At 8:30 am, your tour begins with pick-up from your hotel/accommodation in Dubrovnik. You’ll then make your way to your first destination: Pocitelj. Perched on a hillside on the banks of the Neretva River, Pocitelj is a traditional and idyllic Bosnian village that looks like something straight out of a fairytale. Initially settled by Bosnian Muslims in 1609, this quaint village offers plenty of photo opportunities. You’ll be able to admire its 18th-century Ottoman-style clocks as well as its historic churches, mosques and ancient fortifications before it’s time to move on to your next stop.

Located on the Trebizat River and boasting an impressive 30-meter drop into a pool below, it’s impossible not to be mesmerized by its beauty. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a 280-square-meter natural pool at the base of the falls – ideal if you’d like to take a dip!

After taking in Kravica’s stunning beauty, it’s time to make your way towards the town of Mostar. Much of the journey will be spent admiring the breathtaking views of Herzegovina, including that of its picturesque canyon known as the Neretva.
