Raft, Hike and Canyon in Montenegro

All round yet another really great MBA trip. The logistics and accommodation were perfect and whilst the food was ok at the hostel, there was at least a lot of it. The host was friendly, approachable and ‘on it’ throughout - quickly pivoting the itinerary when needing to (inevitably due to the weather…). A really good group of like-minded folks of all walks of life that got on really well and really knew their flags of the world.

As others have commented, the rafting is definitely tame but that can’t be helped so far as I can see and if you want more full on rafting choose another trip.

As someone who had never gone on a dedicated active adventure holiday this was fantastic. It was organized very well and the ready transport made it really stress-free.

This was my first trip with Much Better Adventures and I will definitely look at booking another in the future. Everything was so well organised from the minute I arrived, meaning that the whole group and I could just focus on the adventure ahead.

Canyoning was the highlight of the trip but I thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities. The rafting was very calm, as others have mentioned, so it was more of a nice boat trip down the river but still enjoyable. If you’re looking for bigger rapids we were told that April/May is a good time to go for that.

Montenegro is a beautiful country and I would highly recommend this trip if you’d like to get away and appreciate nature for a bit whilst taking on some new adventures.

The accommodation exceeded my expectations, as the chalets were lovely. The food was plentiful, with both lunch and dinner being two course meals each day, so you won’t go hungry. I’m vegan and really appreciated the hosts accommodating my dietary requirements.

Shout out to Luka, who was our group’s guide and a great host, adjusting our itinerary around the weather to help make the most of our time.

Overall this was an excellent trip, which covered a lot of ground in a short space of time and I would highly recommend!

A great break away from day to day life with rafting, hiking and canyoning. Brilliant company and our guide Momir was fab! Highly recommend. As others have said, the rafting can be a bit more sedate than expected depending on the time of year and the water levels in the river but the canyoning provided an adequate adrenaline level for myself. Was very impressed by the quality of the accommodation.

This was a great trip, Momir is a brilliant guide and host, you visit some really beautiful places and the accomodation alone is fantastic.

A great short trip to Montenegro. A beautiful country with stunning national parks and welcoming countrymen.

I fell in love with Montenegro on this trip. A great way to see some of the top spots in this beautiful country. A special thank you to our guide Momir who ensured we were all looked after and made the most of our time. All our hundreds of questions were answered and he really showed his knowledge and passion for what he does and his country. Hvala Momir!

Top organisation from start to finish. The accommodation in both Durmitor Park and Podgorica was ideal. Meals and lunches were good, breakfast selection was excellent.

The rafting was quite tame due to low water levels at this time of the season, but it was still fun and very enjoyable to see the Tara River. Guides were again great. The hike up Prutaš was simple enough but requires care and a decent fitness level. The zip line was a great way to finish the day. Canyoning was great - don't underestimate the cold and the very steep walk out of the canyon.

Overall I loved the trip. I was apprehensive about being in a group before the trip but everyone was great. The banter was great and we learned tons about Montenegro along the way.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an active way to explore Montenegro.

Our Montenegro adventure with Much Better Adventures was fantastic, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide. From the start, Momir’s care and attention made everything easy and enjoyable. He kept us all informed and organized through a WhatsApp group, and paid particular attention to ensure everyone was comfortable, especially during the activities, which were all excellent.

Momir’s warmth and genuine passion for his country made us all feel welcome and added a lot to the trip. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great adventure in Montenegro. Thanks, Momir, for an unforgettable experience!

I joined 13 others to explore the Durmitor National Park as a solo traveller, having been particularly enticed by the option of canyoning. I was a little nervous about who else would be on the trip but found it was other likeminded people and we all got on great - it was a great first experience on a group trip which I'd love to repeat. Our guide, Ozzy, was fantastic throughout - super friendly, with a great sense of humour, and always happy to help. He shared his experiences of local life in Montenegro and his other experiences adventuring around the National Park, leaving many of us wanting to go back and explore further. He was also great at keeping us on schedule. It was definitely a packed trip, but so varied with lots to see which was great. It was so convenient to have all the itineraries, travel and meals planned out for us. No stress whatsoever. The accommodation was beyond my expectations and I particularly loved the chalets. Food was also good, some repetitive basics but they were well done and nourishing for the activities. There's a lack of fruit though so we did purchase some at the supermarket one day. I booked the trip when it was brand new to Much Better Adventures so they had a bit of an intro offer on (plus a sale!) - I feel I got a bargain for what I paid (although it appears the price has increased significantly since).

The trip was well organised, the accommodation was in a great location to relax after the activities. Momir, the host done a fantastic job. He planned everything professionally and assisted each individual where and if it was needed.

Definitely an adventure of a lifetime! Ozzy was an amazing guide- he managed everyone’s needs and made sure everyone was safe throughout the entire trip. Durmitor national park is absolutely gorgeous and the accommodations were so comfortable and cute! I felt like I really got to relax in nature and see the beauty of Montenegro. Highly recommend to anyone!!! Thanks again Ozzy for making it such a memorable experience!

This trip packs a lot into very little time so probably isn't one for people who want a lot of downtime on their holidays, but if you want to see and do a lot whilst using as little annual leave, it is a great choice. The hike and canyoning are not to be missed activities and the rafting whilst not adrenaline fuelled when travelling later in the season is still a fun and beautiful excursion. Our guide Ozren was fantastic and took very good care of us across the trip. Food choice is limited if you are vegan or veggie which is worth noting but if you eat fish you will be very happy. My only suggestion would be that the rafting should be a whole day activity rather than a half day but that is a pretty nitpicky suggestion. Definitely worth checking out.

