Thanks to the impressive canyons and crystal clear water, every kayaker will have the experience of a lifetime on the rivers of Montenegro. The nearly 500 km of rivers that flow through the northern region range from easy paddling to expert level rapids. Kayaking in Montenegro is an experience no one will ever forget.

Skadar Lake

One of the most popular things to do in Lake Skadar is kayaking. Kayaking is arguably the most incredible thing you can do there, exploring the Balkans’ largest lake in perfect peace and soothing silence. Far removed from the tourists onshore, you’ll be able to see wildlife from up close and admire the lakeside villages, fortress ruins, and islet monasteries from a uniquely different perspective. You can rent kayaks for a couple of hours, go on week-long Lake Skadar kayaking adventures, or pretty much everything in between. Local outfitters offer a variety of (guided) kayaking options.

Morača river

The river Moraca flows from the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica through a rugged to the rustic village of Redice where the gentle rolling water transforms into Level V rapids that are suitable for expert kayakers only.

Lim river

The river Lim has its headwaters in the picturesque Plavsko lake where slow flows descend into canyons near the northern city of Berane where Level V cataracts abound. Expert level only.

Tara river

The river Tara is the most famous river in Montenegro. The spectacular and scenic river winds its way across the northern part of the country and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. Trips along the Tara are usually 60 kilometer and can be T paddled in a two days with the opportunity for an overnight in the Durmitor national park or one of the many riverside rafting camps.
