7 Day Family Adventure Holiday in Montenegro

Not directly, but we can give you some recommendations if needed!

We're flexible on that and open to tailor-made requests.

Yes, airport transfers to/from Podgorica/Tivat Airport are included in the price. Other locations require an extra fee charge.

There are no specific vaccinations required for your visit to Montenegro. The World Health Organisation recommends that all travellers be covered for diptheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, rubella, tuberculosis and varicella (chickenpox), regardless of their destination. You should also consider being vaccinated for hepatitis A. Since most vaccines don’t produce immunity until at least two weeks after they’re given, visit a physician at least six weeks before departure.

All transport is taken care of by us!

Yes, all entrance fees are included in the tour price.

During this holiday, there are no rest days, but we give our guests some free time each day to enjoy on their own!

No, no visa is needed if you're coming from the EU countries, US, UK, Australia, or Canada...

Vegetarian diets are easy to cater for, although the menu in rural areas of Montenegro can be limited. It is more difficult to follow a vegan diet in the north of Montenegro, which is mountainous and has a long-established food culture focused on meat and dairy, as pastoralist communities. We advise our vegan guests to bring some snacks which are high in protein to supplement what is provided.

We firmly believe that holiday time in the car should be kept to a minimum. No single journey is ever longer than 4 hours, and most transfer times between centres are less than 2 hours.

We have full liability insurance up to £ 5 million.

Undiscovered Balkans is the trading name for Undiscovered Montenegro Ltd, a fully-registered UK company, registered company number 06779866. Our Montenegrin company, Miela d.o.o handles our logistical operations in Montenegro, and in other territories, we partner together only with fully-licenced local suppliers and partners. Payment for our holidays is generally made in Sterling.

Restaurants are great value – mains are generally € 5-10 and you should never pay more than € 2 for half a litre of beer. At the supermarket it’s even cheaper of course – a loaf of bread is 80 cents, milk is 60 cents.

No, flights are not included in the price.

Yes, you will need hiking shoes or sandals, a hat suitable for outdoor activities, rain jackets just in case, a reusable water bottle and a fleece. A head torch is also handy. If you book with us, we send you a list of appropriate clothing etc in a pre-arrival email a few weeks prior to your stay.

No.

Yes.

Montenegro uses Euro (€) as its official currency.

Tipping in Montenegro is not obligatory, but rounding up the bill or leaving a small amount extra for good service is appreciated in restaurants and for other services.

Not really, but we advise packing light.

Of course, you'll get the trip note prior to your trip with all the necessary information.

Like anywhere in the Mediterranean, mosquitos are around but there are never swarms of them. If you’re worried about bites, bring some repellent and some antihistamines too if you know you react badly to them (hard to buy locally). They are not generally a problem away from the coast.

No, entry visas are not included in the tour price. However, citizens from the EU, US, UK, and Australia may be able to enter visa-free for up to 90 days.

In most cases wifi is available, but in some more remote locations or due to bad weather conditions, wifi might be unstable.

Yes, all meals are included.

Our recommended minimum age for this holiday is 8, but we can make exceptions for exceptional kids! Please do bare in mind that activity level is moderate and that some fitness level is required for kids too.

That's hard to answer, it truly varies, but the majority of our guests are British.

Your Tour Leader is both your pre-departure contact and your on-location guide for all or most of the week (on occasion, they will hand over to another experienced member of our team for a day or two’s activities). Once you have booked, all questions about the holiday should be directed to your Tour Leader.

This moderate-rated holiday is perfect for active families who enjoy outdoor adventures such as hiking, kayaking, and canyoning. All group members must have a reasonable level of fitness, be able to swim and participate in tours that last 4-5 hours. The kayaking and rafting days require adults to paddle for younger children. Accommodation is basic in remote areas, and there will be less downtime than on resort-style holidays. Expect some car time between locations, which may involve twisty mountain roads.

While we cannot say for certain who your travelling companions will be, many of our guests are from the UK and some holidays may be fully booked by a group of friends or family. We believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all guests to share experiences and create lasting memories.

You will receive a trip note with all the necessary information!

No experience is necessary for any of the activities – our kayaking, rafting and canyoning guides have BCU or equivalent qualifications and all our other guides are equally experienced and qualified in their fields. Full safety equipment is provided where necessary. The exception is our kayaking holidays; these are not recommended for novice paddlers.

While it depends on the specific holiday and accommodations available, we always strive to meet the needs of our guests. If a guest requires a solo room for any reason, we will do our best to provide one, but if such accommodation is not available, it may be necessary to share a room with another solo traveller of the same gender.

Of course, ensuring that our guests have safe and comfortable accommodation is of utmost importance to us. All the accommodation included in our holidays meets local health and safety regulations and while it may be simple, it is always clean and equipped with all necessary basic features.

Undiscovered Balkans is part of Undiscovered Montenegro, a UK-registered adventure travel company founded in 2008 by British husband and wife team, Emma and Ben Heywood.

While we appreciate your interest in joining our tour, unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate guests who wish to join after the departure date. We highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot and ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

At our tour company, we believe that responsible travel not only benefits the environment but also the local community, which is why we are committed to our "Book to Give Back" motto. By choosing to go on our tours, you are not only experiencing the best of what the destination has to offer, but you are also supporting the local economy through our "Going Local" initiative.

We have free WiFi throughout all of our other accommodation options. Please be aware however, that in remote areas reception can be sporadic.

In all cases, please refer to the activity level rating provided on each holiday page, and the “activity levels explained” tab on the “About” menu. As a rule of thumb, you don’t need to be a marathon runner or champion athlete to enjoy most of our holidays (those who regularly push themselves to their physical limits would find our trips “soft”!), but you do need to be in good health and have a re

Active families love our holidays – you can read what guests with children have to say about us via reviews on Responsible Travel and Tripadvisor. The minimum age for most of our holidays is 7 years but we can make exceptions for kids as young as 5 years old if your child is active, adventurous, can swim and has experience of hiking for at least 7 miles including some uphill stretches.
