About Norin River and Neretva Valley

Norin River is far from any noise and it’s the closest you can get to the jungle-like environment in Neretva Valley. It’s perfect if you want to experience something different and enjoy in intact nature of Neretva Valley, a vast space full of wildlife and hidden places.

When we designed this tour we had numerous options and places in the valley where a tour like this could be done. Since the Neretva River is close to the city of Ploce where we used to live, we knew pretty much every part of it. The first choice for a kayaking tour in Neretva Valley was Kuti Lake which which is a place we suggest you visit when in the Neretva area. Our second choice was this tour, kayaking along the Norin River from Vid to the place where it blends with the mighty Neretva River.
 
Vid is a small town and a place where we used to start with this tour. In the past, Vid was known as Narona, a mighty Roman city, the second largest on this side of the Adriatic Sea. Split was the largest one. Nowadays the Museum of Roman Culture is situated in Vid and we suggest it as another place worth visiting when staying or visiting Neretva Delta. It just might give you answers about how was to live in these ancient times on the Norin River.
 

There is a famous local restaurant near the place where we used to start this tour. Traditional local specialties from the Neretva area include frogs and eels made in a lot of different variations so here’s something to try if you never tried it before.

Regarding the Norin River, it’s truly a wilderness and intact place. It’s a rather small and narrow river with crystal clear water. Like in the whole Neretva valley, life is abundant here. Especially when it comes to all kinds of birds which you’ll be able to easily spot when visiting the Neretva area. Apart from being crystal clear, the water of the Norin River is very cold too and if you are brave enough you can take a swim.
