General info 

HALF DAY RAFTING - ŠĆEPAN POLJE

The Tara Canyon, often called the “Tear of Europe”, is one of Montenegro’s greatest natural wonders. Stretching for around 80 km and reaching depths of over 1,300 meters, it is the deepest canyon in Europe and one of the deepest in the world. Most of the canyon lies within Durmitor National Park, a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its dramatic cliffs, pristine forests and breathtaking scenery.

Tara is also considered one of Europe’s last truly unpolluted rivers. Its crystal-clear water and wild mountain surroundings create the perfect setting for an unforgettable rafting experience. During the descent, you will pass through stunning canyon landscapes, exciting rapids and calm sections where you can relax, take photos and enjoy the views.

Half Day Rafting from Šćepan Polje is ideal for guests who want a true adventure, but still have time to explore more of Montenegro in the same day. The tour is led by experienced local skippers and includes full safety equipment, making it suitable for beginners as well as more adventurous travelers.

Overview of the tour 

HALF DAY RAFTING ON TARA

HALF DAY RAFTING - ŠĆEPAN POLJE

  • A 10 AM start at Šćepan Polje, gives us time to meet our skippers and other rafters over a rich breakfast at a riverfront restaurant.
  • At around 11am, we prepare our equipment, which includes neoprene suits and boots, safety belts and helmets. Participants can bring their cameras and mobile phones which are stored in a safe waterproof bag.
  • The adventure begins at 11am with a ride to Brstanovica, the rafting starting point. This will be followed by a brief from the skipper, before commencing the first miles of the rafting experience at around 11:30am. Rafters put their rowing skills to the test, through the restless Vjernovic, Borovi, Varda, and Čegrlo rapids, before resting in the calm of many tranquil pools.
  • The raft is 16 km long.
  • We take a break to appreciate the unique landscape and waterfalls, have a photo break and even take a dip in the crystal clear (but cool!) waters.
