can rent a camera from us and capture unforgettable moments of rafting.

During the rafting you can expect more than 30 exciting rapids (the best known are Ćelije, Borovi, Varda…) that will take your breath away with their power and speed and give you a real feeling of adventure and adrenaline.

Somewhere around the middle of the descent we will take a break and see who has the courage to pass the "manliness test", that is, to bathe in an icy waterfall whose temperature is barely 5 °C.

You will also have the chance to swim in the Piva River - a river with incredibly clean water. After rafting on the Tara, we continue on the Drina to our center.

After some 2-5 hours, which is how long the descent itself lasts, we arrive at the foot of the rafting center. Returning the equipment and warm water follow, which you will find immensely pleasant after the cold water of the Tara River.

We serve lunch when you return from rafting.

For lunch you will have the chance to try homemade veal čorba, a fresh village salad, and as the main course veal under the sač with potatoes. All dishes are prepared on the spot, in our kitchen, from mostly organic ingredients from the nearby villages. For dessert we serve homemade cakes - sour cherry cake, wafers, walnut pies, čupavci…
