3RiversExpedition: Rafting in Bosnia, 3 Natural Parks, a UNESCO Site.
Plus a mix of Bosnian cuisine and 3 magnificent rivers!
Between 15.11 - 15.12.2024 you can pay 3RiversExpedition 2025 for 20% cheaper, using discount code 2025
And in 2025 we come with guaranteed novelties: Scuba Diving in the mountain river (!!!) - optional of course - tour of the old town Bihac with its multicultural history, Kayaking and Stand Up Paddling on a wonderfully friendly river.
Plus, again, a plunge into the past at Tito's bunker.
The latter are reminiscent of the troubled history of the Balkans. Which you'll also find linked to... Matthew Corvinus. But that's what we'll tell you there!
The adrenaline starts flowing from the very first day; we start with one of the most spectacular rivers in the Balkans, with breathtaking clarity and waterfalls so noisy that we can only "hear" each other through signs :)
The rafting starts as you can hardly imagine: we go round an 18 metre waterfall and take a boat down a more modest 5 metre one :)
Rafting Una (Bosnia) with Outdoor-Events.ro
Although you'd never know it, yes, the shift is perfectly suitable even for the weakest of angels!
We add to the adrenaline a mix of the beautiful and the unique, including a half-day walking through Bihac and its surroundings, Tito's underground airport and... a few surprises.
The second river is very unique.
In fact, we're still talking about Una, to which we're exploring another section, a little gentler but marvellously special: the river practically flows through ditches, glades and mini forests, making navigation through the little rapids deliciously fun!
We'll leave the boats to rest this time and sail on paddle boards and inflatable kayaks.
3riversexpedition
An intermezzo of multi-religious history and culture separates us from the adrenalin rush of the third river.
We take in Mostar, the 'treasure of the Balkans', a fairy-tale Muslim town with cobbled alleyways, mosques and an arched bridge over the river that looks like something out of Prince of Persia, not the borders of Europe. After a visit to the small bazaar, we guide you to another historical hotspot - the absolutely unique fortification from which Matthias Corvinus (yes, that's the one!) lost Hungary and opened the way for the Pasal Pasalacs in Central Europe.
Mostar, Bosnia
River number 3 is called Neretva.
Neretva, a dream river
22 km of wild tranquillity, a canyon to swim or walk through, an evening by the fire above the water and, of course, some adrenaline. As usual, we'll have superb hosts. Water and nature people, accomplished cooks, warm and clean beds, dreamy views at dinner time.
The river is endlessly beautiful, the same turquoise snake snaking through dazzling limestone canyons, but with less difficulty than those already traversed.
We travel it in raft boats and/or on SUP boards.
You'll love it!

Ah, I forgot: on Neretva the boat guides... are you :)
We end the expedition with an evening around the glasshouse in a place out of paradise. Then the road back home follows...

I was with them on tour in 2022. As with other tours, there was no shortage of adrenaline and the element of 'wow'.
The first evening we had dinner in one of the most unique formats I have ever attended. I won't give details as I don't give "spoilers" to other potential attendees, but it was wow.
Rafting we did on the Una River, where we crossed one of the largest waterfalls I've had the opportunity to cross. Unfortunately we didn't have time to Scuba in the river but we managed to get to Tito's bunker.
Neretva was the second river I sailed (and the most beautiful, in my opinion). We spent good hours in and out of the boat, taking breaks to admire the beauty of the scenery and enjoy jumping in the water.
Vrbas was the third river, where we had the opportunity to do several interesting sectors, some where the world championship was held.
Other highlights:
- Mostar - a city out of the movies.
- Plitvice - we managed to spend a day exploring Plitvice National Park in Croatia;
- Meals - I don't recommend the tour to dieters or curators. Or take a "cheat week" because you won't be able to refrain from the meals provided by the Bosnians. Or if you do manage to abstain, you have no idea what you're missing. 🙂
Mihai, Bogdan and Stefan were our guides. Needless to say, they entertained us and told us so many stories, just like on other tours.
Conclusion: Gogogo. 🙂
Mares Mihail -
Iuhuu, thanks for the impressions, Albert!
Ah, thanks also for not spoliated wow - the dinner in question :))

Soooo, let me tell you... 🙂 This season, I was lucky enough to go on an extraordinary #3riversexpedition holiday with our dear #MihaiMareș... Mihai MARE, as I like to call him!
Rafting trips, external rafting are unforgettable experiences!...
04:00am, everyone present, everyone in the mood for adventure, we boarded a new Ford Transit, with a driver of note 10 #BogdanPrundes , together with #MihaiMares, always attentive to our comfort: AC (according to everyone's needs), stops, stories, answers to all questions.
The #MaresOutdoorEvents team provided us with the best accommodation (comfort, view, hosts), the best dining places (comfort, view, food, flavours, hosts).... but, none of this compares to the spectacular rafting trips on the 3 rivers: Vrbas, Neredva, Una (each one more beautiful)... adrenaline, joy, friends, memories, but most importantly we felt safe all the time.
Sometimes words cannot do justice to these details, but we have pictures and videos, so that our grandchildren can understand the beauty of holidays with #MihaiMares, who is so passionate about his work.
What a great tour, we came back after 8 days with a great experience in the company of this team, who are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, it's a pleasure to go on the road with #MaresOutdoorEvents ❤️
In fact, all experiences with #MaresOutdoorEvents are unforgettable!
I highly recommend it with great pleasure and confidence to all those looking for exciting and unforgettable holidays!
Thank you Michael, for everything! ❤️

I attended the July 2024 round. It was marvellous. We visited 3 rivers with crystal clear water like you don't see in Romania. Una, Neretva and Vrabas. Mihai is a great person, he took us to places where we made friends and had good food. He made sure we didn't miss anything and had a good time. The food is excellent all over ( even for vegetarians like me 🙂 ) We travelled with them on the road, we chose the minibus route which took the hassle out of driving and enjoyed nice conversations with nice people. I highly recommend the Mares Outdoor Events experience 🫶 🫶
