Embracing the Mediterranean Balcony

As the sun rises over Blagaj, the air is filled with the promise of adventure and discovery. The Herzegovina region, often described as a Mediterranean balcony, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Here, the landscape unfolds like a living museum, where the Southern Alpine range meets the turquoise hues of karst rivers. This is a place where the sun kisses the stones and fragrant herbs fill the air, inviting you to explore its treasures.

One of the highlights of this region is the Herzegovina Tour which offers a panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea. This tour takes you through the historic town of Konjic, where the ancient bridge stands as a testament to the town’s 4000-year history. As you wander through the Old Bridge Area of Mostar, you’ll be captivated by the Islamic architecture and the stories of the bridge keepers who once guarded the Stari Most. The Blagaj Tekija, a 600-year-old Dervish monastery, offers a serene escape at the base of a cliff, where the river Buna emerges in a stunning display of nature’s artistry.

“Stunning natural lush landscape with stone bridges and waterfalls - We did the full day Mostar tour with Mak and what an amazing experience. First of all it’s a small group and hence you don’t waste time. Then Mak knows exactly how to beat the traffic and the crowd, took some amazing photos, gave us so much information about the history and crowned our experience with a delicious traditional roast lamb lunch on a table with a superb view of the river valley.” - Reviewed at 2024-05-05

A Kayak Journey Through Time

The clear skies and warm breezes of Blagaj create the perfect setting for a kayaking adventure on the serene Bunica River. This self-guided tour, available from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, allows you to paddle at your own pace, exploring the river’s hidden gems. As you glide through the water, the gentle breeze carries the scent of willows and the sound of nature’s symphony.

The Kayaking Adventure begins with a short drive from Mostar to the Cold River kayak camp, where safety procedures are explained before you embark on your journey. The Bunica River, with its calm waters and stunning spring, offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As you paddle, you’ll discover the river’s source, a deep blue hole nestled between steep cliffs, a sight that leaves nature lovers in awe.

“A good time to remember - The communication in advance of the trip was good. We were picked up by two very nice guides, driven to the kayak camp and had a memorable and wonderful kayak trip. With a wonderfully tasty meal and beer right at the end, this was one of our best experiences on the Bosnia trip. Can warmly recommend this tour.” - Reviewed at 2024-09-23
