If you have only one free day, this Discover Herzegovina day tour from Mostar, led by an expert local guide, takes you to the region’s highlights. Your day will begin with panoramic views over Mostar. Along the way you’ll visit the small old town of Blagaj, see the Dervish house and the dramatic source of the river Buna. You’ll also explore the quiet medieval gem of the Old Town of Pocitelje, where the harmony of nature and traditional architecture gives the place an almost fairytale quality. The tour includes a visit to the stunning Kravica Waterfall, a spot where you can swim and enjoy the surrounding nature. You’ll have time to relax on nearby beaches and to enjoy lunch and a cold drink with a beautiful view, making for a restful end to the day.

From Mostar, you’ll take a guided drive through the southern Bosnian countryside to the Kravice Waterfalls, a lush oasis known for its wide cascades and swimming spots. On arrival, you’ll have extended free time to swim, explore the riverside paths, relax by the falls or buy a drink at the nearby cafés. The pace is unhurried, giving you plenty of opportunity to enjoy the scenery and natural pools. On the return, the tour stops briefly in the historic village of Počitelj, where you can take photos of the charming architecture and panoramic views. The experience is suitable for solo travellers and is designed to give you more time at the waterfall than many other options, so you can focus on exploring and relaxing at your own pace.

On this kayaking tour, you will kayak through the canyon of the Neretva river passing scenic landscapes such as the mountains of Prenja and Cvrsnica. You will have the chance to swim in the river and jump from rocks that Red Bull cliff divers have jumped. You will also sample Jablanica lamb and drink spring water on your kayaking adventure.

On a guided walk of Mostar, a local guide will lead you to the UNESCO-listed Old Bridge, where you will marvel at the stone architecture and watch brave local divers leap into the river.

Later you will drive up Mountain Fortica for sweeping views over Mostar and the newly built Sky walking bridge. Please bring your passport, swimwear and a towel.

At AbrakaBakra, nestled in the historic heart of Mostar, you will take part in a hands-on workshop in traditional coppersmithing.

This experience begins in Mostar and takes you to the Cold River kayak camp on the Bunica. At the camp you will go through safety procedures before setting off on a self‑guided kayak trip along the slow, calm river. The Bunica is easy to paddle, so you can explore at your own pace, stopping and starting where you wish. Along the way you will pass through quiet, scenic stretches and reach the place where the river springs from a deep blue hole tucked between steep cliffs—a striking sight that offers strong photo opportunities. You may see wildlife as you move through the area, and you might spot migrating large birds between Europe and Africa, such as the Great Heron, typically in early spring and fall. After you paddle down the river and enjoy the sounds of nature, a Bosnian barbecue lunch will be served back at the camp. Following a leisurely meal, you will return towards Mostar.

You will join a day tour through Herzegovina that visits four notable sites: Blagaj, the Christian Orthodox monastery of Žitomislići, the medieval village of Počitelj and the Kravice waterfalls. The route mixes culture, history, tradition and natural beauty so you get a varied sense of the region in a single outing. Along the way you’ll move between riverside settings, historic buildings and dramatic waterfall scenery. In Blagaj and at the monastery of Žitomislići your guide will answer questions about the area’s cultural and religious heritage and the stories of past days. In Počitelj you’ll climb the narrow streets of the well‑preserved medieval fortification and take in a 360-degree view over the Neretva valley. The visit to Kravice will offer striking scenery and the chance to swim beneath the falls for a refreshing finish. The tour is designed to be well balanced, so you should experience a good mix of learning and outdoor time, and may still have energy to enjoy Mostar in the evening.

On the award‑winning The Death of Yugoslavia tour you follow the complete timeline of the birth and death of Yugoslavia. The experience is built around visits to four locations that act as physical markers of the country’s story. Along the way you will encounter striking, sometimes reluctant, monuments that recall a state which ceased to exist more than 20 years ago but remains vivid in the memories of its former citizens. By moving through those four sites, you will explore Yugoslavia during the Cold War, caught between the nuclear missiles of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. The tour examines Josip Broz Tito’s role and how his actions contributed to a prosperous, non‑aligned country. You will also investigate the rise of nationalism after the fall of communism and witness the events of the Yugoslavian War. The narrative links political decisions, social shifts and physical places, so you leave with a clearer sense of how a unified state emerged, held together and ultimately fell apart.

Every tour in Herzegovina stops at Kravica Waterfalls. Most give you 45 minutes to an hour. You barely have time to get down to the water before it's back on the bus. This one is different. You get 4 hours at the falls — enough time to swim, have lunch by the water, and explore the full arc of the cascade without watching the clock. On the way, we make a quick stop at Bunski Kanali, where the Neretva and Buna rivers meet over a limestone barrier. A 10-minute photo stop that most visitors never see. On the return, we visit Počitelj — a compact Ottoman-era village built into a hillside above the Neretva River, with a fortress, a mosque, and views that photograph well. Back in Mostar by early afternoon.

This tour is designed for anyone who wants to learn about the mentality and way of life of the local people while visiting key sites in Herzegovina. You’ll explore Počitelj, a scenic Ottoman hill town where only a few reconstructions remain. Once a thriving and wealthy settlement around 200 years ago, it now reads as an authentic historical site, with terraces and traditional fruit trees, including pomegranates, on the slopes. Next you’ll visit Kravice Waterfalls, a large area with plenty of cosy spots to relax. You may swim in the main pool beneath the falls or wander into the surrounding nature and find quieter corners. Finally you’ll reach Blagaj, a place of distinctive natural and architectural beauty. Its Ottoman old town and the Tekke sit beside the spring of the Buna river—the largest freshwater source in Europe—around which the settlement was built. As you move through these places, you’ll learn about local history, architecture and daily life, and have opportunities to explore each site at your own pace.

In Mostar’s Old Town you’ll enjoy a deluxe wine tasting where hand-picked Herzegovinian wines are perfectly paired with artisanal cheeses. You’ll taste either 3 or 6 carefully selected wines from local wineries, chosen to give a clear sense of the region’s styles. The setting is intimate, so you’ll relax as you sip in the heart of Mostar’s historic centre. A traditional meza platter with artisanal cheeses and local specialties will accompany the wines. Your host will explain Herzegovina’s centuries-old winemaking traditions and offer guidance on tasting, so you’ll learn about local production and flavour profiles as you go. The experience is suitable if you’re a first-time wine taster and provides a relaxed introduction to Herzegovinian wine culture.
