Meeting point

Food House Mostar, Rade Bitange 12, 88104 Mostar

Your driver is usually Goran, Muamer, Adi, Dženan, Nino, or Žika — all Mostar locals who've been with us for years. English-speaking, they know the park staff at Kravica by name and are happy to take requests for photo stops or coffee breaks along the way.

Before you go

Bring a swimsuit, towel, and water shoes for the pebbled Kravica pool. Cash (BAM or EUR) for lunch and drinks at the falls — cards rarely work on site — plus roughly 20 KM (€10) per person for the Kravica Nature Park entry ticket, also cash only. In July and August, add a hat and sunscreen — the walk down to the pool is fully exposed.

What tends to happen on this route

In peak summer (late June through August), the main pool at Kravica gets much busier from late morning onwards — arriving before 11:30 usually means more space in the water and easier spots for photos. In the shoulder months (May, September, early October) it's visibly quieter and the light is better for photography; the water is still swimmable, just cooler.

Počitelj on the return picks up travellers looking for pomegranate juice in September and October — the roadside stands are worth the short pause. In winter (November through March) swimming isn't advised; the waterfall is still dramatic but the stop shifts toward viewing rather than swimming.

If the weather changes on your day

Light rain almost never stops the tour — Kravica is still dramatic in rain, and the drive works. In serious storm conditions, or in the rare case that Kravica is closed, we adjust the day toward a longer Bunski Kanali walk, Počitelj, and a Fortica viewpoint stop in place of the swim.

If that doesn't match what you wanted, we move you to the next dry day at no charge. We decide morning-of and WhatsApp you by 07:30 — so you're never sitting at the meeting point wondering what's happening.

Who this tour is for

Couples, families with kids 6+, solo travelers and small groups staying in Mostar. Not a fit if you need barrier-free accessibility — the path down to the Kravica pool is steep in places.

FAQ

Is the entrance fee included in the tour price?

No — the Kravice Waterfalls entrance fee is paid directly at the site and is not included in your tour price. The fee is set by the local authority and changes seasonally. Your driver will advise you on the current amount before arrival.

Can you swim at Kravice Waterfalls?

Yes — swimming is the main attraction. The pool beneath the waterfall is safe and refreshing in summer. The best swimming season is June to September when water levels and temperatures are ideal. In spring the falls are more powerful but swimming areas may be restricted.

What is the best time of year to visit Kravice Waterfalls?

June to August is peak season — warm water, sunny skies, and full flow. May and September are quieter with cooler but still pleasant conditions. Winter visits are possible and the falls are dramatic, but swimming is not an option. Crowds are heaviest in July and August.

What should I bring to Kravice Waterfalls?

Swimwear and a towel if you plan to swim. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals. Sunscreen and water. Cash for the entrance fee and any food or drinks at the site. A waterproof bag or case for your phone if you plan to go near the water.

What is the difference between private and shared tours?

A private tour means the vehicle is exclusively yours — you set the pace, choose your pickup time, and can make extra stops. A shared tour has a fixed departure time and you share the vehicle with other travellers. Private is recommended for families, couples, and anyone who wants flexibility.

How do I book a tour?
