Rafting On Tara River
Mountain Tara | Western Serbia, Eastern Serbia
Tara River is navigable for boats raft for an almost 100 kilometers. Canyon Tare can be divided into two parts-the upper part of the canyon and the lower part of the canyon. There are two starting points for a raft boats, kayaks, canoes, hidrospeed - and other vessels. In the upper part of the canyon the starting point is Splaviste, nearby Djurdjevica Tare and from there begin rafting tours during which runs through the entire canyon Tara. Tours through the entire canyon last for at least two days and during the night we stay in port Radovan camp in National Park Durmitor. When departure from Djurdjevica Tare all rafting participants must pay tax, input and insurance to a total approximately 60 Euros per person. Radovan overnight stay at the port is 27 Euros per person, so cost-tour through the entire canyon is much bigger than the tour prices in the lower part of the canyon. In the upper part, the deepest part of the canyon is near the camp Radovan port.
Starting point of a lower part of a canyon is Brstanovica and it is also the most common point because that is the most attractive part for tourists as well as for sportiest. This section is about 25 kilometers long and ends in our rafting center. Precisely on this section, World Rafting Championship took place: WORLD RAFTING CHAMPS 2009.
On this part of the river Tara are virtually all rapids so this tour is often called ''the adrenaline tour''.
Rafting in the bottom of the canyon can be extended even twenty kilometers from the rafting center to Foca. Accommodation during the tour in the bottom of the canyon and N. Park Sutjeska is at all times in the bungalow camp of our rafting center Drina-Tara.
Difficulty level of so-called water rafting on the scale for Tara is moving from third to fifth level, during the annual period, waters… which mean that the rafting tours never go without a professional skipper and complete equipment. Rafting season on Tara takes over whole year. Difficulty level increases at the beginning of the year, reaches its maximum usually in March and April, when is also the largest water level and then proportionately with water level falling by the end of the summer. Most often question is WHEN IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PERIOD FOR TARA RAFTING? The answer to this question is ALWAYS! Maximum of adrenaline is in April, May and June, but with decreasing water level in July, August and September some of the rapids are disappearing, but new and equally attractive rapids appears which you could not see during the high water level period so that means that Tara always offers something new and we often say that you can never flow on this same river twice.
Tara River in the last thirty kilometers of its border seems to flow between the Republic of Srpska (BiH) and Montenegro. It is mandatory to have with you ID card or passport.
