    Any opportunities we could swim were a highlight for me. I will never forget jumping off the boat in Skadar Lake, or swimming in the sea in Dubrovnik. Our guide Danijela was excellent at letting us know when there would be opportunities to swim!

    In ten days we had a wide range of amazing experiences in a variety of settings - boat trip to the islands in Kotor, boat trip on Skadar Lake. The trip to the eco village in the mountains is interesting but unfortunately we had torrential rain The cable car ride in Sarajevo gives spectacular views. Mostar is a fascinating and beautiful city
