Full description
Tucked away in the hills above Budva, Drenovštica Canyon is a hidden gem known for its raw beauty and thrilling terrain. Starting in the village of Krapina, your adventure begins with a safety briefing and gear fitting, followed by a short drive and short walk to the canyon entrance.
What follows is a 3-hour journey through a spectacular natural playground filled with towering cliffs, rocky waterfalls (some up to 15 meters), and deep emerald pools. With your expert guide by your side, you’ll:
- Jump into fresh water pools
- Abseil down rugged canyon walls
- Scramble over boulders and slippery rocks
- Swim through narrow passages and natural rock formations
The canyon stays filled with water year-round, but in summer, it’s warm enough to enjoy in lightweight gear. When conditions call for it, neoprene suits are provided. After completing the canyon route, a short uphill walk (about 20 minutes) will bring you back to the starting point.
This experience blends the thrill of adventure with Montenegro’s untamed beauty—and it's open year-round for those brave enough to dive in!
Meeting point

Ivana took us on an incredible excursion. It was a perfect day, I’d never been canyoning before and it was thrilling and the nature was beautiful. I’m not super outdoorsy but it was accessible and a great way to be in nature. I really recommend this experience.
