Our Secret Canyons Tours

1. Mostarska Bijela (Mostar)

Located at the bottom of glorious Prenj Mountain, Mostarska Bijela is the typical torrent flow. Being at its water level peaks during the spring and early summer, the canyon is quite but not completely inaccessible. While for the rest of the year, when most of the river bed is dry, the Mostarska Bijela is offering an amazing opportunity to walk the trails of perfectly untouched nature, and explore the most amazing part of this natural wonder, the 100 long cave-like canyon of Bijela River with an amazing waterfall at the very end of the canyon. The cave is extremely narrow, at places being 1 metre wide and over 20 metre high, with Bijela river passing through. It is recommended if the water levels are high during the spring and post heavy rain periods, to have an extra pair of shoes or flip-flops to wear, in order not to get your hiking boots wet. Cave is cold and the water temperature is around 6-8 Celsius.

Cave being 100m long, is a 15-20 minute walk through the ice cold, crystal clear, drinkable water flow. Perfectly polished, non slippery rocks are quite easy to walk, and if you are an expert jumper, you can even avoid wet feet too.
The beginning of the trail where Mostarska bijela enters Neretva river accumulation called Salakovac, is locally called Pećina (eng. Cave). That is where the 3 hours long hike begins….but don’t worry, we also offer jeep safari ride to shortened the trail to less than one hour hike, through the most interesting parts of the trail.

2. Hidden waterfall Istup (Stolac)

This waterfall is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. With its breathtaking beauty and serene surroundings, this waterfall offers a unique experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The Istup Stream boasts a magnificent waterfall that stands over 100 meters high. This impressive cascade is a sight to behold, captivating visitors with its sheer power and natural beauty. As the water flows downstream, it culminates in Tabačko guvno, where a small lake and pond are nestled, creating a tranquil oasis amidst the rugged terrain.

The best time to visit the waterfall Istup is during the spring and summer months when the weather is pleasant and the water flow is at its peak. The lush greenery and blooming flowers add to the beauty of the surroundings, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. This tour offers a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. With their towering cascades, serene surroundings, and rich cultural heritage, this waterfall is a must-visit destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

The duration of the tour is apx 6 hours, when shortened with a jeep. Our offer includes transport from Mostar and transport to the starting point of the trail with an off road vehicle. 

3. Drežnica canyon

The Drežanka River Canyon is located in the Blidinje Nature Park, stretching between the high mountain ranges of Čabulja on the south and Čvrsnica on the north. Due to the completely preserved purity of the water and the untouched beautiful landscapes through which it flows, the river Drežanka is simply leaving everyone breathless. Those who come for the first time, in addition to the unreal beauty of the river and its mountains, will be surprised by the size of this space. You expect one or two villages, and you will see a large area that you can explore for days and that will certainly not leave you indifferent. From the spring to the mouth the river is adorned with natural springs, waterfalls, blue sky, rarely seen water purity, greenery and an abundance of trout and other fish species.

Drežanka Canyon is ideal for weekend excursions, enjoying the unspoiled nature, searching for a photo frame that no one has ever caught before or just walking in silence. You just need some nice weather and the miles under your feet will just go down because you won’t be able to stop thinking that nature is doing some miracle in front of you and you should not miss it.

Our tour includes transport from Mostar, soft canyoning through river Drežanka (jumping of cliffs, swimming, hiking). We will take you to several hidden swimming pools and share a fresh healthy snack with you.

Since we wanted to do our first via ferata, we had a lot of questions. We ended up here with these lovely people via Instagram. We really had the time of our lives. it really was so well organized and the guidance was excellent. We were picked up on time from our hotel and a packed lunch was even put together for us. We are very happy that we ended up here. Beautiful route; the Armin Gaciz route and the hike to it was also very impressive.

Robert and Julijana provided us with a beautiful via ferrata. Very detailed explanation before we started, which made us feel completely safe. The via ferrata was challenging and very beautiful. We could complete this at our own pace and we experienced no time pressure. Upstairs we could enjoy delicious fruit with a beautiful view of the city. We hiked a little further to an old castle at the top of the mountain.We received a lot of information about via ferrata, history of the city, other possible excursions during our remaining stay in Bosnia Herzegovina.Afterwards we received many beautiful photos and additional information about other via ferratas and hikes that we could do.Very nice people with a passion for nature, via ferrata and helping their customers. Recommended!!

Absolutely fabulous! My husband and I did the Fortica ferrata a few days ago and loved every moment of it. It was short but sweet and just challenging enough for my husband who is not a climber... This was our first ever ferrata but i have a feeling it'll be hard to beat. Would highly recommend this company and their tours to anyone visiting. So friendly and helpful to all levels. Thank you so much for giving us an experience we'll never forget!
