About the Neretva River

The Neretva is the longest river in Bosnia and Herzegovina — and one of the coldest in the world. Even in the height of summer, the temperature rarely exceeds 12°C. Its vibrant emerald color and refreshing waters make it truly one of a kind.


  • It stretches approximately 225 kilometers, rising below Mount Zelengora and flowing all the way to the Adriatic Sea

  • The name “Neretva” comes from the Illyrian word Nera-etwa, which means “Divine River”

  • Its dramatic canyons and lush valleys have served as natural trade and travel routes for centuries

  • Settlements have been established along the Neretva’s banks since ancient times, drawn by its beauty and resources

Today, the Neretva is not just a river — it’s a symbol of Herzegovina and the most famous rafting destination in the country.


The Rafting Experience

Rafting the Neretva is more than just navigating rapids — it’s about connecting with nature and each other. Swim in crystal-clear water, relax by the riverbank with great food, and share laughter with friends and family along the way.

This adventure is safe, fun, and accessible for all ages — perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone seeking a refreshing escape from the ordinary.
