About Via Neretva

Via Neretva is a small booking company in Konjic, on the river it's named after. We sell three rafting trips, publish what each one costs, and a licensed local operator runs your day on the water.

Who's behind it

I'm Ermin, and I live in Konjic.

For a season I did all of this by hand. Messages came in from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, all asking roughly the same four things: what does it cost, can we come on Saturday, how do we get there without a car, and who will we actually be with. I'd check who had a boat free that morning, write back, and hope the person was still interested by the time I did.

Plenty weren't. Somebody planning a trip from Berlin in February doesn't wait two days to find out a price.

Via Neretva is that same answer, written down in advance and bookable at two in the morning.

What we do, and what we don't

We sell the trip and take the booking. A licensed rafting operator from Konjic runs it — their skippers, their boats, their gear, their safety briefing.

We don't own boats and we don't run trips ourselves. We're not trying to be a list of fifteen operators for you to compare and guess between. There are three trips. Each one tells you the river section, the hours on the water, what's included, and the price.

What you pay

The price you see is per person and it's the whole cost of the trip. You pay 20% by card to book and the rest at the base on the day.

Nothing is added at the river. There's no booking fee at checkout, and no separate charge for gear, a skipper, or lunch — those are in the price on the page.

If you cancel more than 24 hours before departure, the deposit comes back in full.

About the numbers on this site

We don't show a star rating or a review count. Via Neretva is new and hasn't earned one yet, and a number we borrowed from somewhere else would tell you nothing about your trip.

The operators we book with have been running this river for years and have their own reviews. You'll get the name of yours when your booking is confirmed, and you're welcome to look them up before you travel.
