Every year I go on an adventure and try something new. For two consecutive years, I went on a rafting in Bulgaria and heard by coincidence that the best rafting on the Balkans is the one on Tara River. Meanwhile, a colleague of mine spent the Easter Holidays in Bosnia and Herzegovina and she recommended to try Rafting on Tara River. In addition, she also suggested checking out https://www.raftingtara.bg/ in order to book the all-inclusive package for the entire rafting adventure. This beeing said, everything was booked for me and in May 2024, I headed to Sofia to embark on a thrilling Rafting experience, Via Ferrata and a lot of fun in Rafting Centre Drina-Tara in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
So, let’s hit the road!
