The canyon they couldn’t see.

I had never been canyoning and I was quietly terrified in the car up from Šavnik. Stefan explained every abseil before we did it, went first every single time, and never once made anyone feel slow. By the third pool I was jumping in on purpose. The canyon itself is unbelievable — you spend four hours somewhere that looks like it has no business being reachable on foot.

Best thing we did in Montenegro, and we did a lot. The water is genuinely cold — they tell you that honestly beforehand, which I appreciated — but the wetsuit does its job and you stop noticing after the first swim. Small group, no queuing, no rushing. Highly recommend.

What sold me was how unglamorous the safety was. Ropes checked out loud, one person moving at a time, a clear signal for everything. Nothing improvised. I have done canyons in Austria and Slovenia with bigger operators and this was run better than most of them. Gear was in good condition too, which is not always the case.

Went with my 14-year-old and it was the highlight of the whole trip for both of us. He is still telling people about the slide. Stefan gave him the option to walk around the bigger jump with no fuss at all, which mattered more than I expected. Bring warm clothes for afterwards and eat properly before you go.

Živim u Podgorici i Nevidio sam odlagao godinama. Trebalo je da idem ranije. Odličan vodič, sve objašnjeno na vrijeme, bez žurbe i bez gluposti u kanjonu. Vrijedi svakog eura.
