Zabljak Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Danjela is the best guide ever! She is incredibly efficient, intelligent, cultured, very kind, and a good listener. She is an exceptional person. She just made our vacation wonderful and unforgettable, and we are very grateful to her.

Excellent experience I recommend to everyone. The scenery was amazing and the staff was extremely helpful, friendly and experienced. They helped us from A to Z with a beautiful smile. That was my first time rafting and it will be a great souvenir thanks to everyone.

If you want to hike the Durmitor Mountains and get a full experience, this is the way to go. The guide knew everything from mushrooms to berries to best paths to take for most spectacular views. Great experience.

Beautiful hike in the forest without difficulty to Lake Black with a nice and attentive guide. A peaceful discovery of the Durmitor with sumptuous landscapes. Thanks to Bozica!

We had a fantastic tour with Ace Adventure, comparable and better than tours we did with Backroads in the Dolomites and Switzerland in previous years. Misa was great with communication and customizing the tour for our family of five with teenagers, combining cycling with additional days of hiking and even a day of rafting on the Tara. Our guides David and Boban made sure we had an amazing time. They knew the routes and areas well, and with the support van and two ebikes, were able to tailor the riding to the right level for our individual abilities, and adapt well to an unforeseen road closure. When my wife was interested in spending a bit more time on history, they were able to add a small detour to Cetinje. The accommodations were not super luxurious, which fit our goals well since we prefer to be active and end up spending little time in the hotels. The food was fantastic throughout though! The custom riding jersey from the trip is now the favorite in our arsenal. All in all this was one of the best adventure vacations we had!

The snow shoeing was fun and at the same time amazing. It is a good walking experience that leads to stunning views of the frozen lakes (as we came by winter). The tour guide is very knowledgeable about the place which gives a sense of security. They were even kind enough to pick us up from where we stayed and gave us a ride way back to the city after the tour. You will definitely feel the passion of the tour guide in guiding you.Overall: *The view itself is stunning *The activity is fun *The guide (Egor) is very patient and passionate with what he is doing. *lets not forget about the dogs who also followed us during the tourThank you for this dreamy experience. This activity is highly recommended!

The location of the camp, the guides, the facilities, the river - all fantastic. We arrived in the afternoon in great heat and could not wait to get into the cool water (14 degrees). We were not disappointed!

Another great tour, this time in Montenegro. Company was excellent. Could not fault the organisation. Saw lots and some great walks.

I have just returned from an eight-day ACE tour booked through Headwater that took in three national parks and the Adriatic Coast.We flew to Dubrovnik where we were met and taken on mountain roads to Zabljak, a ski resort. The hotel lacks lifts but was comfortable and centrally located near the supermarket and restaurants where we dined.On our first day of hiking we visited the Durmitor National Park where we saw the glacial Black Lake before enjoying a memorable group picnic by Snake Lake with local produce and wine to celebrate a member’s birthday.The national parks have rare virgin forest. Often when walking you are joined by well behaved unleashed dogs. We also saw goats, sheep, butterflies and wild flowers. Our guide Danijela spotted a baby snake and blue beetles. She also pointed out rose hips, pomegranates and enabled us to taste local blueberries.Unfortunately it rained on our second day but our itinerary was adjusted so that we didn’t get too wet yet enjoyed some local sights such as Eye Lake. The weather spoilt the panoramic view but Danijela showed us pictures from a previous visit and was always armed with maps to help explain the geography and history of the country and Yugoslavia (southern Slavs) more generally. It was very educational.Danijela was always familiar with the countryside and able to adapt the routes for our group. Sometimes we veered off the beaten track and really felt we were experiencing something special. There were uphill climbs and rocky terrain but we were unhurried and could progress safely.Our third night was at the Hotel Bianca, Kolasin, a beautifully designed ski lodge with a warm wooden interior and an amazing swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi.We passed through the capital city of Podgorica on our way to the Mausoleum of Prince Bishop Petar II. A hot day and altitude made it a challenging climb but the 360-degree view was worth it. After lunch we hiked down to our minibus, waiting to take us on the serpentine road with its breathtaking views of Kotor and the Adriatic Coast to Perast, our base for four nights.Perast is largely pedestrianised and accommodation at the Conte spread out. The town has a Venetian feel with its waterfront terraces and churches. We swam in the sea and were able to view fish and the boats coming and going in the harbour area.On the one day with no cruise liners in port we took a boat to the nearby island of Our Lady of the Rocks before carrying on to Kotor. Here we climbed about 1,300 steps from the River Gate to St John Fort before returning to the town with its cathedral, city walls, market, cafes, shops, museum and plentiful cats.Next day we visited Godinje for a home made cheese, prosciutto and wine lunch at a fourteenth-generation family vineyard. Afterwards we descended to Lake Skadar, the largest Balkan lake. From our ‘Pelican’ boat we spotted kingfishers and yellow heron, as well as water chestnuts and water lilies. The boat stopped for us to swim mid lake with the mountains of Albania visible in the distance.Our last hike was on the Vrmac peninsula with its outstanding views of Kotor and Porto Montenegro bringing our walking holiday to a pleasant conclusion.

Very sympathetic tour guide who knows the area and is proud of her country. Beautiful nature and beautiful views

Well organized. We got a lot of helps and tips from Montenegro Extreme before the trip, not only about the rafting it self but also way to stay for a couple of nights. Radovan, the rafting instructor is professional and prepared a real adventure for us, taking everything to a next level. Tanja and Radovan are friendly and good people.

It was the best tour ever, amazing 4 days! We liked Budva and Kotor, but the most beautiful places for us were Skadar Lake and Black Lake on Durmitor. Wild beauty in Montenegro is really amazing! For sure, we will come again. Of course, we had excellent tourist guide (Nikola). See you soon again.

I was really looking forward to this tour having never been to this part of the world. The tour was brilliant, very well organised and never a dull moment. Our guide, Danijela, was so knowledgeable, professional and kind. The accommodation was fine (no lifts so keep that in mind with luggage) and the food plentiful. The walks were tiring but so worth it! We had a ‘day off’ visiting a beautiful monastery, wine tasting and swimming in Lake Skadar 👌 Memories that I’ll cherish ❤️ Definitely recommend 👍

I can’t thank you and your team enough for the trip of a lifetime- i didn’t quite know what to expect, but this tour went beyond my wildest dreams and I will never forget this beautiful adventure through the peaks of the Balkans. The tour, which was so meticulously planned, wouldnt have been the same without our incredible tour guide, Arianit, who made the full experience so personalized and memorable, and full of fun, joy, laughter and excitement. I hope to do another tour with you in the future!

A family tour which allows you to discover different Montenegrin regions, a very good program, varied sporting activities, perfect organization and an exceptional guide!

Dragan, our tour leader was great! Always doing above and beyond to help us out. Some beautiful cities and stunning villages, forests and mountains
