Skadar is the Balkans largest lake, with two-thirds sitting in Montenegro and the rest in Albania.
A popular area for those seeking outdoor adventures, the surrounding national park is the perfect place to escape the heat of the city, with awe-inspiring mountains, island monasteries and pretty villages such as Virpazar.
The area is known for it's bird habitats and and you can look out for rare Dalmatian pelicans on the lake’s water – the world’s heaviest flying bird.
After breakfast you start your first adventure – sea kayaking. After a short safety introduction we start to explore the lake and its wildlife. You pass narrow channels through carpets of lily-pads. Romantic villages are nestled on the shoreline. Have a break on a small beach before you head towards the settlement. Continue to Podgorica, Montenegro’s lively capital where you'll stay in the historical centre.

After a hearty breakfast you follow a steep trail downhill across an ancient forest to the lake Biogradska Gora. There you are picked up and transferred across Tara Canyon, the deepest in Europe (1300m) to the starting point of your rafting trip on river Tara. In the afternoon you head to National Park Durmitor.
If you do not wish to join the rafting tour, you join a journey to visit the summit of Curevac which is arguably the best viewpoint to fully appreciate the beauty and scale of the Tara Canyon.
Included meals: Breakfast
After breakfast you have two options.
Hike to the summit of Crvena Greda, one of the best viewpoints in Durmitor. With every step the views become evermore impressive. Not only are you rewarded with a rest and time to have your picnic lunch, you are now directly opposite snowy topped peaks, including Bobotov Kuk, the highest 2,523m/8,277ft in the park, and views back down across the park to Zabljak in the distance. (15km miles, 700m ascent/descent, 5-6 hrs)
Or if you can have a relaxed tour around Snake Lake and Black Lake. There are some nice little bays along your trail and you can swim in Black Lake. You will definitely refresh you spirits. (8km, 2-3 hrs, +200m/-200m)
You could also spend visit Canyon Nevidio. The entrance of the canyon is surrounded by two glacial lakes and a waterfall. The Canyoning is grade 2-3 and takes up 6 hrs depending on the fitness and number of participants.
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Montenegro is a country full of beautiful views, but the Bay of Kotor’s waterfront might just be the best.
Spend a couple of days meandering through its towns, from the restored palaces of Perast to Kotor’s Venetian old town with sites including the three city gates, town square and clock tower, but the highlight is the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon. Nowhere combines ancient history and stunning scenery better.
An UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bay of Kotor's winding coastline offers ample opportunities for hikers and bikers, with quiet roads generally devoid of traffic. Head up to the observation deck at Tivat for panoramic views of the bay and hike the 1300 steps to the Kotor Fortress.
Included meals: Breakfast
While this trip will visit the old town of Budva and you have the chance to visit Sveti Stefan, the former fishermen village and nowadays top end hotel – but still one of the iconic landscape features of Montenegro.
Before your start cycling downhill, learn more about the turbulent past of the 19th century kingdom of Montenegro in Cetinje, the royal capital of Montenegro back in those times. Follow a winding road from 1350m above the sea right to the walls of Kotor – each bend offers a new stunning view into the bay.
Included meals: Breakfast
Following breakfast, your adventure trip in Montenegro concludes. Transfer from your accommodation to the international airport at Podgorica, Tivat or Dubrovnik for return flights home or we recommend an extension to discover southern Montenegro’s coast.

I am a regular cycle visitor to the Adriatic coast but had little knowledge of Montenegro. I found 3e on the internet and was glad I did. I told them our dates, number or riders and ability and they did the rest. They came up with an excellent itinerary, sorted accommodation and bikes and supported us on the ride. Without their local knowledge we could not have discovered the fantastic rides and places without 3e. Angelika was just fantastic. Hope to get back for some trail rides soon.
Perfect organisation of our family trip to Montenegro. Very professional guides. Unforgettable experience!
WOOOOW Just finished 6 magical cycling days in Montenegro. The riding was as a self guided tour- grand tour Montenegro. 3etravel organized everything. Starting from sending the route as a gpx file, reserved hotels, transferring my luggage from hotel to hotel, emergency phone, bicycle and a side bag, and 2 transportation. The tour was amazing!!! Avoiding the main roads, using beautiful side roads which leads to the most beautiful points in Montenegro. Thank you for your professionalism and concern.
We had an outstanding experience. While planning the trip, communications with the owner, Borislav, were timely and effective whether by email, Skype or WhatsApp. Borislav was accommodating in customising the trip to my specific requests. He coordinated airport transfers to/from Dubrovnik to Montenegro and arranged COVID testing so we would re-enter Croatia on the return. Our driver was outstanding in all regards: friendly, bend-over-backwards helpful and safe. Of the accommodations, 5 of the 7 were very good-to-excellent. I provided feedback on all of them. I plan on additional Balkan travel and, when I do, I will return to 3e Travel.
Thank you very much for the nice vacation. I really enjoyed the ride, nature and places where I could be. Your service was excellent and I definitely would recommend your agency to my friends.
I wanted to organise a trip for 40 friends to Montenegro to celebrate my partner's 50th birthday. Everything about the organisation could not have been smoother - the communication back and forth was fast, the 3e team successfully greeted our guests arriving at 3 different airports on multiple different days, all of our guides and drivers were excellent, the accommodation in each part of the country was local and authentic as requested, and most importantly we got exactly the amazing set of experiences that we were looking for: skiing and show-shoeing, long hikes, stunning views, historical tours, private tours and tastings at vineyards, bee-farms, olive farms and herb farms, boat-rides, oyster tasting, and many excellent meals and wine-tastings. 40 people left Montenegro as ambassadors of the country, and we all hope to return again. If anyone is planning a trip to Montenegro or any of the neighbouring countries, I will always recommend the 3e team.
This itinerary would cost from €790 pp.
