Upon arrival and accommodation, in agreement with the tour guide, a walking tour of the city and a ride by special boat. The Vrbas boat called "dayak" is a specific boat only for the Vrbas river and the city of Banjaluka, like a gondola for Venice. Over the centuries, this unusual vessel became a symbol of the city, leaving its mark on the culture of the people of Banja Luka. It was used for commercial purposes, for transporting goods from coast to coast, along the water or down the water. For navigation, a 15-kilometer long route is used, in the urban part of the city, where Vrbas is characterized by shallow depths along the banks and a suitable bottom for pushing off with a pole, after which the boat got its name.
