Great experience! - We had a really nice weekend, the rafting was exciting, and we heard a lot of interesting storrys about the nature and the environment during the rafting. The accomodation was clean and nice. The food was also good, they had vegan options also. I truly recomend Rafting Centar Tara-Raft, they were very hospitable.

We were here at the beginning of July, from Sunday to Tuesday. So we had 20% discount because it is not during the weekend. It was suitable for our family because this time we prefered peace and quiet (we were totally alone in the camp!). When we come next time we would maybe come as a group (without kids) so we will choose weekend (live rock music) and maybe we will come in May to see how it is when the ricers are higher. It doesn't mean that rafting wasn't great this time. Food was very good, skippers and staff are great. Thanks to you all! (Ana, Aleksa, Pavle, Milan, Ognjen) P.S. Staff helped us in our trying to find my lost glasses and our lost car keys. 😉

The best rafting ever - The camp is in a great location! Perfect harmony of nature, beautiful Drina and sunny houses like in a fairy tale. Great food, great parties, relaxed atmosphere like at home. What gives this camp a special charm and soul are the young people who work in it. They are always smiling, kind, satisfied and very professional. Well done to the organization and the team! Special praise for skippers Luka, Srdjan and Igor. Of course, ours was the most beautiful and the best
In the memory forever and see you soon again!
