After a lazy breakfast overlooking the sparkling Adriatic, it’s time to grab a paddle and explore Dubrovnik from the sea! We’ll kayak around the city’s towering walls and the nearby Lokrum Island, soaking in views that few get to experience. After our aquatic adventure, we journey inland — the coastline gives way to soaring mountains as we arrive in Durmitor National Park, Montenegro's alpine jewel. Tucked into cozy wooden chalets with spa access, we'll unwind among pine forests and prepare for a night of hearty mountain cuisine and crisp alpine air.

Wake up surrounded by the raw beauty of Durmitor National Park — a UNESCO-listed wonderland of jagged limestone peaks, deep pine forests, and glassy glacial lakes. After breakfast, we’ll set out on a scenic guided walk through this alpine dreamscape, pausing at jaw-dropping viewpoints and tranquil mountain lakes. In the afternoon, choose your own soft adventure: saddle up for a beginner-friendly horseback ride to the mystical Stećci — ancient medieval tombstones scattered among the peaks — or opt for an e-bike ride to the same enchanting spot. We’ll cap off the day with a rustic mountain dinner at a local farmer’s home, where everything on your plate is made with heart, heritage, and a dash of high-altitude flavor.

Today delivers a healthy dose of adrenaline and awe. We kick off the morning rafting the jade-green waters of Tara River Canyon — Europe's deepest gorge — navigating playful rapids and marveling at soaring cliffs around every bend. After the thrill, we switch gears with a peaceful visit to Morača Monastery, a 13th-century spiritual sanctuary nestled among lush canyons. By evening, we arrive in Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, where the night is young and the lively party street calls for a relaxed dinner, a glass (or two) of wine, and maybe some dancing under the stars.

Today is all about soaking in the serenity of Montenegro’s most enchanting natural gem — Lake Skadar. After breakfast, we’ll hop on e-bikes for a gentle 10km (6 mile) downhill ride through rolling vineyards, past sleepy villages, and along one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the Balkans: Pavlova Strana, where the lake coils like a giant serpent through lush hills. We’ll pause for a leisurely lunch at a family-run organic winery, where every glass and plate tells a local story. Then it’s time to unwind on a peaceful two-hour boat cruise across the shimmering waters of Lake Skadar, drifting past ancient monasteries, wild wetlands, and postcard-perfect mountain backdrops. As the sun sets, we’ll settle into our charming lakeside hotel in Virpazar — the perfect spot for a quiet evening and a deep exhale.

Today’s rhythm is slow and soulful. After a relaxed breakfast, we wander the atmospheric ruins of Stari Bar, a once-mighty fortress town now cradled by centuries-old olive groves. We’ll taste Montenegro’s prized olive oils and savor artisanal bites made with recipes handed down for generations. Then it’s time for a little sparkle: we whisk you along the stunning coast to Tivat, Montenegro’s luxury yacht haven, where a private speedboat awaits to whisk us to the Bay of Kotor. After docking in the storybook town of Perast (minus the cruise ship crowds), we'll toast the day with a sunset dinner by the bay.

Our final full day begins with a relaxed morning exploring the fairy-tale alleys and hidden treasures of Kotor’s Old Town. After some free time for shopping, coffee, or people-watching, we gather for one last adventure: a scenic cable car ride soaring from sea level to the mountain peaks. Up top, we'll visit the iconic mausoleum of Petar Njegoš before embarking on an unforgettable downhill bike ride — 24 thrilling switchbacks and endless Adriatic views guiding us back to the bay. It’s the ultimate farewell before gathering for a festive final dinner, sharing stories and savoring one last glass of Montenegrin wine.
