This full-day tour from Kotor covers northern Montenegro’s key natural and cultural sites over about 13 hours by mini-van or mini-bus. It starts with a photo stop near Perast, where you can see the artificial island Our Lady of the Rocks and the natural island Saint George from the shore. Next, there is a brief stop at Slano Lake near Nikšić, known for its saltwater and as one of the two large lakes around the city. The tour continues to Durdevica Tara Bridge, which was Europe’s highest bridge when built in 1940. You will have approximately 30 minutes here, with the option to cross the 365-meter long bridge that stands 172 meters above the Tara River canyon. Then the group visits Durmitor National Park’s Visitor Centre and spends about an hour at Black Lake, one of 18 glacial lakes above 1,500 meters elevation on Durmitor Mountain, often called the “Mountain Eyes.” Toward sunset, the tour ascends the narrow, winding road to Ostrog Monastery, perched high on a cliff. At this stop, lasting about 45 minutes, you may see barefoot pilgrims walking the 3-kilometer road to the monastery, some staying overnight in the monastery yard. The guide speaks English and covers surcharges on fuel are included, but entrance fees, food, drinks, and tips are not. Entrance to the interior of the monastery can be limited on weekends due to visitor numbers.
