Dajak boat is one of the most beautiful city symbols and riverboats. It was used for transporting goods and people when there were no other means of transport. Today, the boat is used for recreational purposes, for sightseeing, exploring river Vrbas and beautiful beaches and for charming girls.
The boat got the name dajak from the wooden pole used to move the boat. The pole is several meters long and you use it to push from the river bed. Dajak boat is up to 9 meters long and made out of wood. The front part is specially made from harder wood upon owners wishes. This is the most beautiful part of the boat and what makes it unique on the river.
This is the shortest route and the ride lasts around 45 minutes.
This route is longer and it takes around 90 minutes to complete it.
The longest route lasts up to 180 minutes. It gives you chance to explore the Vrbas, visit the beaches, coffee shops, restaurants and practice some dajak boat driving skills.
Besides being driven solely by a man’s strength (dajakaš – the man who drives the boat) and skill, the interesting things is that boat is driven downstream and upstream.
Driving the dajak boat represents a combination of adventure and fun, and beauty and art. Experienced drivers will make sure you have a great time on the river Vrbas and go home with lifelong experience and beautiful memories of Banja Luka city.
