Prokosko Lake Tour

What Prokosko Lake Tour is

Prokoško Lake is a glacial lake at 1,636 metres on Vranica mountain, ringed by the wooden huts of a summer shepherd village, and this small-group day from Sarajevo reaches it by 4x4 along the mountain track, with the Kozice waterfalls on the way. The 4x4 drive, the guided walks, Bosnian coffee, mountain tea and a traditional lunch at the huts are all included. Groups are limited to eight, with pickup from central Sarajevo hotels; the day often runs closer to seven hours.

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.

Combine it with

If Sarajevo is one stop of several, our onward trains, flights and ferries in Bosnia are on this site too - one booking conversation covers the whole route.

Coming in from the airport? 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.

What you will see and why it matters

The route is best from spring to autumn - winter access depends on the snow - and it is not suitable for guests with limited mobility. The Bosnian mountains at their quietest.

For context, 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 local guide leads the whole day, and traditional lunch, bosnian coffee and mountain tea is included. 4x4 transport, guide, lunch and drinks are included, so there is nothing to pay at any gate.

Good to know: Maximum 8; spring to autumn; not suitable for limited mobility.

What is included

• English-speaking local guide for the whole tour
• Hotel pickup in Sarajevo
• Traditional lunch, Bosnian coffee and mountain tea
• 4x4 transport, guide, lunch and drinks
• Shared air-conditioned vehicle or coach on every driven leg
• Written confirmation on WhatsApp and one Haqqi Tours contact throughout

Not included: drinks and personal spending, tips and anything listed as optional on the day.

Who this is for

It works for almost everyone: solo travellers who want company for the day, couples, groups of friends and families (child rate for ages 3–11). Expect moderate walking and a few steps; tell us about mobility needs when you book.

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.

Our team will tell you honestly if a date is likely to be crowded or if the weather calls for a change of plan.

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

Before or after, most visitors add Vrelo Bosne springs at Ilidža, the Yellow Bastion viewpoint, the Sarajevo cable car to Trebević, Vijećnica city hall and Baščaršija and the Sebilj fountain. The areas worth knowing are Ilidža near the airport, Grbavica and Novo Sarajevo, Vratnik and the yellow bastion and Bjelašnica and Jahorina mountain resorts.

Where to eat before and after

Plan a meal around it: Sarajevo: grilled trout from the Bosna river, ćevapi in a somun bread, Bosnian coffee in a copper džezva and burek from a bakery. Traditional lunch, Bosnian coffee and mountain tea is part of this tour, so the evening is yours.

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: Maximum 8; spring to autumn; not suitable for limited mobility.

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.

Booking Prokosko Lake Tour with Haqqi Tours

Booking takes one message: the date, how many of you, where you are staying. We confirm the departure in writing and send the exact instructions. Nothing is charged until you have that confirmation in hand.

We operate in Bosnia throughout the year, in English and Arabic, and every tour on this page is one our own team has checked and stands behind.
