Untouched Montenegro: Kotor Day Tour to Montenegro's Mountains

Explore Montenegro's beautiful national parks and cultural sites on this privately guided Kotor day tour.

This tour is a full day of Montenegro’s stunning natural and cultural beauty. Incredibly, you’ll see the Budva Riviera, Skadar Lake, Podgorica, Morača Canyon, Biogradska Gora National Park, Tara Canyon and Durmitor National Park all in one day.

I would never recommend trying to do this on your own, but having a guide make all your arrangements in advance means you can fit a lot into just one day. It’s the perfect tour if you are staying in Kotor and only have a few days in Montenegro.

It starts off with a drive along the beautiful Budva Riviera and some time to take photos. Then you pass the first of your national parks for the day, Skadar Lake National Park, where you’ll have another opportunity to stop and take photos.

After breakfast in the capital, Podgorica, you head out of town, following the Morača Canyon until you get to 13th century Morača Monastery, one of the most beautiful in Montenegro, built on top of a waterfall that spouts into the canyon below.

Further on, you reach Biogradska Gora National Park, where you can walk or row around Lake Biograd.

After lunch you continue your trip to the Đurđevica Tara Bridge over the Tara Canyon. This bridge was once the highest vehicular concrete arch bridge in Europe and it was blown up by its head engineer in 1942 to stop the invading Fascist Italian army from invading. Here, you can choose to just admire the views of the canyon some 172m (564ft) below, or you can take the thrilling zip line across from one side of the canyon to the other!

From the bridge you continue on to Žabljak in Durmitor National Park, where you have some free time to explore the Black Lake. Here, you’ll find people selling wild berries, honey, brandy and teas. It’s a great place to pick up a souvenir.

After your walk you’ll drive back through the ‘black mountains’ to your end point.
