Full Description
What Bijambare Cave Tour is
Bijambare is a protected forest landscape about forty kilometres north of Sarajevo, and its main cave - some four hundred metres of chambers hung with stalactites - is the highlight of this small-group nature day, which ends at the springs of the Bosna at Vrelo Bosne. A licensed guide, a professional driver, hotel pickup and drop-off and bottled water are included; cave and park entry are paid on site. You spend about an hour and twenty minutes at Bijambare and forty minutes at Vrelo Bosne.
Our Sarajevo team has kept this tour on the programme because it does the thing every visitor wants: the essential sights, in the right order, with someone who knows them. It is a shared departure, so you travel with a small group and pay a shared-vehicle price.
What you will see and why it matters
Groups are small, up to eight per booking; the cave stays cool all year, so bring a light jacket and good shoes. Children travel with an adult. Two of Sarajevo's nature parks in one day.
It sits inside the wider story of Sarajevo: Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, set in a narrow valley of the Dinaric Alps, with Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ) about 12 km south-west of the old Ottoman bazaar of Baščaršija, and the mountains of the 1984 Winter Olympics rising directly above the city.
How the day runs
We collect you from central Sarajevo hotels in the morning - the exact time is confirmed on WhatsApp the evening before. The tour lasts about 6 hours. A professional guide leads the whole day, with time set aside for a meal at your own cost. Transport, guide and water; cave and park entry on site are included, so there is nothing to pay at any gate.
Good to know: Up to 8 per booking; cool inside the cave; entry paid on site.
What is included
- Licensed guide for the whole tour
- Hotel pickup in Sarajevo
- Transport, guide and water; cave and park entry on site
- Shared air-conditioned vehicle or coach on every driven leg
- Written confirmation on WhatsApp and one Haqqi Tours contact throughout
Not included: meals and drinks, tips and anything listed as optional on the day.
Who this is for
Families first: children aged 3–11 pay the child rate, and the pace suits parents with school-age children as well as grandparents. Couples and solo travellers make up most of every group, and first-time visitors to Sarajevo get the most out of it because it covers the essentials in one go.
Best time to visit Sarajevo
Summer is warm and lively, winter is cold with snow that makes the ski resorts busy, and spring and autumn are pleasant; the airport can be fog-bound on winter mornings, which is why flight tracking matters.
For this tour specifically, book the earliest departure in summer and the mid-morning one in winter.
Getting around Sarajevo
A trolleybus and bus run from near the airport to the centre with a walk at both ends; there is no rail link, and the Ilidža-to-old-town road is simple by car in a quarter of an hour outside rush hour.
Ask us to line up your transfer or a driver for the rest of the day when you book - one conversation, one confirmation.
More to see in Sarajevo
Build the rest of the stay around Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, the Latin Bridge, the Tunnel of Hope museum, Vrelo Bosne springs at Ilidža and the Yellow Bastion viewpoint. Base yourself around Ilidža near the airport, Grbavica and Novo Sarajevo and Vratnik and the yellow bastion and everything is within easy reach.
Where to eat before and after
Food is part of the day in Sarajevo: burek from a bakery, baklava and tufahija, klepe dumplings and grilled trout from the Bosna river. There is time built into the tour for a break, and the guide will point you to the honest places rather than the tourist ones.
A practical tip from our Sarajevo team
Jahorina and Bjelašnica are mountain resorts 30-40 km from the airport - book the transfer straight to the ski hotel and we send a winter-ready vehicle.
Specific to this tour: Up to 8 per booking; cool inside the cave; entry paid on site.
Before you go: a short checklist
- Your Haqqi Tours confirmation on your phone, with the start time and meeting point
- An ID for each guest that matches the names on the booking
- Comfortable shoes and a bottle of water; sun protection from May to September
- The children's ages (child rate 3–11) - the guide may ask
- Be in the lobby five minutes early; the driver cannot wait for late guests
- Our WhatsApp number saved - one message reaches the team on the day
Prices, children and how the booking panel works
Look at the panel on this page for the price: it lists the adult rate and the child rate with the ages that qualify. Children aged 3–11 take the child rate; infants below that age are usually free where the tour allows a lap seat, and we confirm it case by case. The figure on the panel is the whole price - no service charge, no payment fee, nothing added on the day.
Group size is limited by the operator of the day - typically a coach or a minibus - and the departure runs with the number of guests who have booked; we never cancel a confirmed seat for a small group.
