Vrbas Camp (Banja Luka)
A rafting basecamp in the Vrbas canyon south of Banja Luka — bungalows and pitches with rafting and kayak trips on the doorstep.
Tucked into the Vrbas canyon about 17 km upstream of Banja Luka, this riverside camp is built around the white water. Stay in a bungalow or pitch a tent, eat by the river, and put straight into a rafting trip or kayak safari from camp — the classic two- or three-day package wakes you on the Vrbas and sends you down it. Consistently one of the highest-rated camps in the country.
Why go
- In the Vrbas canyon, ~17 km from Banja Luka
- Camping pitches and riverside bungalows
- Rafting and kayak safaris from camp
- Half-board packages with the river trip included
Book the rafting-plus-stay package rather than a day trip — you skip the morning transfer and put in just steps from your tent.
