A cool morning mist lifts off the Neretva as rafts assemble on the gravel shore—paddles tapping, neoprene suits snapping into place. The river pulls you forward, carving bright green through limestone cliffs and past villages clinging to steep terraces. Over three days you trade the rush of Class II–III rapids for jeep tracks, stone stairways and an underground relic of Cold War secrecy.
