Tickets and timing

Per person, excluding accommodation; guided drivers add to the range.


Etiquette and safety

Keep back from low parapets, stay within barriers on skywalks, and follow cave or cellar rules. No drones in old towns or over rivers.

Add a short terrace stop for photos and roped-zone swims in season.


Cave-forward

Extend at Vjetrenica with the interpretation room and a short karst stop on Popovo Polje.


Wine-forward

Keep Day 3 in Trebinje and add a second tasting at a hill winery with a driver.
