Canyoning · Hum
How to choose
Two options, one operator: TARASPORT runs both tours out of Hum, so the real question is time, not quality. At 110 €, the half-day Hrčavka Canyon session gets you straight into the water, no overnight logistics. At 240 €, the 3-day package stacks rafting on the Tara and Drina rivers on top of the same canyon descent, spreading the cost across three days of back-to-back adrenaline. Both sit at "Occasionally sporty" physical level, so neither demands elite fitness. If you have a single free day, lock in the half-day. If you can block three days, the 130 € difference buys you two major rivers plus the canyon, making the 3-day the sharper value per session.
