Trebižat River
Safari

T
his winding river with nine names, with pure and clear water and easy rapids, will be best experienced on a canoeing safari, an interesting tourist attraction organised by Čapljina based association “Tajna prirode”. THE WILDLIFE WONDER At the outset of this incredible journey, the river is slow-moving and peaceful. As one gets closer to the end, it becomes fast-flowing and exciting. During summer months, 88
the water temperature is at about 20 degrees centigrade, which makes it ideal for people sensitive to temperature variations. There is almost no age limit for participation in the safari, which makes it suitable for those looking for an adrenalin rush, just as it is for those looking for an opportunity to relax and become one with nature. Participants in the safari will get to see many species of fish and birds, and enjoy lovely waterfalls which perfectly complement the setting.
THE PRICE The price includes transportation of participants and equipment from the rendezvous point (Čapljina Train Station or “Jaz” town beach) to the starting point, equipment rental (canoes, paddles, safety vests, water-proof bags), one or more guides/skippers (depending on the size of the group) and lunch and beverages.
