Main Info
The Highlights Slovenia tour does indeed have to cover a lot of areas to show you our favorites. The diversity we’re about to show you on this trip will leave you in awe. Starting with the capital town of Ljubljana, we slowly but steadily get introduced to the Slovenian ways. Our first two stops are the famous Bled and Bohinj lakes, where we will be on boats and bicycles during our exploration.
The journey takes us further north as we approach the Julian Alps where Triglav mountain resides. Dramatically close to it, the emerald green Soča river is waiting for us in its valley. Whitewater rafting in Slovenia will be something new for your bucket list, trust us.
Before our return to the capital, we will be cycling in Goriška Brda and Vipava valley, two of the most scenic cycling areas of Slovenia. Rest assured, we won’t miss the coastline on this expedition. Join us in Piran bay for a leisure stroll down the coastline and a cup of coffee at the main square.
Highlights Slovenia is a wonderful expedition here to show you the perfect combination of everything Slovenia has. From activities and nature to gastronomy and sights. We recommend it for families, couples and groups of friends. Welcome to Slovenia.

Itinerary
As you fly in, we will transfer you back to your accommodation in Ljubljana. Later in the afternoon, you will join us for a guided walking tour around the city. The evening is reserved for our welcome dinner where we will discuss the details of our journey.
The first ride out of Ljubljana will take you to the magnificent Bled lake. We will be walking around the lake, enjoy the scenery and see where the day takes us. You can go for a boat ride to the only island in Slovenia. You can also hike up to a beautiful viewpoint to enjoy the view of the entire Bled lake area. The rest of the day belongs to you.
Today, we're off to another lake. This one, despite being less popular than the Bled lake, is as beautiful. Maybe even more beautiful, Bohinj lake will take your breath away. Untouched nature and being right next to the Triglav national park are the key reasons for you to love this masterpiece by Mother Nature. Before we sit down for lunch, we will hike to a hidden waterfall. Upon our return to Ljubljana, you will have your free time.
Get your hiking boots on, today you meet the Julian Alps. Our main hiking routes will go through the Vršič pass and Soča river valley. Lunch will be a picnic one, but with a better view than any restaurant. For the afternoon, we recommend some downtime and saving energy for our next day.
Today, we meet with the Soča river once again. With different gear on this time. Your whitewater rafting adventure on the Soča river will get you up close with some of the most spectacular parts of the river and its surrounding area. As we return to our starting point, traditional lunch will be served. Rest of the day, we can browse through your favorite pictures of the day.
Did you pack your biking shorts for the trip? We will need you to put those on for today's cycling route. Allow us to present to you the winemaking region of Goriška Brda. Resembling Italy, this area will impress you with every step we take. Join us in a local winery for some wine tasting paired with the local food delicacies. If you feel like you're in Italy, you're not so far from the truth. To be more precise, you're one kilometer away from it because that's how far away Italy actually is.
another day of cycling in front of us, but this time on the Slovenian coastline – welcome to the Piran bay
Cycling yesterday, cycling today. A bit of a different scenery today, though. Welcome to Piran bay, the picturesque coastal area of Slovenia, right on the Adriatic sea. We will go for an easy cycling route, hugging the coastline and casually exploring the small towns. We can stop in an open-air art gallery/museum of the salt production history of this area. We will definitely stop for lunch in Piran before we continue with our exploration of the area. In the evening, over our farewell dinner, we can start planning our next adventure together.
The transit day is our least favorite day. Still, we need to get you back home. We'll transfer you safely to the Ljubljana airport and wish you safe travels. Thank you for traveling with us, friends.
