Description
In Slovenia, there’s no limit to the amount of adventure you can have outdoors.
Hiking, canyoning, exploring caves, and rafting down rivers are just a few of the activities that await those who dare to venture into the diverse regions of this country on the sunny side of the Alps.
On this 8-day Slovenia adventure tour, you’ll experience unforgettable doses of nature, culture, and sports — the main three ingredients of an active holiday.
The holiday will take you from the capital of Ljubljana to the epic landscapes of the Julian Alps. Staying in Bled and the adventure capital Bovec, you will explore many wonders of the Triglav National Park in different ways — rafting, hiking, and canyoning in its pristine nature.
But the mountains are not the only place where an adventure in Slovenia can happen. In the vast southern forest, we will be on the lookout for the brown bear. But a hidden world waits underneath. We will delve deep into a Karst cave and a mine and explore their underground mysteries.
Adventures can also be experienced in urban environments. You’ll explore Ljubljana off the beaten path and be able to proudly say you’ve experienced Slovenia to the fullest.
Come and experience a Slovenia adventure like no other — and enjoy the unique adrenaline-pumping activities and natural beauties that await you.
