Durmitor Tour that we created gives the most complete experience of Northern Montenegro and its canyons. When you have already decided to partake in a journey of more than 200 km in one direction, we will give you a good reason why you should do it and not be disappointed. Durmitor National Park and Tara River Canyon have been a part of UNESCO World Heritage since 1980. Every effort to visit pearls of pure nature of Durmitor mountain massif and Tara river makes it worth it. You will have a full feel of dramatic and wild nature, which makes two canyons, Morača Canyon (the second deepest canyon in Montenegro) and the famous Tara River Canyon (the deepest canyon in Europe). The culmination of this winding long road ride is the sensational bridge on the river Tara, and then the fascinating mountain massif of Durmitor. The tour has several highlights, and some of them are very unique like taking the ski lift to the Savin Kuk at 2313 meters altitude. Morning in the canyon of river Morača, early afternoon at the Tara Bridge and Black Lake, and sunset on Durmitor plateau and Komarnica region make the tour full of different experiences. Welcome!

OVERVIEW, OR WHAT THIS TOUR MAKE SO SPECIAL?

This tour offers you the chance to explore the stunning natural mountain ranges in northern Montenegro in just one day. The original itinerary includes a drive through the canyons to the Tara Bridge, which guests have always found spectacular. However, due to a significant landslide that occurred 20 km before the Tara Bridge, this road is currently impassable. We do not have information on when, or if, it will be repaired during this season. As a result, we will take an alternative route that passes by the Ostrog Monastery. Guests who will not travel through the canyons this season will have the opportunity to visit the Ostrog Monastery on the way to Durmitor National Park.

m Durmitor

Once the road through the canyon is reconstructed and reopened, we will return to the original itinerary. Both itineraries are designed to take the same amount of time, and we believe this adjustment is a fair solution.

NOTE: The attractions on this excursion cannot be visited using public transportation in a single day, especially not within 11-14 hours.

WHEN AND WHERE WILL WE START?

The tour departs from Kotor at 7:30 in the morning, which is the standard time for all our trips. After a maximum of 45 minutes of driving, we will arrive in Budva, where we will pick up guests. We will arrive in Podgorica 60 minutes later, picking up the guests and continuing our journey. If guests take the private tour we will pick them up from their accommodations.

The departure point in Kotor is from the ECO petrol gas station next to the main bus station.
The departure point in Budva is from the ECO petrol gas station next to the hotel Slovenska Plaža
The departure point in Podgorica is from the PETROL gas station next to the main bus station, or at some other location that is more suitable for guests.

NOTE: This tour can last up to 14 hours, and because of that, it is not recommended for small kids.

WHERE WE WILL GO?

Alternative Itinerary (current): We will go to Ostrog Monastery, Tara Bridge (Đurđevića Tara Bridge), Ski Center Savin Kuk, and the Black Lake in Durmitor National Park.

Original Itinerary (not current): We will go to Moračica Bridge, Morača Canyon, Crna Poda Virgin Forest, Tara Canyon, Tara Bridge (Đurđevića Tara Bridge), Ski Center Savin Kuk, and the Black Lake in Durmitor National Park.

MORAČICA BRIDGE-(Not available for the itinerary 2025)

m DSC 6053 001

As soon as we leave Podgorica, the canyon of the Morača River begins on the 5th kilometer. The first attraction that you will see is the brand new Moračica Bridge. The bridge was built for the needs of the Podgorica-Kolašin highway, with a total length of 960 meters and the longest span of 190 meters, which makes it the highest bridge in Montenegro and one of the highest in the Balkans. We will take a photo stop here and at 2 more places in the canyon. The canyon is on the right side of the road which means guests can watch it and take photos during the ride.

MORAČA CANYON-(Not available for the itinerary 2025)

m River Moraca Canyon

Right before the longest tunnel in the canyon of river Morača, in the part named Platije, we will make another photo stop and then we will ride up to the top of the canyon at a height of 1060 meters above sea level. During the road, the view of Mountains Morača named "Kapa Moračka" is breathtaking. When we come to the top, we will take a small break in a village called Crkvine.

VIRGIN FOREST CRNA PODA-(Not available for the itinerary 2025)

m crna poda 01

After the break, we will continue our way to the bridge over the river Tara. First, we will pass the town of Kolašin, then the town of Mojkovac, and after that, we will enter the canyon of the river Tara, bordered by "black pines" that grow out of the cliffs and be high up to 50 meters. Right at a place called virgin forest "Crna Poda", guests can see the beginning of the canyon Tara, where we will make a photo stop.

TARA CANYON-(Not available for the itinerary 2025)

m DSC 2689 001

To be able to reach the Tara Bridge we need to continue our journey for the next 30 minutes. We will see several campsites located by the road from which rafting starts on the Tara River, we will see a few small waterfalls, and we will pass 10 small tunnels enjoying the view of the turquoise blue river, rocky cliffs, and nature-rich in greenery. And then suddenly, after the last curve, the most wanted bridge in Montenegro will appear in front of us.

OSTROG MONASTERY-(Available for the itinerary 2025)

m DSC 7204 001

We will reach the Ostrog Monastery through Danilovgrad, located 25 km north of Podgorica. The drive to the monastery takes about 15 minutes, and we will take a one-hour break there. By far the greatest pilgrimage sight in Montenegro is this orthodox monastery visited by many pilgrims and by groups of religious tourists as well as travelers. These all come to bow in front of the miraculous relics of St Vasilije of Ostrog (Sveti Vasilije Ostroški), a 17th-century orthodox bishop of Herzegovina and founder of the monastery who performed many miraculous deeds during his life. After visiting the monastery, we will go to Niksić (17 km away from Ostrog), and then to Durmitor.

TARA BRIDGE (ĐURĐEVIĆA TARA BRIDGE)-(Available for the itinerary 2025)

m wm djurdjevica tara 005 001

Spectacular Tara Bridge or Djurdjevica Tara Bridge was made without using any mechanization less than a hundred years ago. This hand-made bridge has a total length of 365 meters and its height is 172 meters. We will take a break for one hour, which is enough time for guests who want to take the zip line by the bridge or spend time sightseeing. Sometimes at the peak of the summer season, guests need to wait in line at the zip line start point.

SKI CENTER SAVIN KUK-(Available for the itinerary 2025)

m Durmitor Savin Kuk 09

After visiting the bridge, we will go towards the Durmitor mountain massif to the ski center Savin Kuk, which is located on one of the highest peaks in the Durmitor range. Guests who want to see the unreal view of Durmitor peaks and valleys can take the ski lift and after 20 minutes of the ride, they will be at 2313 meters altitude. After a few minutes of hiking to the edge, they will be able to enjoy the spectacular waves of glaciers, rocks, forests, and blue sky.

m Durmitor Savin Kuk 47

The snow might be here up to the middle of July, so a jacket and waterproof shoes are recommended. The full visit of Savin Kuk by ski lift (up and down, with photo-stops) lasts 90 minutes. In the case of strong wind, the ski lift is not open for visitors. Guests who don't want to take the ski lift will be transported to Black Lake. The distance is only 5 kilometers. Guests who want to stay on Savin Kuk will be transported to the Black Lake 90 minutes later, and they will have 1 hour to visit the Lake. The full time for visiting the Lake on our tour is 3 hours.

NOTE: The ski lift may be closed to visitors due to bad weather conditions (wind or rain). In that case, we skip the visit to Savina Kuk and go to Black Lake.

m Blak Lake Durmitor

Black Lake or Crno Jezero. is located very close to the mountain town of Zabljak, where we will take a break for up to 3 hours. Everyone will have time for what they want.
