Adventure Holidays Slovenia

What better place to start your adventure holiday than the most popular place in Slovenia, Lake Bled? Get settled at your accommodation, change into your sports equipment and explore the lake on a paddle board. Stop at Bled island and take in all the panoramic views of the area and perhaps treat yourself to some amazing gelato. Finish the day with an evening hike to Osojnica Hill, a marvelous lookout spot with some of the best views of Lake Bled.

Island on Lake Bled

For early risers, we have the option of waking up before dawn and hiking up a small hill called Ojstrica to get a great view of sunrise above Lake Bled. We return in time for breakfast and some downtime before heading to the area of Lake Bohinj. Enjoy the thrills of canyoning in a nearby canyon, abseiling, tobogganing, and jumping down the cool stream.

After a lunch break, we will kayak across Lake Bohinj and onto the Sava River for some more water fun. The rest of the afternoon will be spent more leisurely around Lake Bohinj, but if you still prefer to stay active, there is a trail around the lake, as well as the possibility of bike hire to explore the area further.

Important:

Bring a swimsuit and towel for canyoning and kayaking.

Start the day by driving up the spectacular road leading over the Vršič Pass and taking in the amazing scenery of the Julian Alps with numerous photo stops. Continue to the valley of the emerald Soča River, where we will stop for some light hiking, before reaching Bovec, the adrenaline capital of Slovenia and your home for a couple of days.

After a lunch break, it will be time to get back into the harness, quite literally, and head to the mountains above the resort, where a series of steel cables promise great thrills and spectacular views as you zipline across the valley. To finish the day off, we will explore the area around Bovec on foot and visit the nearby Virje Waterfall.

Take the morning off, sleep in or enjoy the area of Bovec and fill up with energy for the afternoon. We will gear you up for an exciting adventure of white water rafting down the Soča River, the best way to really experience this alpine jewel. To finish your holiday on a high note, we will continue the day with an exciting drive up the highest road in Slovenia the Mangart Pass at about 2,000 m (6500 ft) elevation, where you will really feel like you are at the top of the world.

The valley of the Soča River has numerous magnificent natural attractions and as we leave Bovec, we will head south to Kobarid to hike to the amazing Kozjak Waterfall and then further to Tolmin Gorge. In the afternoon, we will make our way back to Ljubljana, where you will have some time off for leisure.

The underground world of the Slovenian Karst is not to be missed! But forget about the leisurely stroll through a lit-up cave and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the caverns below in full caving equipment, paddling across underground waters like the first explorers.

The rest of the day will be spent above ground in pristine Slovenian forests looking for an encounter with the brown bear in its natural habitat. Don’t worry, it will be done from a safe lookout with an expert guide, but thrilling nonetheless!

Normally you don’t associate mines with adventure, but that is about to change. We will head north to a town called Mežica, once a famous mining town with a flooded lead and zinc mine, which we will explore by kayak for a truly unique experience.

After all the hard work, you will be treated to a hearty miner’s lunch for an immersive finish to your underground adventure. On our way back, we will stop in Logar Valley, one of the most picturesque valleys in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

Finish your adventure holiday by exploring Ljubljana, Slovenia’s lively capital, on two wheels. Visit all the main attractions in the center and broaden your horizons as the tour will take you further afield, to green parts of the city and some attractions, easily missed on regular tours.
