Slovenia Family Holiday with Teenagers
Itinerary
Zdravo! Welcome to Slovenia. Your adventure starts with a 4 pm welcome meeting in Ljubljana – the capital of Slovenia and home to the curved Ljubljana River and Tivoli Park. If you arrive early, maybe visit the National Museum of Slovenia or take a funicular (mountainside railway) up to the Ljubljana Castle for panoramic views of the city.
After your meeting, join your local leader on an orientation walk through the streets of the city. Wander through the central market, see the iconic dragon statues on Dragon Bridge and discover Metelkova City, known for its street art.
Tonight, maybe head out for dinner and get to know your fellow families.
Say goodbye to Ljubljana as you depart for Lake Bled this morning. When you arrive, you’ll have some free time to explore at your own pace. Maybe see the medieval Bled Castle or indulge in the iconic Bled cream cake (kremsnita). Then, continue driving to Kranjska Gora – an alpine resort known for its glacial lakes and surrounding mountains. Here, you’ll buckle up your helmet for a cycling tour of the region, stopping along the way for lunch. Arrive at your accommodation in Bovec – a small town surrounded by the Julian Alps, known as Slovenia's adventure capital.
Tonight, maybe head out for dinner with the family and try some traditional dishes like frika (cheese omlette) or compe an skuta (boiled potatoes with cottage cheese and sour cream).
This morning, get ready for an exhilarating white-water rafting adventure down the Soca River – a 138-km-long river that flows through Slovenia and Italy, known for its distinct emerald colour. Take in the expansive alpine views as you navigate the rapids. When you get back on dry land, the rest of the day is free for you to explore at your own pace. Maybe discover hidden gorges and canyons on a guided canyoning adventure or set off along the Walk of Peace Trail to visit various sites linked to WWI, such as the Ravelnik Open-Air Museum and preserved trenches and bunkers.
Today is a free day for you and your family to spend at leisure. Maybe take on Europe’s longest zip-line, paddleboard on the Soca River or hike through the Triglav National Park.
Later, why not take a refreshing dip in the emerald pools along the Soca River or continue exploring the Soca Valley and visit the Greate Soca Gorges or Boka Waterfall.
Tonight, maybe find a local restaurant for dinner – your local leader will have the best recommendations.
After breakfast, set off on a hike to Tolminska Korita (the Tolmin Gorges), through the Triglav National Park. As you walk, you’ll pass narrow gorges and crystal-clear waters, learning about the area’s natural history from a local guide. Soak in the beautiful landscape before traveling to the Adriatic coastal town of Portoroz, where you’ll stay for the next two nights.
This evening is free for you to rest or continue exploring. Maybe head out for dinner or simply kick back with the kids.
Today is a free day for you to explore at your own pace. Maybe visit the Church of St Bernardine, explore the Valeta Tunnel or cycle along the Parenzana Trail.
This afternoon, maybe spend the day swimming in the hotel pool, walk to the nearby beach or set off on a sea kayaking adventure.
Tonight, why not head out for dinner with your fellow travellers – a great way to celebrate the final night of your family adventure.
This morning, take a transfer back to Ljubljana. Upon arriving to Ljubljana Bus Station, your trip will come to an end. If you’d like to stay longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
