Get a thrill out of a fantastic full-day tour in stunning nature and ancient landmarks, quirky sights, and beautiful places on your guided tour for culture and nature lovers.

Start enjoying today’s tour by visiting the Monastery Ostrog, a pearl of Montenegrin spiritualism that is annually visited by more than a hundred thousand pilgrims from around the world and of all religions. It is one of the three most-visited Christian destinations on the planet with its cave-like chapel and monastery complex that preserves the relics of Saint Basil of Ostrog. All of Montenegrin spiritualism, belief and cultural treasures found their home high up in the Ostrog cliffs. You will be amazed by the place itself, landscape, architecture but also the astonishing stories about the life of St. Basil and the miracles that happen to people who visit the monastery.

After visiting Ostrog Monastery, we drive to the center of Cetinje, where you will see the bequest of the most important Montenegrins, the Petrović Dynasty that ruled the country over 200 years: Biljarda – the residence of the bishop, writer, and philosopher Petar II Petrović Njegoš, King Nikola’s Palace, Monastery of Cetinje…

Following the tour of Cetinje, ride to Njegoš Mausoleum. We drive through Cetinje towards the National Park Lovćen in southwestern Montenegro and Njegoš’s mausoleum on the “Jezerski Vrh” (peak), a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1657 m (5,446 ft) above the sea level. Arrival at the Jezerski Vrh on the mountain Lovćen to visit the spectacular mausoleum on the mountaintop, Lovćen’s superior attraction (built 1970 – 1974) and to climb the 461 steps up to the entry where two granite giantesses guard the tomb of Montenegro’s greatest hero Petar II Petrović Njegoš. Inside, under a golden mosaic canopy, Njegoš rests in the wings of an eagle, carved from a single block of black granite. Spectacular circular viewpoint called “Gumno”, provides a picturesque experience, and if the weather’s good, you will be lucky to see the Italian coast. After visiting the mausoleum, we drive towards the Bay of Kotor along the old Austrain-Hungarian serpentine road.

You may choose to visit Lipa Cave or the royal village of Njeguši instead of heading to Njegoš Mausoleum. Lipa Cave is a karst cave situated close to Cetinje with 2.5 km of halls and passages, making it one of the largest caves in Montenegro. It’s the first cave in Montenegro that was opened for tourists. The royal village of Njeguši will reveal the secrets of Njeguši’s reputed prosciutto and cheese specialties.

Rafting for 10 km of impressive rapids will surely trigger your adrenaline rush! The rafting from Šljivansko through the famous canyon Tara toward Žugića Luka (Lever Tara), lasts 2-3 hours (depending on the water level) with breaks for photography, swimming, and refreshment, as well as visiting the largest water spring in Europe and also the shortest river in Europe, Ljutica spring. After the short break at Ljutica, we continue through the Trešnjički Bukovi (cascades) and pass under the famous and also very popular tourist attraction, Đurđevića Tara Bridge. This architectural wonder has a height of 172 meters and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

It must have once been an impressive fortified town full of dedications to deities, grand buildings for the nobility and a residential and commercial hub for the people. For more than a millennium, it was an important part of this region. Today it lies in ruins.

Optionally, today, it is also possible to do a canyoning tour. You may enjoy the stunning Canyon Rikavac with its steep cliffs and clean cold waters. We will start this tour under the walls of the old town Bar and with the equipment on our backs, we will continue to the source of Rikavac. With your canyoning guide, you will hike, follow the water flow, overcome several abseils up to 10m, jump or slide from various heights to the beautiful natural pools below and swim in these waters.

This canyoning tour offers a “taster” experience for those who are willing to experience canyoning for the first time and is also perfect for families with children.

Following lunch (not included in price), return to your accommodation in Bar. Free time, dinner and overnight.

After about an hour and a half drive from Bar, we visit Tivat and see Porto Montenegro.  Porto Montenegro combines a spectacular lifestyle and a luxury residential village with a world-class marina in this part of the Mediterranean.

Later head to Kotor. Once you enter Kotor Old Town through the Sea Gate, the old Clock Tower will welcome you! You are right on time to explore the charming streets and medieval squares of this wealthy town!

Passing by the palaces of the noble families, you will feel the spirit of Venetian culture and architecture. Suddenly the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, patron and protector of Kotor, will appear in front of you and amaze you with its eternal beauty. Only a few steps further there is the Maritime Museum, home of the long naval history and tradition of Kotor and the whole Boka bay.

After visiting Old Kotor, continue the journey towards Perast, where the lavish architecture and history amazes every traveler. A short boat ride will take you to the made-made island “Our Lady of the Rocks”.

“Our Lady of the Rocks” is a reliable keeper of the secrets of sailors and local legends for 6 centuries. You will be impressed by the history and legends, paintings covering the walls and the ceiling as well as the fantastic view that opens in front of you!

Today is a free day or you may choose to enjoy Herceg Novi & Monastery Savina tour.

Herceg Novi is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the Montenegrin coast. The town is recognizable by its numerous stairs and the abundance of mimosa trees. Thanks to a large number of sunny days all year round it is often called “The City of the Sun”.

We visit Kanli Kula which means “Bloody Tower”, infamous 16th-century prison during Herceg Novi’s years of Turkish rule. The walk through the Old Town of Herceg Novi is most

impressive when approached from the pedestrian section of Ulica Njegoševa, which is paved in the same shiny marble as Dubrovnik and lined with elegant, mainly 19th-century buildings. The street ends with Nikola Ðurković square surrounded by cafes, where stairs lead up to an elegant Clock Tower from 1667 above the main city gate.

Also, you may proceed to do wine tasting at the Savina Monastery with its vineyards, located at the entrance of impressive Boka bay, on the estate of the famous monastery Savina from the 11th century.

Today you will learn about the techniques of winemaking in the lavish Mediterranean vegetation and woodland surrounding. The members of the Obradovic family will explain the benefits of wine growing in the coastal area. You will also taste one of the indigenous white varietals, Žižak (zhizhak). All of that, while tasting the products from their cellars! (Wine tasting is optional)
