Reeds whisper in a light breeze, herons lift from quiet channels, and small boats slide between green banks. Wooden jetties sit under willow shade, paths cross low ground to calm viewpoints, and river mouths open towards the Neretva. Neum on the Adriatic and the stone lanes of Počitelj are a short drive away.

Top story from the wetlands Start at a small dock where water moves slow under reeds. Step into a flat-bottomed boat and watch the channel widen to a mirror with birds working the edges. Your guide points out kingfishers on low branches and cormorants drying wings on a snag.
After the circuit, follow a short path to a hide for a different angle, then pause for thick coffee at a simple waterside café. If you have a full day, add Neum for a late swim in the bay or drive to Počitelj for sunset on the tower. Read more on our Neum destination page and our Počitelj fortress guide.
