★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $159

Review the Neretva rafting day tour from Mostar, with river rapids, canyon scenery, breakfast, lunch, transport, and practical booking tips.

“Beautiful scenery and river. Some fun rapids, although for the most part, just gentle bobbing.

A few too many other stops along the way, and a lot of waiting time surrounding breakfast and lunch. That would be my only negative: a lot of waiting around.”
