The Neretva runs like a drawn breath through limestone walls near Konjic — green, fast in places, deceptively calm in others — and a two-person inflatable canoe lets you feel that current under your hull. On a half-day paddle from the Konjic Outdoor Resort, pairs launch after equipment fitting and a short transfer, then read the river as it speeds and spreads, offering pockets of flat water for photos and brisk rapids that demand teamwork.
