A private seven-day loop from Budva through Durmitor, Kotor and Boka Bay that combines coastal cruising, national-park hiking and cultural stops like Ostrog and Njeguši. Expect short hikes, two boat outings and daily chances to sample Montenegro’s mountain-to-sea contrasts.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the car in Budva and the Adriatic wind immediately pulls the salt from the sea into your hair. Cobbled streets open into a sunlit Old Town; limestone cliffs and alpine peaks hover inland. Over seven days this private loop stitches coast and highland together—beaches and bays giving way to cedar and limestone plateaus.
