Exploring new cultures doesn't have to be just walking in a town of your interest. Cities were originally built next to rivers and that is the reason that most of them grew and developed. The river was an essential part of their lives and that is why citizens of Balkan cities have huge respect for them. This is an amazing way to get to know our legacy, especially in a city like Višegrad, which is full of history.

With TARASPORT you can now learn something new, and at the same time enjoy and relax on our Drina River cruising tour. This tour can be combined into your holiday or mixed with some of our other tours and create an amazing holiday which will suit you and your friends and family.

Trip itinerary

Departure time: 10 AM
Tour duration: 3 to 4 hours

This tour begins in the early hours of the morning when we meet with you in Višegrad to do the organized tour. The meeting point is on the Drina river in the area of Andrićgrad, so make sure to come a bit earlier, so you can take a stroll here and visit the ancient historical monument The Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge, constructed in 1557. If not, there will be plenty of time after your tour.

Here starts our amazing cruise. Wild power of green and winding Drina was tamed by artificial dams and lakes (Višegrad, Zvornik, Perućac) and local boatmen tried to outwit its rapids, hence the saying "to straighten the curvy Drina". If you choose to sail on its currents, you can enjoy unforgettable views and unspoiled wildlife. Consider this day to be a completely chill day, without worries or cares - simple in its simplicity. Enjoy the smell of the fresh river water, which is brought to you by the lovely breeze. This tour is amazing for families with children since kids feel a deep connection with the water and it relaxes them and they usually have a good night's sleep after a day on the river. If you are traveling with a partner or with a group of friends, it might be interesting to learn some native words and expressions, followed by a good laugh. The highlight for any travel group is a swim in the river, so take your swimming suits and towels with you!

To take advantage of every moment in the right way we will take breaks for swimming and photography. Make sure to prepare your cameras and phones for taking stunning pictures, but we are sure that you won't be able to choose which picture you like the best. After a few hours of sailing, we return to Višegrad, where our tour ends.

Food

The true identity of a country can be recognized after trying a homemade meal when visiting a venue with traditional values. A great meal can restore strength and energy, it can prepare you for the challenging day in front of you and also warm you up after an exciting day filled with adventure!

At Outdoor TaraSport we nurture domestic, traditional cuisine, which creates a special feeling of welcomeness and intimacy with our guests. All ingredients are produced in the surroundings of our camp, in the same way our ancestors did, centuries ago. These landscapes represent a rare oasis of unspoiled nature in Europe, so the products of our region are unpolluted and healthy. The meals that we offer to you are made of organically grown fruits, vegetables and meat are grown and raised by the local villagers from Durmitor, Maglić, Zelengora and other highlands nearby.

In addition to delicious meals, we offer you authentic beverages of this region. Homemade brandy called “rakija” will surely elevate the mood (plum brandy, pear brandy, apple, quince) along with wines from the finest wineries. A new trend in our area are local beer brewers who make such good beer, they can definitely put some serious beer brands to shame. Traditional alcoholic drinks are not all that we serve - at our restaurant, you can choose from a variety of fruit juices, warm tea from the best herbs and popular hot beverages.

Fun activities, impressive views, and unique surroundings are an amazing way to get to know our country, but the best way to get to know the people is through food.
