Float through Europe’s deepest canyon on a two-day rafting trip from Šćepan Polje. Spend an evening by the river, then raft 3–4 hours past waterfalls and limestone cliffs with licensed skippers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The river arrives like a promise—clear, cold and urgent—cutting through limestone cliffs that tower more than a kilometer above the water. On evening one you sink into the slow rhythm of camp at Šćepan Polje: dinner by the bank, a walk to the river’s edge, and the hush of canyon walls that hold stories of glacial sculpting.

Neoprene fit matters
Get your neoprene suit and footwear fitted thoroughly at the camp—proper fit keeps you warmer and reduces chafing during long floats.
Protect electronics
Use the provided waterproof bag and secure small cameras during rapids; brief photo stops are available in calm sections.
Hydrate and eat
Carry a water bottle and eat the hearty riverside breakfast—energy is needed for paddling and cold-water exposure.
