Morning meeting at Camp Grab, a short welcome and the introductions with the team. We will then assign you your packraft and the necessary equipment and demonstrate its setup. You will also be given a brief introduction to paddling and safety aspects of packrafting.
The first session is an approximately 3 hour, 7 km packrafting, from Camp Grab to the Bosnian border. This part of the river is mainly class II rapids and is ideal to get used to the packraft while enjoying the surrounding nature. There are, however, several exciting rapids, so you can’t get too relaxed!
After kitting up we will make our way down into the canyon, towards the river. The descent to the river takes approximately an hour. Thanks to the lightweight packrafts you will be able to move with ease and enjoy the surrounding nature during the hike.
After the first packrafting session you will be transferred from the border back to Camp Grab. Here you will have a delicious cooked lunch at the restaurant, followed by a short break before the next packrafting session.
The second session starts in the afternoon and is approximately 2 hours and 7km long. It’s caracterised mainly by class III rapids and it’s faster, with a number of breathtaking sections. A true adrenaline-lovers’ part of the river! It sets off upstream at Brstanovica and finishes again at Camp Grab.
You will be free to go after we dock back at Camp Grab. However, we hope that you will stay for a chat and a drink at the bar, giving us the chance to sum up the experience.
If you are staying in Montenegro for longer, you can always join us on another one 😊
