We spent a day packrafting in the Tara Canyon with Mio.
It was a wonderful experience!!
Our guide, Mio, had a very educational approach for our first packrafting experience, which was safe and enjoyable!
The equipment was of very high quality.
Mio has a very respectful approach to nature, which we loved.
And as a bonus, the lunch was excellent, with wraps and muffins made with local products 😋
The river was MAGNIFICENT 😍

Our half-day packrafting excursion was exceptional! The boats are very easy to maneuver for beginners and we go at our own pace, in the magnificent setting of the Tara River! Mio and his friend are very professional, super helpful and friendly! The picnic is homemade (and the cook deserves to open his own restaurant)! To do without hesitation!!

We did a half-day packrafting trip. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.
Miodrag and his colleague are very kind and professional. They provided excellent advice and were extremely friendly. The lunch break in the great outdoors was very pleasant. We had a great time.
Thank you to the team. Everything was perfectly mastered and very accessible thanks to the explanations.

We did a day of packrafting with them and it was incredible. They were very attentive, everything was well-prepared, and the Tara landscape is a spectacle of nature and colors. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I’ve now been on two trips with Balkan Adventures, the Lake Skadar Kayak over 5-days and the Tara River Packraft 3-day trip. On both trips I’ve been blown away by both the scenery of the region and the dedication of the team. Most recently on the Tara River the guys once again beat expectations on their dedication to ensuring my party of 7 had the best experience. An amazing few days of seeing, eating, and enjoying culture which otherwise would not have been possible without the planning of the team. Thanks once again for your effort, I only hope others find you for a similar adventure!

This was my third trip with Gigo’s team and every tour has been excellent. This year myself and my husband and four sons and a girlfriend went on the four day pack rafting experience on the Tara river. The whole trip was excellently organised and the team were knowledgeable and fun. Myself and my husband ( both 60) who had never done pack rafting before enjoyed everything about the trip - the stunning scenery, learning new skills as well as very generous portions of local food! The team ensured we felt safe at all times and that we had an excellent experience that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys nature and would like to try a new activity in a fun and safe way.

Went packrafting on the Tara River, and it was absolutely incredible. The guides were fantastic, and the canyon was incredibly untouched. It was such a unique experience and I’d absolutely recommend.

We had a super day packrafting on the Tara river with Manu, he was a fantastic guide, the group was small and the route was beautiful and not too difficult for our first time packrafting, but there were still plenty of fun sections of rapids!
