Explore Experience
Enjoy Banja Luka’s golden hour with a romantic Dayak boat ride.
It’s you, your loved one, and the breeze of the Vrbas River in the heart of Banja Luka. As your guide shares local stories and the city’s history, you will embark on a journey into the Dayak’s traditions dating back to the 1930s.
In Banja Luka, the Dayak boat is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a cultural icon. These boats have long navigated the Vrbas River, transporting people and goods and providing thrilling rides and friendly competitions. Just as punts are to Cambridge and gondolas are to Venice, Dayak boats are to Banja Luka—symbolic and integral to local life.
Your hosts, Andrej and Dario Zamolo, bring this experience to life with their deep-rooted passion for the Dayak boat. They can tell you more about the Dayak tradition because it was their grandfather and father who perfected the design and style of this unique vessel. Today, the Zamolo brothers proudly continue this legacy, building Dayaks and sharing their love for the Vrbas River with everyone they meet.
The Dayak club isn’t just about preserving a cultural tradition; it’s about safeguarding the natural beauty of the Vrbas River. The club’s dedication to keeping the river free of litter has earned it a special place in the hearts of Banja Luka’s residents. This deep connection to the Vrbas is a sentiment shared by locals who spent their childhoods along its shores.
As you glide along the Vrbas River and sip on your wine, you’ll be amazed by the river’s stunning colors and the illuminated walls of the Kastel fortress. This unique vantage point offers a glimpse into Banja Luka’s timeless charm, a city cherished by its people for generations. Join the Zamolo brothers and experience the magic of the Dayak boat, a symbol of tradition, community, and the enduring beauty of the Vrbas River.
