A full-day rafting trip on the upper Neretva leaves from Konjic, threading limestone canyons, gravel beaches and clear swimming holes. Expect 6–8 hours of mixed rapids, scenic breaks by Boračko Lake views, and local food served before and after the run.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off beneath a narrow lip of rock and the river answers: cool, clean, and quick, a pale green ribbon threading between vertical walls. The first strokes send spray onto your arms; the air smells of wet stone and pine. From Konjic the van climbs for 45 minutes, and the view down to Boračko Lake and the upper reaches of the Neretva feels like a promise—steep slopes, jagged Prenj peaks, and the river carving its way through limestone. Once you meet the raft, the next six to eight hours belong to the current.
