Explore the river Drina with us, from its origin to the confluence in Sava River. Sailing along these rural areas lets you discover and enjoy the natural beauty, cultural and historical heritage, getting to know the people and their customs – ethnology, ethnography, and gastronomy. The longest version of our tour includes the route from Šćepan Polje to Belgrade in the length of 524 km, which is performed on request. While paddling, we pass through the landscapes of narrow valleys along the Drina River, the third deepest canyon in the world, with wavy hills and mountains in the hinterland and closer to the flat land.
