Additional Information

Are you a fan of pristine lakes and untouched natural beauty? If so, this is the journey for you! 

Experience the enchanting alpine lakes of Bled and Bohinj on a day trip, revealing the alluring aspects of Slovenia’s Alpine region. Combining a stroll around Lake Bled with a traditional “pletna” boat ride to tiny Bled Island allows you to appreciate the stunning landscape and the urban aura. Take in the sight of the Bled Castle, precariously perched on a cliff above the lake, and once on top, indulge in Slovenia’s renowned dessert, the “Kremsnita” (vanilla cream cake) or the delicious ‘potica’ nut cake while sipping a cup of coffee. Be captivated by the splendour of Vintgar Gorge, where a timber trail escorts you through an alluring gorge, with the energetic Radovna River and striking vertical rock formations. In Bohinj, be enveloped by towering mountains reflecting off the Bohinj lake and get a taste of the serene rhythm of life in small alpine villages like Ribicev Laz and Ukanc. 

This day expedition brings you to Lake Bled, a hot favourite amongst visitors to Slovenia. Be enthralled by panoramic views of the lake from Bled castle, one of Slovenia’s ancient fortresses, and from the conventional ‘pletna’ boat, your transport to the scenic island in Lake Bled. Close to Bled lies the Pokljuka plateau, housing stunning forests that form part of the Triglav National Park, which extends all the way to Bohinj Lake, concealed in the core of the Julian Alps. Pokljuka is also recognized for its Biathlon Centre, winter training ground for some of our top athletes. Wander around Bohinj Lake to understand why Slovenians consider it the treasure of the Julian Alps. Bohinj, the largest and most attractive alpine lake in Slovenia, is hailed as the most beautiful location in the country. A hub for eco- tourism and outdoor adventures, situated in Triglav National Park, Bohinj will leave you awestruck with its pure beauty, tranquillity, and a resolve to revisit.   

You’ll also explore the Bled Vintgar Gorge, deeply incised into the limestone by the Radovna River. Follow a 1.6 km pathway teeming with bridges and galleries, providing dynamic views of the impressive gorge scenery.

An incredible experience - We booked this tour as we wanted to visit more of Slovenia and it's national park. We had one of the best tour experiences we've ever had. Each stop was equally as stunning as the others. Our tour guide Tomasz is a credit to the company as he was so informative, friendly and fun and made our day a special experience. For anyone visiting Slovenia this tour is a 100% must. As we were out for 10 hours in total the tour is excellent value for money.

Impressive natural beauties well guided - Lake Bled is a true gem including a boat visit to the church-island and Bled Castle from whose towers you have a beautiful view of the lake. The Vingrad Gorge is a first-class trail that for a kilometer and a half offers exceptional contact with nature next to a beautiful stream. The same can be said of Lake Bohinj, whose conservation turns the area into a jewel of pristine beauty. The guide is very professional and capable as well as friendly.

The tour was nice and... - The tour was nice and beautiful and our guide was very kind. But, I think it's a little overpriced for the value you get. Nothing is included in the ticket, so I would suggest it's much more comfortable to rent a car and to discover the area at your own pace.
