About this trip
Get ready for an unforgettable 8-day escape where sparkling coastlines, rugged mountain peaks, ancient towns, and gourmet delights come together in one dazzling journey across Croatia and Montenegro.
Starting in the storybook streets of Dubrovnik, we’ll paddle beneath medieval walls before venturing inland to the wild beauty of Durmitor National Park. Think easy hikes to shimmering glacial lakes, horseback rides through UNESCO landscapes, and cozy chalet nights under the stars. Adrenaline seekers will love rafting the turquoise waters of the Tara River Canyon, while history buffs will soak up the serenity of ancient monasteries tucked in lush valleys.
From there, the adventure slows to a dreamy pace: scenic e-bike rides through vineyards, private boat cruises across Lake Skadar, olive oil tastings among thousand-year-old groves, and decadent meals served in hilltop fortresses. Luxe seaside stays in Sv. Stefan and Kotor let you live out your Adriatic yacht dreams — speedboat arrivals included.
We’ll finish our journey with a sweeping cable car ride and epic downhill bike adventure, taking in Montenegro’s breathtaking fjord-like Bay of Kotor from every angle. With exclusive boutique accommodations, hand-picked local experiences, and plenty of time to sip, savor, and soak it all in — this trip offers the perfect blend of soft adventure, relaxation, and feminine luxury.
Adventure, indulgence, connection, and discovery — this is Montenegro, the Chicas way.
This women-only experience is limited to 12 Chicas, so don’t miss out! And don’t worry – we offer flexible payment plans to make this incredible trip fit your budget. Keep reading for the full itinerary, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Important Notes
Activity Level – Moderate
This trip is designed for active women who love a mix of soft adventure and relaxation. Activities include easy hikes, beginner-friendly kayaking and rafting, leisurely e-biking, and optional horseback riding — all at a pace that’s adventurous but never extreme. Expect light to moderate physical activity most days, with plenty of time built in for rest, spa visits, and gourmet indulgences. No technical experience needed — just a spirit for fun and exploration!
Weather
Early October is one of the best times to visit Croatia and Montenegro — the summer crowds have faded, but the weather is still beautifully pleasant. Along the coast (Dubrovnik, Kotor Bay, Sv. Stefan), you can expect warm, sunny days with highs around 70–75°F (21–24°C) and comfortably cool evenings, perfect for seaside dining and strolls. In the mountains (Durmitor National Park and around Tara Canyon), the air is crisp and fresh, with daytime highs around 55–65°F (13–18°C) and cooler nights dipping into the 40s°F (5–10°C) — ideal for cozying up in your chalet. Occasional light rain is possible, so a light jacket and layers are recommended, but overall, the vibe is bright, golden, and refreshingly mild — perfect for outdoor adventures and unwinding by the sea.
