Canyoning in Rikavac: Discovery and family tour

Beautiful scenery on the way to Rikavac

Located above the old town of Bar, you can access the site in 40 min from Budva and 1h from Podgorica. Be aware of the infamous traffic jams in Montenegro though!

Stari Bar: the old town

It used to belong to the Byzantine Empire, has been besieged several times over the course of its history, passing successively from the hands of the Republic of Venice to the Ottomans’. The aqueduct that supplied the city with water since the Ottoman era in the 16th century was destroyed following the terrible earthquake of 1979, after which the city was definitively abandoned, and rebuilt further away on the coast, to become the main harbour city of Montenegro: Bar.

Rikavac, the family canyon

This canyon offers amazing scenery with clear blue pools and beautiful limestone shapes. The fauna and flora is incredibly diverse and you will encounter many different animals. During 1h30 to 2h  you’ll be walking, swimming but mainly sliding, jumping, rappelling and zip-lining through this beautiful crack.
