If you’re eyeing a full day of exploring Montenegro’s lush forests, mountain peaks, and charming towns, the Montenegro: The Ring of Bjelasica Jeep Safari offers a well-rounded, scenic adventure. This tour promises a taste of the country’s diverse landscapes, from serene lakes to historic sites — all accessible via a comfortable, private vehicle and an exhilarating jeep safari.

What we really like about this experience is how it combines nature, culture, and local flavors into one day. The guiding team is praised for their knowledge and friendliness, helping you make sense of what you see and feel. And, of course, the stunning views — especially from viewpoints like Biogradsko Lake — are the kind of sights that stay with you long after the trip ends.

That said, a possible consideration is the long day — at around 10 hours, it’s full-on, which might be tiring for some. It’s also worth noting that while the tour includes many fantastic stops, it’s largely driven by a set itinerary, so if you prefer a very flexible experience, this might feel a bit structured.

This tour suits travelers who love outdoor adventures, breathtaking scenery, and cultural sights in a single day. If you’re keen on seeing Montenegro’s best natural spots without the hassle of planning, this could be a strong choice.

Exploring Montenegro’s Diverse Landscapes

The Ring of Bjelasica Jeep Safari is designed to take you on a journey through some of Montenegro’s most picturesque areas. The day kicks off with a scenic drive along the Moraa river canyon, also called Platije — a landscape that’s as dramatic as it is peaceful. We loved the way the winding river and lush greenery create a perfect backdrop for photos, and taking a pause here to snap pictures is a definite highlight.

Once in Kolain, the adventure shifts into high gear with a jeep safari that takes you to the peaks, lakes, and quaint villages. The fact that the safari is guided in English means you’ll gain insights into the local landscape and history, which adds depth to the experience. The views from the mountain altitudes of 1450m and 1600m are especially memorable, offering a panoramic perspective on the surrounding mountains and forests.

The Scenic Highlights: From Viewpoints to Lakes

One of the most spectacular parts of the tour is the series of viewpoints around Biogradsko Lake. We loved the way the guide narrated from Bendovac or Peia Lake vantage points, where you feel like you’re floating above the treetops. From Iko Lake to Zekova glava, each stop offers unique angles to appreciate the landscape.

The Biogradska Gora National Park is a major draw, with its rainforest and diverse flora. The walk around Biogradsko Lake is leisurely but rewarding, allowing you to soak in the tranquility of this ancient forest. Many reviews highlight how pristine and untouched this area feels, a real highlight for nature lovers.

Authentic Montenegrin Cuisine and Cultural Sights

Lunchtime is at a local household in Lalevia Dolovi, where you’ll be served traditional homemade dishes. Guests have raved about the quality and authenticity of the food, which is a great way to connect with local culture. It’s a welcome break from the active morning, offering a chance to rest and refuel.

After lunch, the tour continues with more sightseeing around the lake and the surrounding mountain scenery. In the afternoon, a visit to Moraa Monastery offers a peaceful moment and a glimpse into Montenegro’s spiritual heritage. The story about the monastery being built from yellow stone passed hand-to-hand adds a touch of history that many find fascinating.

Practical Details and Value

The tour includes modern, air-conditioned vehicles, all road expenses and parking fees, and tickets to the national park and monastery, making it a hassle-free experience. The lunch, guide, and insurance are all covered, giving good value for the price.

The small group setting and personalized guide mean you’ll get attention and tailored insights, which many travelers appreciate. The tour’s duration of about 10 hours is significant but well-paced, with plenty of opportunities for photos and rest.
