Description

This tour offers an adrenaline experience through Canyon Skurda, located in an unexpected spot. The journey starts behind Kotor’s Old Town walls with a one-hour hike to the canyon entry point. After fitting your equipment, you will navigate rocky cliffs and waterfalls up to 25 meters high.

The canyon features challenges such as slippery rock crossings, jumping into pools, and rappelling with ropes. Most times of the year the canyon is accessible; in summer, water remains only in the pools, while in other seasons large waterfalls flow. Water in summer is moderately warm, so lightweight clothing is suitable. When water volume is higher, neoprene suits are provided.

The canyon tour lasts about three hours and ends just behind Kotor’s Old Town. This experience offers a blend of hiking, rappelling, and swimming in a natural setting.
