You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ). As for your departure airport, there are many you can choose from within easy reach of your final stop. These are as follows:\n\nDubrovnik Ru\u0111er Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 Airport (DBV), Croatia\nTivat Airport (TIV), Montenegro\nPodgorica Airport (TGD), Montenegro\nTirana International Airport (TIA), Albania\n\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"Please try to arrive in Sarajevo before 5pm on Day 1.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"Morning or afternoon flights are recommended, depending on your chosen airport. Suggested departure times with some transfer information are as follows:\n\nTivat: book flights departing after 10am. We recommend organizing your hotel pick-up for between 2.5-3 hours before your flight. The journey time is around 30-60 minutes by bus or private transfer.\nPodgorica: book flights departing after 10am. We recommend organizing your hotel pick-up for 3 hours before your flight. The journey time is around 60-75 minutes by bus or private transfer.\nDubrovnik: book flights departing after 12pm. We recommend organizing your hotel pick-up for between 5-6 hours before your flight. The journey time is around 135-180 minutes by bus or private transfer.\nTirana: book flights departing after 12pm. We recommend organizing your hotel pick-up for between 6-6.5 hours before your flight. The journey time is around 120-180 minutes by bus or private transfer.\n\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travelers leaving at varying times. That said, your Pack Leader will happily help arrange departure transfers for you if required.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included?","answer":"Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 50 EUR\nDrivers: 30 EUR\n\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa?

It\u2019s suitable for most people with moderate fitness, even if you\u2019ve never rafted before. Just be sure your travel insurance covers rafting activities up to this grade.\nSeasonal changes to keep in mind:\n\n\nSpring (April and May): Snowmelt from the surrounding mountains raises water levels, making the rafting more intense. In rare cases, conditions can become unsafe for rafting. If that happens, we\u2019ll arrange alternative activities, so you\u2019ll still enjoy a memorable adventure.\n\nSummer (June through September): Water levels are lower, and the rapids are slightly gentler, ranging between Grade 2 and 3.\n\nRafting the Tara River is a trip highlight, but your safety always comes first \u2013 we\u2019ll only adjust plans to ensure you have the best and safest experience possible.\n"},{"question":"What's the food like?","answer":"Bosnian cuisine is heavily meat- and gluten-based, and many of the included meals \u2013 such as those on the Day 2 food tour \u2013 take place in traditional venues that specialise in a single dish, like burek, \u0107evapi or Bosnian sweets. These venues typically do not offer alternatives for gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan travelers. While the local team will always try to accommodate dietary requirements, this may mean eating separate meals in alternative, non-traditional or more westernised venues.\n"},{"question":"Will this itinerary change?","answer":"Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change.
