Rafting Tara With Children

For a peaceful Tara rafting adventure ideal for families and children, the best time to visit is in July, August, or September. During these months, the weather is warm and the Tara River’s water levels are lower, creating gentler currents and a safer, more relaxed experience. It’s the perfect time to soak in the breathtaking natural surroundings and enjoy a smooth, scenic float through the canyon. This calmer season offers a fun and memorable outing for guests of all ages.

Tara Rafting In The Rain

You often ask us –What if it starts to rain? Is rafting postponed?

  • Of Course NOT!!

    Relax and enjoy—we’ll be ready at the agreed time, rain or shine. If it does rain, don’t worry—it only adds to the excitement! Many of our guests say rafting in the rain made their adventure even better. In fact, they’d gladly do it again, especially late in the season when warm weather and brief summer showers bring a refreshing boost to the experience. Rain turns an already thrilling ride into an unforgettable, adrenaline-filled journey through Montenegro’s wild beauty.

  • We Raft, Rain or Shine

    What is very important to emphasize is that, according to many years of high-quality organization of white water rafting arrangements and experience, the weather forecast for this specific area of the Tara River canyon is not always right. It often happens that the forecast predicts rain and that we have a whole day of clear sky, without a single cloud. The specificity of the position of this area, the deep canyon, as well as the specific air currents through the cliffs, cannot be easily predicted.

Find answers to the most common questions about our River Rafting Tour on the Tara River, in Montenegro.

How long do the tours last?

The Tara rafting tour lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on the water level and the time of year. Rafting in Montenegro during May and June offers an adrenaline-filled experience that is slightly shorter due to higher water levels. In contrast, trips in July, August, and September provide a more leisurely enjoyment of the natural beauty, the Tara River, and the stunning scenery of northern Montenegro.

What is included?

  • Professional Tarom rafting boat
  • Rafting equipment (suit XS-3XL, neoprene jacket, boots, life jacket, helmet)
  • Certified rafting skipper
  • Transfer to the starting point and back to the camp
  • Parking
  • Lunch

When is the best time for rafting?

For the most exhilarating Tara rafting experience, we recommend booking your trip in May or June, when the water levels are at their highest, offering an extreme and intense adventure. However, July and August remain the most popular months for whitewater rafting in Montenegro, attracting many enthusiasts eager to enjoy the stunning scenery and thrilling rapids during the peak summer season.

What equipment is provided?

  • Rafting equipment includes neoprene suits, vests, helmets, anorak jackets, boots, paddles, waterproof bags, and rubber boats.

  • The neoprene suits we provide at the camp are professional-grade, designed for serious rafting adventures. Many first-time visitors often wonder why a large number of rafters arrive at Brštanovica in swimsuits. We would like to clarify that suits are not mandatory during the summer months, as the high temperatures in July and August encourage visitors to enjoy sunbathing and full immersion in the river, which the suits can somewhat limit.
  • Neoprene boots are a compulsory part of our rafting gear, as they provide essential support and protection. During rafting, it’s important to keep your feet securely under the straps or ropes provided, and your skipper will explain this in detail during the pre-tour briefing. The boots also facilitate easier movement and help prevent slipping when getting out of the boat during breaks, swimming, or exploring the riverbank, waterfalls, and taking photos.
  • Our suits and boots are made by leading brands in rafting equipment—Hiko and Aqua Design—ensuring high quality and durability.
  • A helmet and vest are mandatory safety components for all participants. These are standard equipment for rafting on wild waters and serve as the primary personal protective gear. Even seasoned rafters who participate multiple times a season understand the importance of wearing a helmet and vest, regardless of the weather or water level. Everyone must have complete safety gear to participate in the tour.
  • We also offer anorak jackets as optional gear, especially useful in case of rain or cooler temperatures at the beginning or end of the season. These puffy jackets help keep you warm and comfortable, allowing you to enjoy the rafting experience even in colder weather or rain. Interestingly, many guests find rafting in the rain to be a unique and unforgettable experience, which we also wholeheartedly recommend.

What should I bring with me?

For the rafting trip, all you need to bring is a swimsuit and a good mood; the rest of the equipment will be provided at our Rafting Camp. During the summer months, we also recommend bringing sun protection cream to shield yourself from the sun.

Additionally, each boat is equipped with waterproof bags, allowing you to bring your cameras or mobile phones to capture and cherish the best moments of your adventure!
