We Are Bear & Bicycle
Hello, we are Joe and Stacey, a British husband and wife who have travelled far and wide before settling for a more permanent base in the north of Montenegro.
In 2022 we purchased an old wooden house in Tara Canyon, the deepest canyon in Europe, which we are currently renovating ourselves.
Our vision is to create a place for people to relax and enjoy being surrounded by nature and provide opportunity for low impact activities in this wonderful region.
Sustainable & Responsible Tourism
We offer bicycle tours which have a low climate impact but provide a great healthy experience in nature.
We provide opportunities to participate in other small footprint activities such as stand up paddle boarding (SUP) and rafting on the river Tara which is only 1.5km from our base camp.
Small groups mean a better experience for you and less stress on local natural resources, our maximum cycle group size is 25.
Travel by bicycle is slower, meaning you can really take in your surroundings and support local economies that you pass through, it is also cleaner for the environment.
The Bear & Bicycle base camp is built using natural local materials, we produce and prepare food grown organically in our own garden, the water at our base camp is provided by a local spring and our cleaning materials and toiletries are eco friendly.
For the bears - For every booking that we receive we also make a donation to the ‘four paws’ animal welfare organisation who work hard to improve the situation of captive brown bears in the Balkan region and worldwide.
