Next, you head to Blagaj Tekke, a cliff-side Dervish monastery perched above the river Buna. This site is not just visually stunning but also steeped in spiritual history. You get a guided tour, which helps bring the monastery’s Ottoman-era architecture and significance to life. Afterwards, there’s free time to sip coffee by the spring or explore the nearby art stalls. According to reviews, this stop is a peaceful highlight, with one traveler calling it “very nice and peaceful.”
Poitelj: Medieval Charm and Panoramic Views
After a scenic drive, you’ll discover Poitelj, a town with origins dating back to the 15th century. Climbing its stone lanes and fortress yields panoramic views that are well worth the effort. Here, you can browse local art and imagine life centuries ago. Reviewers mention it as a “very nice and peaceful” spot, offering a break from busier tourist sites.
Kravica Waterfalls: Nature’s Spectacle & Refreshing Break
This is undoubtedly one of the main highlights. Kravica Waterfalls are a stunning cascade of water set in a lush green landscape. Depending on the season, you’ll have time to swim (May to September, weather permitting) or simply relax on the boardwalks. The included lunch voucher at Food House Mostar makes sure you’re well-fed afterward—local Bosnian dishes with vegan and gluten-free options. Reviewers rave about Kravica, describing it as “stunning” and “relaxing,” with one noting they even swam and sunbathed for hours.

A brief stop at Bunski Kanali allows for photos of the Buna River’s turquoise waters meeting the Neretva. The arched bridge adds a picturesque touch to your album. It’s a quick but charming stop appreciated by those who love river scenery.
Fortica Skywalk: A Thrilling Viewpoint
Next, you’ll walk onto the Skywalk, a glass platform suspended 350 meters above the Neretva Valley. We loved the way this offers a nearly 360-degree view of Mostar and the surrounding hills. It’s an exhilarating experience that offers fantastic photographic opportunities, with many describing the view as “amazing.” The guide will point out key landmarks, making it a perfect spot for panoramic shots.
The Cold-War Jet Tunnel: A Hidden Piece of History
For something a bit different, the tour includes a walk through a Cold-War jet tunnel—a safe, guide-led exploration of underground aircraft shelters carved into the mountains. It’s a rare glimpse into Yugoslav military history, and the guide will share stories of how pilots used this secret base during tense times. Reviewers find this a unique and “very different” experience, adding depth to your understanding of the region.
Returning to Mostar
The day wraps up with a scenic drive back, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel. The overall experience combines physical activity, cultural insights, and scenic beauty—all in one well-organized package.
