Swim at Kravice Waterfalls and walk through a preserved hilltop village

This half-day tour from Mostar takes you to Kravice Waterfalls, where you get 3 hours of free time to swim, wade, explore the pools or sit at the cafés. The drive there takes about an hour through the countryside, and on the way back you stop for 20 minutes in Počitelj, a living museum village perched on a hillside with panoramic views. A local guide and driver handle the transport in an air-conditioned vehicle; you choose your own pace at the waterfall itself.

The Experience

Kravice Waterfalls sits in a limestone amphitheater fed by underground springs, creating pools deep enough to swim in and shallow enough to wade. The site is called an oasis in stone, and it ranks among the top three swimming spots in Bosnia and Herzegovina. You arrive with 3 hours to spend however you want—some people swim the whole time, others float between the pools and the small cafés on the banks, and some just sit and watch the water. There's no fixed itinerary once you're there, which is why this tour gives you more free time than the alternatives.

The drive from Mostar takes roughly an hour through the countryside, and you return via Počitelj, a medieval village built into a hillside with stone houses, narrow streets and views across the valley. The photo stop lasts about 20 minutes—enough to walk around, take pictures and see why it's called a living museum. Tours depart at 9:00, 9:30, 10:00 or 10:30, which means you can catch the afternoon train to Sarajevo if that's your next stop. Drop-off is flexible: the bus station, your starting point, or the Old Town, depending on where you need to be.

The tour runs in all weather. Entrance to the Kravice Waterfall resort is optional and costs 10 EUR per person if you choose it at checkout; food, drinks and tips are on you. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap. The pace is easy—you're not hiking or climbing, just moving between pools and cafés—but the day involves some walking on uneven ground and time in the water.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to spend most of your time in the water rather than listening to a guide—the 3 hours of free time at Kravice is longer than other departures offer, and the flexible schedule lets you catch the afternoon train to Sarajevo if that's your next move.
