What To Expect
Durmitor National Park

Durdevica Tara Bridge
The crown jewel of Durmitor National Park, the Tara River, carves through the landscape to create Europe's deepest canyon.

Standing as a testament to human ingenuity, the grandiose Đurđevića Tara Bridge spans the canyon, soaring over 150 meters above the emerald waters below.

This is very long trip...

4.00This is very long trip with lot of driving. You seat in the car for a long time than actually explore the sites. Black lake is splendid natural beauty. Ostrog monastery is to do on the list. We are disappointed with Tara bridge, river & Canyon. Bridge was under construction and no safety railings, unable to get good photo. River and Canyon has not much water during our visit in May. Transport vehicle is not suitable for 4 adults travellers as it has no leg space and feel cramped and congested at the back.
There is a lot of driving...

5.00There is a lot of driving involved relative to the time spent at the main sights and the Tara Canyon was a little disappointing as all the books tell you it’s the second deepest in the world but the bridge is nowhere near the deepest part, which is essentially inaccessible to all but mountaineers. However, you do see a lot of the country. The reason for the five stars is our guide, Vladimir Markovic, who was excellent. As well as being a good guide with perfect English, he was a great travelling companion and we ended the trip as good friends.

5.00The tour was amazing. With my wife we went on August 2024 and because we didn't have much time decided to do this tour to see the northern part of Montenegro. We were so pleased that our tour operators Vlad was eager to tell us lots about the montenegrin history, and he also showed us some place that since me and my wife are nature lovers we loved them. Such as the tara bridge (i did the zipline, my wife was afraid to do it), the black lake(an alpine lake that has a really beautiful restaurant and really good food). I recommend this tour to everyone, and don't forget to do the zipline for me was an extraordinary experience
