Itinerary

Day 1: Bohemian Ljubljana

After touching down at Ljubljana Airport, your cheeky guide will be ready to welcome you and take you straight into the heart of fun-sized centre of Ljubljana.

Discover why it’s easy to fall in love with this charming capital as you wonder around Ljubljana’s cobblestoned streets and enjoy its impressive baroque architecture. Weather permitting, we’ll have the opportunity to experience a variety of freshly cooked food prepared by Slovenian chefs in the Open Kitchen under magical Ljubljana castle.

Following this, we’ll head back to the accommodation where you can continue to bond over a few beers with your crew at the hostel bar or call it a night.

Day 2: Castles, Caves, Countryside & Cab Sav

Today might feel like we’re on a Game of Thrones set as we visit a castle, cave and sample wines from a winery in the countryside. After breakfast we’ll visit one of Europe's most dramatic and unique castles - Predjama castle where we’ll discover the story and history behind it. There will be an optional entry (€19) to the castle for anyone wanting to explore inside.

Following the castle, we’ll head to UNESCO Škocjan cave for a guided tour inside where you’ll be in awe by the jaw-dropping natural beauty and sheer size of this cave.

A day out in the countryside wouldn’t be completed without wine tasting so we’re off to Vipava Valley - a region known for its scenic dotted towns, hospitality and most importantly, its quality wines. We’ll get to enjoy a few cheeky wines alongside a charcuterie board at a local winery. After wine tasting, we’ll have a group dinner back in Ljubljana.

Day 3: Bleddy Unreal

You may think you're still dreaming this morning when you lay your eyes on Lake Bled. We’ll take a short hike up to a viewpoint that perfectly captures this fairy-tale lake with the church on the island, the mountainous backdrop and the imposing castle perched on top of a cliff face all in the one shot! After you've stopped pinching yourself, it’s time to embrace the lake with a Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) session. Once we’ve conquered the water, you’ll have free time to explore the beauty around the lake at your own pace - your cheeky guide will happily provide recommendations.

Later in the afternoon, we’ll visit the stunning Vintgar Gorge and take an easy walk through this picturesque natural gorge.

Day 4: Choose Your Own Adventure

With Lake Bled being home to both fun and adrenalin pumping activities, today is your free day to discover and explore this adventure playground.

Whether you feel like canyoning in Bled, zip lining over the Sava river (longest zip line in Europe), paragliding up in the mountains, horse riding through nature, cruising around on a bike or simply chillin’ out by the lake and enjoying the serenity - the choice is yours! Your Cheeky guide will assist with arranging optional activities.

Optional Activities:
- 7.5KM Zip lining over the Sava Dolinka river €75
- Canyoning €75
- Horse riding €70
- Paragliding €130

Price of optional activities are subject to change.

Day 5: Real Life Narnia

Today we’re venturing into scenic and untamed Triglav National Park.

Get ready to soak in the fresh mountain air and spectacular views as we drive into the Julian Alps. As we wind our way through the scenic Vršič Pass, we’ll stop and visit some local hidden gems we like to keep secret (sssh!).

Prepare for a jaw-dropping moment once you first glimpse the emerald crystal waters of Soča river. It’s time to slap on some wetsuits and get Wet ‘n’ Wild white water rafting down the river.

Keeping with the water theme, we’ll swing by Kozjak waterfall - one of Slovenia’s most picturesque waterfalls.

On the way back to the accommodation, we’ll swing by sister Lake Bohinj for a photo stop.
