Montenegro 11 Days – 10 Nights – Option 1

This tour is an amazing way to discover Montenegro and its breathtaking beauty. Drive through the magnificent natural area of Biogradska Gora National Park and Bjelasica, providing a unique experience for nature lovers.

Explore authentic mountain houses called "savardaci," the ski centre Jezerine, Katun Vranjak, and enjoy a breakfast/coffee break with Montenegrin local products at 1750 meters above sea level. Experience the unique beauty of Vidikovac, where you can see three national parks - Prokletije, Durmitor, and Biogradska Gora.

Feel the richness and generosity of nature through a special experience of picking endemic plants, wild strawberries, blueberries, and medicinal herbs.

Discover the pearl of Bjelasica mountain – Biogradska Gora National Park, one of the last remaining virgin forests in the world. The forest is so dense that the sun can barely penetrate the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. You'll encounter trees older than 500 years and higher than 60 meters. In the heart of this untouched wilderness lies Biograd Lake, where ancient trees tower over crystal-clear lakes, beckoning you to explore a world lost in time.

Drive to the highest point of Bjelasica - Crna Glava, 2139 meters high, which allows you an unusual view of Biograd Lake and Ursulovac Lake.

After the Jeep safari, we will organize lunch.

***OPTIONAL: If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture and cuisine while exploring the beautiful Bjelasica region, a cooking class in a local household is a fantastic way to do so. During this class, you'll learn how to prepare Kacamak, a national Montenegrin dish passed down through generations, with a secret ingredient just like our grandmothers did.

Kacamak is not just food; it is a symbol of love and tradition in Montenegro.

But that's not all—prepare to unleash your inner culinary artist as we dive into the world of homemade pies. Discover the art of crafting flaky pastry filled with a medley of delectable ingredients, such as spinach, cheese, or meat.

Once our cooking adventure reaches its flavorful culmination, it's time to sit back, relax, and indulge in the fruits of our labour. Enjoy a hearty feast, surrounded by warm hospitality and the genuine warmth of Montenegrin culture.

The price for a cooking class with lunch included is 20 EUR per person.

Pick up at your hotel and drive to monastery Ostrog.

Ostrog Monastery is a place of profound spiritual significance and architectural wonder. Perched on the vertical cliffs the monastery, dating back to the 17th century, is a major pilgrimage site for Orthodox Christians.

It was founded by Saint Basil of Ostrog, who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity and performing miracles. The monastery is divided into two parts: the Upper Monastery, built into the vertical rock face, and the Lower Monastery, nestled at the foot of the mountain.

The Upper Monastery, with its whitewashed walls and gleaming golden dome, seems to merge seamlessly with the natural rock formations. It houses the relics of Saint Basil, and UNESCO-protected frescos from the 17th century, attracting pilgrims who come seeking spiritual solace and healing

Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics and Muslims, but also atheists, consider this a holy place. They all believe that the relics of Saint Basil bring miracles, and many of those stories are documented.

And the fact that all religions are equally welcomed here makes the Ostrog monastery one of the biggest sanctuaries in the world.

Drive to Durmitor NP

Embark on an enchanting journey through Durmitor National Park, where nature's wonders come alive in breathtaking beauty. As you venture deeper into this pristine wilderness, prepare to be captivated by two extraordinary treasures: the mesmerizing Black Lake and the awe-inspiring Tara Bridge.

Crno Jezero, or Black Lake, is a stunning glacial lake located in the heart of Durmitor National Park in Montenegro. The lake gets its name from its deep, dark waters, which reflect the surrounding forests and mountains, creating a truly breathtaking and mystical landscape. You can enjoy hiking or cycling around its shores, or rent a boat to explore its crystal-clear waters

Continuing your expedition, you arrive at the iconic Tara Bridge, an architectural masterpiece that spans the deepest canyon in Europe - Tara Canyon. As you approach, the bridge commands your attention, its majestic arches rising high above the emerald waters below. Stand in awe as you gaze into the abyss of the canyon, where the Tara River carves its path with relentless determination. The bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity, a testament to man's ability to harmoniously coexist with nature's grandeur.

While cruising through the place further down the line you can see many significant sites that embody the lifestyle of fishermen and other locals from this area. After a while, you’ll either catch yourself lost in thoughts about the chronicles from the past or just enjoy your mindful sea trip.

After cruising the gulf for a while you’ll have your eyes fixated on an islet in the middle of the bay. This very place is marked by legends that speak of Our Lady of Our Rocks. Due to the legend about its origin and indescribable beauty, it is considered one of the main tourist attractions of Montenegro.

The next stop, preceded by circling the spectacular island Mamula, is the Blue Cave on Lustica Peninsula – accessible only by boat(!).

Its name derives from the beautifully nuanced blue water inside the cave, created by reflections from the light hitting the sandy bottom. The blue light radiates so brightly that one can see it even while approaching the spot.
