Choose how your day is going to unfold. In the morning you can decide between hiking in Vintgar Gorge*, cycling, horse riding or paddle boarding. If you want some relaxation and entertainment for the young, you can opt for a morning at a local wellness center with pools and a waterslide for the children.

The afternoon will be reserved for more adrenaline activities and you can choose between kayaking, ziplining, a visit to the adventure park or summer sledding on the nearby hill. We also have an evening option of wine tasting for the parents and escorted mini golf for the children.

Vintgar Gorge

On this day we will head to the area of Lake Bohinj, a popular active destination for families and people who love the outdoors. Here you can choose between cycling, a cable car lift to Vogel mountain or hiking in a nearby valley with a gorge.

Lake Bohinj is a beautiful place with trails and swimming areas along the lake shore, so you never really run out of options. In the afternoon, you can choose to go canyoning, an adventure with hiking, sliding, abseiling and jumping into natural pools, while experienced guides make sure it is completely safe.

Depart from Bled for a change of scenery and head to the Slovenian coast. Get you and your family settled in the most popular town on the Slovenian Rivera, Portorož, with numerous shops, restaurants, and activity options.

After check-in, head to nearby Piran, the most picturesque medieval town on a small peninsula and see all its main attractions, meander the small colorful streets and learn about its history and legends. Enjoy some free time with a stroll or a swim on the town’s beachfront and get used to the Mediterranean pace of life.

The Slovenian coast offers some nice cycling paths, which you can choose to enjoy for a few hours before lunchtime or enjoy some downtime on the beach. You can opt to visit a nearby fish farm and the traditional salt flats, all located inside a nature reserve, on a guided paddleboard or kayaking tour if you wish to stay active. If you prefer to leave activities to the kids, you can enjoy a special spa in the salt pans, which uses seawater and natural mud for its treatments.

Family holidays by the sea

The magic of this tour is that you really create your own itinerary. On this day, you will be able to choose between three different experiences. You can opt to leave the coast for the karst region and visit Postojna Cave, the most popular attraction in Slovenia. With its underground train ride, remarkable cave structures and stories of dragons, it makes for a perfect spot that the whole family will enjoy.

We will also stop in Predjama Castle, an architectural marvel built into a rock cliff, located very close to Postojna. If you are interested in local traditions and food, you can join a vintage gourmet tour that includes a drive through the coastal countryside in vintage vans, a visit to olive groves, and an olive oil press with tasting and traditional lunch. Your third option is to embark on a boat tour and get to experience the Slovenian coast from a completely different perspective.

Important:

The temperature in the cave is 10C, so make sure you are dressed properly.

Leave the coast, and before heading to Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital, embark on a unique experience and visit an authentic Slovenian farm, where your whole family will help and try out different farming activities, such as collecting eggs, peeling corn, making bread and working the fields. An exciting way to get introduced to where our food comes from and experience a day in the life of a farmer.

After checking in at your Ljubljana accommodation, you can choose a wine tasting for the parents and an escorted visit to the Museum of Illusions for children or you can enjoy a cooking class all together, learn how to prepare traditional Slovenian dishes, and feast on the fruit of your labor.

On the last day of your holiday, you can opt for the Ljubljana Bike Tour, a great active way to see not only the city center and the old town but also surrounding attractions and the green areas of this vibrant city.
