Neretva River Tours — Rafting, Kayak, Boat & Speedboat from Mostar

Why book direct vs the platforms

Five Neretva-river experiences, one BiH-registered operator, no platform fee. Every tour above is run by us — the rafting guide who picks you up in Konjic is our cousin Goran (16 years on the river); the boat captain in Jablanica is the same skipper who’s been steering that route since 2014; the Stari Most boat is staffed by our Mostar Old Town team.

When you book a “Neretva rafting tour” on GetYourGuide or Viator, the platform takes a 20–25% commission and routes you to the same Konjic operators we work with. Booking here cuts that out and puts you in direct WhatsApp contact with whoever’s running your tour — useful when flights delay, weather shifts, or you want to change the day.

What “the Neretva” actually is

The Neretva is the longest river in Bosnia and Herzegovina (225 km) and the cleanest large river in Europe — drinkable in the upper section, swimmable along most of its length, emerald green from the limestone bed. It rises in the Dinaric Alps near the Montenegro border, cuts a 1,100-metre-deep canyon through Konjic and Jablanica, settles into the wide valley around Mostar where Stari Most spans it, then drains into the Adriatic in Croatia.

The five tours above each meet the river at a different point along that drop:

• Konjic rafting — the upper-middle section, before the dams, grade I–III rapids and the freshest water.
• Jablanica canyon (boat + kayak) — Lake Grabovica, the flat-water canyon section beneath Prenj (2,155 m) and Čvrsnica (2,228 m) peaks.
• Stari Most boat — the slow Mostar valley section, the postcard view.
• Bunker + rafting combo — the same Konjic rafting day, paired with the Cold War nuclear bunker hidden 12 km upstream.

Why we don’t run a speedboat tour

You’ll see “Neretva speedboat” tours on some OTAs. We don’t run one because the lower Neretva (Mostar → coast) is dammed and slow, and the upper Neretva (Konjic) is grade I–III rapids — speedboats don’t belong on either. If you want a fast, motorised boat day in BiH, the Krupa River (near Mostar) and Hutovo Blato wetlands are better fits — message us on WhatsApp and we’ll route a custom day.

Booking, cancellation, payment

All five tours: instant online booking, secure card payment (Visa, Mastercard, Amex via Monri), confirmation in 60 seconds, free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time. For Stari Most boat (€10) walk-up is fine — no booking needed.

WhatsApp +387 62 694 887 if you want to combine multiple Neretva experiences in one trip — we’ll route the days for you and quote any private transfer add-ons.
