Canoeing Neretva river

The second time we have canoed on the Neretva. this trip was about 3-4hrs and 15km. A stunning river with exciting but manageable rapids. Firt time we had been with Visit Konjic. Our guides were great, very experienced and all the kit was good quality. Safety was their first priority and I felt safe with my wife and teenagers. Would thoroughly recommend a) the Neretva and b) Visit Konjic.

Unfortunately, our experience with Visit Konjic was quite disappointing. The tour started over one hour late without any explanation, even though all participants were on time at the departure point. This delay pushed the entire schedule back. We were a group spread across two boats, and from the beginning, the atmosphere was tense. The boat guide was unfriendly and constantly made negative, disparaging comments about the group, which set the tone. The first 1–2 hours were still somewhat enjoyable, but the boat moved extremely slowly, as we constantly had to wait for the second boat. Its passengers seemed more interested in sunbathing than paddling, drifting along with the weak current. There were multiple breaks during the trip, all of which felt unnecessarily long. The entire rafting experience ended up taking 6 hours – for a route the guide himself admitted could be done in 50 minutes. All of this happened under the scorching sun, without adequate shade or shelter. The mood on the boat deteriorated over time. The activity was not sporty at all, mostly just sitting and floating. What starts out as relaxing soon becomes boring and even exhausting. We were all hungry, restless, and frustrated by the end. The price of €52 per person is, in our opinion, far too high for what is essentially a long, drawn-out drift down a canyon. To make things worse, the staff and organizers were unfriendly and dismissive of any feedback we tried to give. Final verdict: Instead of paying for this trip, just take a swim in the beautifully clear water nearby. It's refreshing – and free.

Absolutely fantastic excursion!! Visit Kongic are a very professional company who really have thought of everything. You will be provided with wetsuits and wet shoes as well as safety gear. There are lockers to store your belongings and hot showers and towels for after the trip. We ( family with 2 teenage boys) chose to canoe in 2 x 2 man canoes. We have a little prior experience with kayaking low grade white water and the decision was perfect for us. Following the rafters, the river was just challenging enough for us to make the day fun! We stopped to jump off the rocks into the river. The river and canyons are beautiful. The guide, Senad, was very friendly and made the day great fun. Do stay for a delicious BBQ lunch after. You will have worked up an appetite.

The views were amazing like heaven, we took so many photos and videos. It was a great experience. My son felt so excited and he loved the tour. The boat leader is a brave and strong young man, and i give him some rating 9 of 10 ( very good). BBQ meal was delicious. Thank you.

It was a super professional team and they always care about the children. Really fun and they gave us much freedom to jump into the water. They also were very responsible with our security. Definitely we'll come back. And our driver SISOU was the top of the tops.

We have booked the canoeing with my Wife, because we thought canon is the most easiest one since we have not really do these kind of activities. When we arrived, we got the proper informations and the flexibility to change it to Rafting, which was really important for us. The place is fully equipped, clear and looks amazing with a lot of possibilities. The nature and the river is beautiful. We have also go invited to have some grilled food with the other clients, and the food was delicious! I would honestly recommend them for everyone! :)

Absolutely great experience! The people working there were so nice, their homebase is awesome and really modern. The trip itself was great, the landscape, the river, the teamwork you have to do, to go successfully through the rapids. The food afterwards. I really can't say anything bad about it. Don't expect the worlds most hardcore river to do your canoeing experience, I would say it's great for everybody who has no to medium experience in canoeing to let it be challenging. For all proffessionals it's still a great experience because of the view you have.

Thank you guys for amazing day which we spent on the water. Everyone who come to you can see that you love your work and you do it very well 🙏 Keep going. Once we will be back in Bosnia we will definitelly come to visit you again

Team at the top, very friendly! We went rafting in a group (canoe kayaking is more for sporty and experienced people) The Guide is passionate about what he does and explains to us perfectly the maneuvers to do to fully experience the thrills of rapids in safety. The decor is incredible, we alternate between adrenaline and rest to enjoy the beauty of the Neretva. Feel free to jump into the water, it feels crazy On the return we could wash, they thought of everything (shampoo gel shower towels). I recommend 100%

Perfect organisation. Beautiful views. Helpful skipper. Fully satisfied. I recommend this experience for all, even non-swimming people, it's safe in the summer.
