"We had an amazing time today with our tour guide Emir, he picked us up and brought us to a shooting range where he showed us how to safely handle the weapons. It was very cool. Afterwards he brought us to a museum where he explained about the weapons and the stories behind them. Then we drank some coffee and had some nice conversations. Overall great experience, he takes good care of you so we can definitely recommend booking with him!"

Route & suitability
A summer day on the water instead of in the mountains. The Pliva lakes sit in a green valley just outside Jajce, calm, clear and deep enough to swim in, and the Big Pliva lake is about the best flat water in Bosnia for a first go on a stand-up paddleboard. You get the board, a short lesson and a few hours on the lake at your own pace, with time to swim and have lunch by the water. On the way you stop at the Pliva waterfall in the middle of Jajce and the wooden watermills between the lakes.
Best for
- First-time paddlers and families with confident swimmers.
- Anyone who wants a relaxed summer day on the water after a few days of hiking or climbing.
Not ideal for
- Non-swimmers.
- Guests looking for whitewater. Try our Neretva rafting instead.
Mornings on the lake are usually glassy and the wind picks up after lunch, so we get on the water first and leave the watermills for the afternoon.
Good to know

- No paddleboarding experience needed, but you should be able to swim.
- Runs from June to September, when the water is warm enough to fall in.
