Itinerary

Day 1: Day one

We’ll pick you up at Dubrovnik Airport and take you to the Zupa Valley. Along the way, we’ll stop in Mostar and explore this old city and its 16th Century single-arch Ottoman bridge which sits over the Neretva River.

You’ll have time to explore Mostar’s old town before we meet together at a traditional restaurant for a local meal.

We’ll then head to our accommodation for the night in Boracko Lake.

Day 2: Day two

We’ll start the day with breakfast followed by a drive to the Upper Neretva canyon in the Zupa Valley. From here, we’ll hike to the remote ruins of a 14th Century castle. These ruins sit atop a mountain and the path to get there is a challenging but fun one. We’ll take the path down that leads us through beech forests to the Rakitnica River. Here we’ll canyon for a few hours and enjoy lunch on the riverside.

After that, we’ll head to the shores of Boracko Lake (if we have time). There we’ll be able to relax and swim. We’ll once more spend the night at Boracko Lake.

Day 3: Day three

After breakfast, we’ll return to the Neretva River for a day full of rafting. You’ll encounter fast fun rapids and calm pools of water. There will even be time for swimming breaks and jumping off cliffs!

We’ll have lunch in Konjic before exploring the Old City and its scenic bridge. The afternoon will be spent discovering the city of Blagaj, its monastery, medieval fortress and vulture sanctuary.

We’ll spend the night in Mostar.

Day 4: Day four

We’ll drop you back to the airport after you enjoy one last breakfast in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
