Montenegro, may 4-11 2027

Into the Wild Montenegro feels like one of Europe’s best-kept secrets, and we would LOVE it if you would join this trip.  In one week, you will wander medieval coastal towns, hike mountain landscapes that feel untouched, move across quiet lakes surrounded by dramatic peaks, and end the day with incredible food and wine.  It’s the kind of place that surprises people at every turn. You need this trip!

At Into the Wild Adventure, we’re drawn to destinations that still feel authentic, adventurous, and a little undiscovered. Montenegro is exactly that. It offers beauty and culture without the overwhelming crowds, especially in May. One day you’l be climbing ancient fortress walls above the Bay of Kotor, the next you’re driving through rugged mountain passes in Durmitor National Park or boating through the peaceful waterways of Lake Skadar.

This trip is designed for women who love to experience a destination fully. We’ll hike, explore historic towns, take scenic drives through dramatic landscapes, eat incredible local food, visit wineries, spend time on the water, and discover corners of Montenegro most travelers never see. There’s a balance of adventure and downtime throughout the week, with enough activity to feel energized and enough space to truly enjoy where you are.

From May 4–11, 2027, we’ll explore the very best of Montenegro together, from the coastal beauty of Kotor and Perast to the wild landscapes of northern Montenegro. If you’re looking for a trip that feels adventurous, scenic, active, and refreshingly different from the typical European itinerary, this is it. This trip is $2699 for 7 nights.

All lodging, food, and transportation during the retreat is included, and on this trip, you can choose to pay an extra $800 for your own room, or take on a new friend as a roomie (or bring your own!). You just need to get yourself to Tivat Airport and back home again!
