Question 1

What's not included?

Accepted Answer

The price does not include flight tickets, riding gear (see below), or any travel or medical insurance.

Question 2

What equipment do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

You will need to bring your own protective enduro gear, including:
   - Helmet 
   - Goggles (we recommend bringing both clear and dark lenses)
   - Gloves (if riding in colder weather, bring one spare)
   - Enduro boots
   - Jacket/body protection
   - Hydration pack is highly recommended!
   - Backpack

Question 3

Where can I get insurance for this trip?

Accepted Answer

There are two main insurance companies (that I know of) which will provide travel and medical cover for offroad riding abroad: Voyager Insurance and Global Rescue. Make sure you have medical insurance which covers riding motorbikes offroad.

I will ask for proof of insurance when you arrive before taking you on any trails!

Question 4

Can I bring my own bike?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! Just let me know when booking that that's what you're planning to do and we'll subtract our bike rental fee from the final price.

Question 5

What's your maximum group size?

Accepted Answer

I can take a maximum of 4 people in a group.

Question 6

What are the trails like? How much experience do I need?

Accepted Answer

The routes can be rocky, mountainous trails, forest roads, twisty tarmac - or all of the above! You absolutely do need a motorcycle driving licence (we do also drive on roads to get to the trails) and some riding experience is required. I can adjust the routes we ride though according to your preferences, the group's skill level and, of course, the weather.

Question 7

I'm vegetarian/vegan/lactose intolerant, can you accommodate me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, just let me know about dietary requirements once you've booked.

Question 8

When is the best time to visit?

Accepted Answer

I am flexible, but I would recommend the spring/early summer (Mar-Jun) or the autumn (Sep-Oct). Just note that in March-April there can still be snow up in the mountains, so some roads will not be rideable.

Peak tourist season in Montenegro is in July and August, when the coast (and the roads!) get extremely busy. It also gets very hot at that time (32 degrees plus on most days) which can be challenging in full gear and therefore requires early starts. But they're still an option (and good if you want to also get some beach time in!)

Question 9

Is Montenegro a safe country to visit?

Accepted Answer

In short - yes. While some of you may remember the Yugoslavian civil wars in the 1990s, Montenegro saw far less conflict than its neighbours, and nowadays is known for its friendly, hospitable people who are always keen to share a rakija or two with visitors!

Question 10

Do I need any special vaccines to visit Montenegro?

Accepted Answer

There are no mandatory vaccines for those coming from the UK

Question 11

What language do they speak in Montenegro? How will I communicate?

Accepted Answer

The official language of Montenegro is Montenegrin. It's a Slavic language that's part of the so-called BCMS group of languages - Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian - which is also known as Serbo-Croat.

I speak Serbo-Croat fluently (as well as English, Bulgarian and Russian), so you don't need to worry about this at all. In addition, many people, especially in the touristy coastal areas, also speak good English.
