Heard about Montenegro's stunning coast?
Please sign the petition to save Montenegro's Buljarica. It's one of the last wild sections of beach backed by marshes. Utterly beautiful and home to countless species.

Right where Montenegro and Albania collide, there’s a corner of Lake Skadar so peaceful it feels like the world has stopped. Paddling here last week was special. Not only was it our last kayaking adventure of the season, but the lake was unbelievably still, like a mirror reflecting the sky. 💙

This week, one of our Montenegro tours took an unexpected turn when the group came across a lost dog with an injured paw. Thanks to quick teamwork, he’s now received vet care and will hopefully be reunited with his owner soon. 🐶