We had an absolutely amazing trip in Montenegro with our guide, Ozren. 4 days packed full of wonderful activities with the most beautiful scenery and fantastic people. Hiking, rafting and canyoning made for an eventful, energy fueled, ecstatic week. Thank you to Ozzy for guiding us with expertise, knowledge and humour, you truly were the best guide!

Momier and the guides were extremely knowledgeable. Everyone on this trip was very personable and friendly, the daily adventures were well planned and you don’t have to worry about a thing because Momier had already taken care of everything for you. I just needed to show up and bring a big appetite.

A well organised amazing experience.

From start to finish, the organisation and logistics were fantastic. Our guide was a great character, lots of fun which elevated the trip. The activities did not disappoint and a fantastic time was had by all.

Fun yet challenging at same time; be ready for intensive, elevated and at times difficult hiking with rocky heights! Also canyoning requires jumping from heights into narrow but deep pools of cold water, I would suggest training beforehand, as 4 of us wouldn't or couldn't go, as we were kind of aged out, and offered e-bike tour alternative, which was a nice to have this option. Canyoning was described by some as an extreme sport.

Had an absolutely fantastic trip. Good selection of activities and great guides to take us through them. The food at the accommodation was basic and lacked variety and the whitewater rafting was pretty tame (though still a fun experience). Otherwise I would give this a full 5 stars.

Overall a great experience, the Canyoning being the highlight of the trip - massively exhilarating and a physical challenge. The hike was also an enjoyable challenge. The rafting was unexpectedly easy however, with little paddling required. Apparently this was due to low water levels. Prior warning too about the tipping culture would have been nice (tipping the driver, the skipper for the rafting etc). The guides were accommodating with letting us go to towns to get extra supplies/withdraw cash. Make sure to pack/buy lots of water bottles as they don’t provide you with water during the activities.

Oh wow, this trip was absolutely fantastic! The Durmitor National Park is a gorgeous place to spend a few days, and the range of activities within the itinerary really ensure that you experience the best of it. Momir was a brilliant and attentive host, and everything was really well organised throughout, allowing us to focus on just enjoying it all. The lakeside accommodation was also especially pleasant, the perfect place to unwind after an active day (and even dip in the lake!). Food portions were generous and it was lovely to be able to try out delicious home-cooked Montenegrin cuisine. I genuinely loved every moment of this trip and would encourage anyone considering it to just do it!

Exceptionally well organised from pickup, accommodation, transfers etc… the Guides Momir and Luka were excellent hosts -took great care throughout, excellent knowledge and confidence on the activities and fun to joke and banter with. The river for rafting was spectacular and great fun. The Hike was a good standard of challenge. The Canyoning activity was outstanding! With fabulous jumps, abseils and good quality equipment. The guides were fast setting up the ropes, moving the group and managing safety. We did Bosnia with MBA last year and this was equally as good - Thoroughly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a 5-day adventure holiday in Montenegro's Durmitor National Park. From start to finish Momir, our group leader, was fantastic. His genuine hospitality and adoration for Montenegro added a layer of charm to the experience that made the trip even more special.

The activities and adventures offered were truly awesome. From the gentle pack rafting excursion to the beautiful hike and highly invigorating canyoning experience, each experience was elevated by the beautiful surrounding landscapes - majestic mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush green forests.

The accommodation was fab, the food was delicious and the itinerary was perfectly ordered.

The Durmitor National Park is a beautiful, unspoiled wilderness, I throughly enjoyed my adventure and would absolutely recommend booking this trip!

Highly recommend this trip, company, location. Set in a stunning location, everything was well organized, we were really looked after by our host Luca. Canyoning was the highlight of the trip.

What an amazing holiday. Montenegro is a beautiful place to visit. The trip was well organised, are host luka was a top bloke. The trips were amazing, accommodation was spot on the food was great. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone who likes these adventure holidays Cheers guys

This is the first time I’ve taken the time to write a review but it seemed a small way to say thank you for a fabulous trip. Everything surpassed my expectations - beautiful country, relaxed hotel in a stunning location, simple but delicious food (and lots of it), brilliantly organised activities and a great vibe in the group. Luca, our guide, was first class. I found the activities more of a stretch than the rest of the group and he was super kind and supportive. He did a great job of keeping us to plan whilst giving us flexibility with the arrangements as well. I highly recommend this trip.

This trip was really amazing. It was absolutely no stress with everything taken care of by our amazing guide Luka, who stayed with us for the duration of our trip, organising all meals, transport, accommodation and activities for us. He made sure to take some really good photos and videos as well so that we could focus on enjoying ourselves. Accommodation was a lovely remote lodge which was absolutely perfect for a nice break in the mountains, food portions were huge and there was a good amount of choice. Recommend the fish! Overall would highly recommend the trip to anyone looking for some adventure but who still wants a relaxing break.

Montenegro was blessed with stunning landscape and natural beauty and the experience was unforgettable as the MBA team and guides made sure we experienced the best of what they had to offer. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and they integrated semlesses into our group, sharing jokes and stories. Very professional and paid especial attention to safety and group moral. Momo and Lucas, a huge thanks.

We had an amazing trip that was professionally executed from start to finish by Momir our local host/guide.

Our activities included rafting, hiking and canyoning which were some of the best experiences we've had with spectacular views and terrain within the Durmitor national park.

The base for our trip was at Zminica eco lodge located north of Zabljak, was set in tranquil settings on the edge of a lake within the forest was fantastic.

Overall an unforgettable adventure which couldn't have been 'much better' ☺️.
