Montenegro family activity vacation

Planet

Montenegro is a real hidden gem in our eyes. All members of our team who have visited this destination have fallen in love with its spectacular landscapes and of course we want to ensure that we leave no trace during our vacations and preserve this very special place.

Throughout each and every one of our activities, the guides will operate a leave no trace policy, ensuring destinations and locations are left as we find them. Our vacation enters the delights of the Durmitor National Park and the stunning Tara Canyon and they will ensure that all visitors respect these amazing natural environments.

All of our transfers are shared where possible and this therefore limits the traffic and air pollution impact of the vacation.

The guides we use (as mentioned later) are local and hugely informed on the region and will impart their knowledge with the group which provides a greater insight into life in Montenegro.

The hotels we use are both conscious of their environmental responsibility and therefore ensure that waste is managed and recycling is maximised.

People

All of the guides we work with are local and the accommodation provided is locally owned and operated. This means that the money our guests spend on their vacation directly benefits the local people. In turn, in the more remote areas, this means that work is provided for local young people who may otherwise have had to leave the regions in search of employment elsewhere.

The hotel we use in Kotor is located a short distance from the Old Town which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site itself and so gives an immediate understanding of the history and culture of the town.

Guests will try local produce throughout their vacation and this is beneficial not only for our families but for the local economy, as it improves the tourism multiplier effect in the local economy. For example, the restaurant at the Polar Star serves some excellent traditional dishes.

The use of local guides also means that our families gain a greater understanding of the region, life in Montenegro and benefit from experiencing local cuisines and specialties. It adds a huge amount to any vacation and our guests always love feeling a greater connection to the destinations they visit.
