Family Adventure Holiday in Slovenia 
Duration: 11 days
Set in the heart of Europe, Slovenia is a hugely varied country with high Alps, lowlands, vineyards, Carst and coastal regions, to name just a few!
This trip focuses on a very western part of Slovenia just next to Italy: Here you will find an unspoilt valley with turquoise blue river Soca, surrounded almost completely with high peaks, amazing gorges and green forests. This is a perfect destination for activity holidays where you will experience nature at its best...
You only need to bring swimming trunks, towel and a big smile, and who knows, maybe we'll discover a new future world champion in white water kayaking...?
Tolmin is the town we are based in. It's a small destination just on the outskirts of the Alps with a population of no more than 4000 people. It is in the centre of the valley with all the services you will need during your stay including a daily market with home made farm products.
Our accommodation is either Pension Kobala, which is ideally situated close to Tolmin in the picturesque village of Poljubinj, with a range of comfortably sized bedrooms. You will stay here on a half-board basis where you can enjoy the variety of meals and home made products at the restaurant and relax on the spacious terrace where you can enjoy late afternoon views over the Alps.
The other accommodation option is to stay in some privately owned self-catering apartments which are situated in a pleasant region of Tolmin town.
PROGRAMME ITINERARY
| Day-1 Sunday |
You will be met at the airport and transferred to your accommodation in Poljubinj for a welcome drink and introductory meeting. After dinner we meet on the terrace of Pension Kobala to enjoy some evening entertainment. |
| Day-2 | White water rafting on Soca river on 2-4 rated stretch, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Fun and technical, meaning everyone's assistance is important when paddling to perform a professional 'no touch' run. |
| Day-3 | Meet in front of the hotel and transfer to the Polog Valley, followed by exploration of WW1 bunkers from the inside out. We will continue with moderate walking through forests and over springs to the source of the Tolminka River, a picturesque place, surrounded with amazing cliffs and lush green vegetation followed by a break on a high alpine meadow. We will continue with a moderate descent to Tolmin through Tolminka canyon. |
| Day-4 | Free day with many possibilities. Why not visit famous Lake Bled and swim in the crystal clear water, explore nearby cultural and historic heritage, visit the refreshing and picturesque Tolminka Gorge, or maybe just relax next to the turquoise Soca river. |
| Day-5 | Meet in front of Pension Kobala for a 'Kayak tuition and development' day. Once you have mastered the basics, kayaks give you the freedom to explore almost any river. In the morning we concentrate on tuition and in the afternoon, we put our new found skills to the test on a Grade I to II stretch of river. |
| Day-6 | We set off by bicycle towards the valley of the Idrijca, on a road that winds along above the sparkling Soca river, and then continue along the "old" road by the river Idrijca among meadows and pastures. If the day gets too hot we will take a refreshing dip in the river. Our destination is the village of Slap ob Idrijci, 12 kilometres away, where there is a wonderful natural bathing place. Refreshing drinks, a diving board and plenty of activities are available on the beach. A refreshing swim is highly recommended! Return is scheduled for the afternoon. |
| Day-7 | Free day, where you can try some extra activities we offer (paragliding, caving, high rope course), or just enjoy a relaxing day next to the beautiful river. |
| Day-8 | Canyoning! A short walk in the picturesque Prsjak gorge followed by sliding and jumping down streams of escalating height up to a 27 metre high waterfall, assisted with a rope. A once in a lifetime experience! |
| Day-9 | Free day, where you can rent a car and explore Slovenia's top destinations such as Lake Bohinj, Postojna Cave, Ljubljana city and many others. |
| Day-10 | A whole day Mini rafting white water trip on the emerald Soca river with paddling, swimming, water games and a barbecue. An excellent mix of relaxation and skills development. |
| Day-11 | After a late breakfast there is some time for shopping before your departure for the airport. |
