Neretva or Narenta, as its name reads in Latin, springs in the mountainous regions of Herzegovina as a small spring which, when connected with other tributaries, turns into the longest karst river in the Dinaric Alps. For most of its course, it is a real Herzegovinian, lively and pleasing to the eye, and upon entering the first town through which it flows (Konjic), it becomes plain.
So, we have discovered the secret of where it is best to start a rafting tour on the Neretva. The road of some twenty kilometers, from the village of Glavaticevo to the town of Dzajici, offers a magical and adrenaline-fueled ride through the rapids of the Emerald Canyon. In addition to the diverse flora and fauna, you will enjoy the roar of cold water, drinkable even in the part where the rafting tour takes place, as well as the songs of other natural beauties of this landscape.
Now that we have concluded that it is worth visiting Konjic to enjoy the beauties of nature, it is time to explain why it is worth coming for rafting and why we cannot enjoy these activities enough.
Rafting, especially in the summer and for a beginner, should not be an emotional experience with much refreshment. Herzegovinian karst and high summer temperatures will challenge you to wet your fingers in the Neretva with the help of a trip that will remain etched in the memory as the best refreshment with warming muscles. Many call rafting extreme, but you choose how far you go out of your comfort zone. We are guided by the assumption that it is best to leave it to the experts, so do it with our friendly team. We will be happy to welcome you with smiling faces and with a lot of will to share the experience you need to do at least once in your life with us. Step One: Invite friends, and the action can begin.
Once you have gathered a good team of people led by our skipper, you are ready to listen to the basic instructions that we must follow together to maintain safety at a desirable level. Second step: protective equipment !!
Professional equipment made according to world standards is mandatory. You have to start with something, so as the saying goes, “a hat protects the head,” it is a sign that you need a good helmet as protection against potential blows to rock, stone, wood, or some other solid object. The other part of the protective equipment is a life-saving floating vest that will keep you afloat in the event of a fall. TIP: if a fall occurs, turn on your back, float and wait for the help of a personal skipper. Don’t panic!
When we have already reached the stage of enjoying the trip, it is as if it did not even happen if you do not record it with a photo. This means that in addition to a helmet and vest, the equipment will be a mini sports camera or a protected mobile phone for photography lovers. Leave decorations like jewelry for a slightly different occasion, and protect your skin with a cream with a protection factor. A bathing suit and slippers are understood as the best clothing combination.
For those, a little impatient, do not hesitate to contact us for more information because we genuinely look forward to each new acquaintance and the opportunity to talk about what we love the most. LET’S ENJOY IT!
