Its natural characteristics attract thousands of people from all over the world annually. If you are an extreme water sports enthusiast, you will love what Montenegro offers. Here are some of the activities which will constitute great incentives for you to book a flight to Montenegro approximately in 10 minutes.
Rafting
Tara River Canyon is the longest canyon in Montenegro. It is also the deepest river canyon in Europe with its 82-kilometer length and 1,300-meter depth. The river flows within the UNESCO World Heritage site Durmitor National Park. Tara River Canyon is definitely one of the most fascinating places to acquire nice long-lasting rafting memories in Europe. The best period to enjoy rafting fully in Montenegro is April and May as the flow gets stronger due to the melting snow. You should keep in mind that Tara is like a femme fatale; beautiful but dangerous. Therefore, you should take required precautions before you initiate your extreme rafting adventure.
Kayaking
Montenegro homes to the largest lake in the Balkans, Lake Skadar which is located in the border with Albania. Here is your chance to invite your friends to bet on your abilities to paddle from a country to another. Well, you can still try to achieve what Aleksander Doba did (he paddled from Portugal to Florida when he was 67 years old). But, Lake Skadar renders your job easier. You can also paddle to such awesome sights as the bird reserves of Manastirska Tapija, Montenegrin Alcatraz Grmozur Prison, and St. Nikola’s Monastery.
Scuba Diving
If you are looking for a diving location which offers clean waters, Montenegro offers many of them. The diving destinations of Montenegro, which are among the most popular diving locations in Europe, vary in features from a cave and a ship wreck. There are plenty of destinations which will look cool in your diving repertoire.
