Adventure Hiking in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Via Dinarica is a long-distance hiking trail connecting eight countries through the Balkans, the main 'white trail' follows the spine of the Dinaric Alps. The trail was created to promote sustainable tourism, foster regional cooperation, and showcase the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Western Balkans - an inspiring example of how adventure tourism can bring people, and even countries, together!

In the event of poor weather such as heavy rain, strong winds and/or storms, it is possible that conditions may become unsafe to complete the planned hikes on this trip. Your guide will assess the conditions and weather forecasts and make a decision with your safety in mind. If it becomes necessary to make a change to the planned itinerary, an alternative hike or activity will be offered.

There will be one guide leading your group, as well as a driver on the days with transfers.

Excess luggage can be left in the van, where it will be transported with you and available each evening except for night 3 in Lukomir (you'll need to use your daypack as an overnight bag on this day).

Tap water throughout this trip is drinkable. You'll also come across a few mountain springs during the hikes.

Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion but there is an expectation to tip for good service. Your guide will help with advice, however we suggest the below as a guideline per person:

Trip Leader: EUR 40-50 per person Local Support Driver: EUR 20-25 per person.

Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality - a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.

Summer is the best time to visit Bosnia, with daytime temperatures ranging from 24 - 30 degrees Celsius, but cooling down in the evening and at night. Most days on this adventure are spent in the mountains where the temperature can be cooler, ideal for hiking. The weather can be wet and changeable at any time of year, so it's worth packing waterproof clothing.
