Mostar & Kravice Waterfalls Day Tour
A single day that carries centuries of history and the rush of living water
The Mostar and Kravice Waterfalls tour brings together two of Herzegovina's most celebrated destinations in one carefully paced, full-day journey that suits travellers of all fitness levels.
Mostar's Old Bridge — originally built in the 16th century — stands as one of the most recognised Ottoman structures in the Balkans. Local divers still leap from its stone arch into the cold Neretva River, a tradition that has drawn onlookers for generations.
The town's architectural fabric reflects a layered coexistence: mosques, Catholic churches, Orthodox temples, and synagogues occupy the same narrow streets, representing more than four centuries of shared life among Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs.
The second half of the day leads to the Kravice Waterfalls, a broad cascade on the Trebizat River surrounded by lush karst landscape. Visitors can swim in the natural pool during summer months, making this a genuinely refreshing finale to the day.
Tour Highlights
Walk across the 16th-century Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar's UNESCO-listed Old Town.
Witness traditional bridge divers leap into the Neretva River at Mostar.
Explore streets where mosques, churches, and synagogues stand side by side as symbols of cultural tolerance.
Visit the stunning Kravice Waterfalls set within a green karst amphitheatre on the Trebizat River.
Optional stop at Medjugorje, one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites in Europe.
Guided insights into four centuries of Herzegovinian history, architecture, and multicultural heritage.
