“I did two ferratas with Bosnian Outdoor Adventures and I totally recommend. The ferratas (Bijele stijene on Trebević and the one on Bukovik) are stunning, with beautiful views on Sarajevo and surroundings, especially the one on Trebević. My guide Jen was very friendly and considerate. Communication with the organisation went smooth.”

“Still smiling from ear to ear after the trip. Everything was excellently organized, but what stayed with me most was our guide's calm, warmth, and experience — it gave me extra confidence and the feeling that I was in good hands the whole time. A lovely human experience I'll remember for a long time.”
