Why Choose This Tour?

Gaining a reputation as a soft adventure hotspot, Montenegro is a treat to cycle in.
The fabulous scenery and seeing a huge hare.
Wild flower meadows and butterflies galore.
Cycle touring is a great way to experience all Montenegro has to offer.
Most of our tours include the five National parks of Montenegro.
Each of them features unique environments and rich ecological values.
Lake Skadar, the biggest lake at the Balkan peninsula features a very rich bird fauna.
On our multi-activity we offer bird watching with kayaks.
These tours are guided by bird protection activists.
We avoid using off-road jeep transfers, since some areas do have a very fragile soil surface.
We believe in the first line that our feet - or pedal power - can take us everywhere.
Cycling is thirsty work and we encourage our guests to use re-fillable water bottles, since tab water is drinkable in Montenegro.
In order to avoid empty transfer kilometers we cooperate with transport providers, who are closest to a starting or pick up point of our tours.
We include public transport in our tours where applicable.
Eg.
transfer by train form the coastline to the north of Montenegro saves 115km on the road.
In general we use almost no printed marketing material.
To present our company and products we use tablets.
The design works for our website is done by local creatives.
We include as many local people as possible on our tours and we hope to build a bridge between visitors and locals and create better understanding for all day life challenges in Montenegro.
Our local guides are usually recruited from the Northern parts of Montenegro, since this part of the country provides little opportunities for employment.
An integral part of real understanding and enjoyment of a region or country is eating the local food.
This ensures that the local producers see how valuable their produce is, in terms of keeping farming traditions alive.
We encourage our guests to buy local produce for souvenirs eg.
home made Rakija (spirit), honey products, artisan wines, olive oil products, etc.
We cooperate with farmer communities, and we take our guests to visit them where possible which is a special experience.
In return for the interest in their lifestyle, the generated additional income contributes to sustaining the livelihoods of the farmers, allowing people to stay up in the mountains producing traditional dairy products and maintaining the landscape.
