Adventure Short Break in Slovenia 
Duration: 4 days
This is a short break to a western part of Slovenia, to the picturesque valley of the emerald river Soca with amazing views over the neighbouring Julian Alps. In these few days you will experience the country by exploring it in as many different ways as possible.
Tolmin is the town we are based in. It's a small destination on the outskirts of the Julian Alps with no more than 4000 people. It is ideally located at the centre of the valley with all the services you need including a daily market with home made farm products.
Our accommodation is either in Pension Kobala, which is 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.
This extreme programme is a combination of water-based and land-based activities guaranteed to give the maximum adrenaline rush. Previous experience of adrenaline sports is not needed, just good physical fitness and plenty of courage! Enjoy Slovenia’s pristine environment while mountain biking through the alps, rafting down the emerald Soca River and sliding, scrambling and jumping down a water canyon!
If you are looking for an action packed break this summer in a spectacular unspoilt landscape, then look no further. Up to 6 adrenaline fuelled activities packed into 3 days set amidst the stunning alpine scenery of Western Slovenia.
PROGRAMME ITINERARY
| Day-1 sunday |
You will be met at the airport and transferred to your accommodation in Poljubinj for a welcome drink and an introductory meeting. After dinner you can optionally go on a night canoeing trip. We take our places in mini-rafts and under cover of night, equipped with headlamps, make our way down a tranquil section of the Soca river. You will learn the basics of paddling and enjoy the starry sky or the lightning flashes of summer storms. A truly breathtaking introduction to Slovenia. |
| Day-2 | White water rafting on the 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 professional 'no touch' run. In the afternoon we set off by bicycle towards the valley of the Idrijca, on a road that winds along above the turquoise Soca, and then continues along the "old" road by the river Idrijca among meadows and pastures. |
| Day-3 | In the morning we start with a kayak run on an 8km long descent on a grade I to II rated stretch. This is an excellent challenge for beginners! The afternoon is reserved for Canyoning. Short walk in a picturesque Prsjak gorge and then sliding and jumping down streams of escalating height, the largest of them a 27m high waterfall, where the assistance of ropework is required. Simply unforgettable! |
| Day-4 | After a late breakfast there will be some time for shopping before departing for the airport. |
