Our adventure begins in the heart of Slovenia's majestic Triglav National Park, where we'll explore Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj.

This segment of our adventure offers a perfect mix of paddling through breathtaking scenery and hiking along serene valley paths, showcasing the natural beauty of the area.

Nestled along the Italian border, the Vipava Valley presents a stunning contrast between the rugged Karst mountains and lush vineyard-covered hills. Renowned as one of Slovenia's premier wine regions, our adventure here combines the thrill of paddling on the untamed Vipava River with the cultural richness of local viticulture. After a day on the water, we'll visit a local vineyard to delve into the valley's winemaking heritage, offering a unique opportunity to taste and learn about the traditions that shape this picturesque region's acclaimed wines.

Morning We’ll pick you up in Ljubljana, then it’s straight onto the water at Lake Bled—yes, that Lake Bled. We'll cover the basics, then glide across those iconic glassy waters with the castle above and mountains all around. Lunch on our boards, because we can.

Afternoon Swim break in the cold, refreshing water, then we're off to our base for the next two nights. Settle in and get to know your adventure crew.

Evening Dinner at a local restaurant. Good food, great company, and the buzz of knowing this is just the beginning.

Morning Back on the boards at Lake Bohinj with the Julian Alps towering overhead. Today we're working on turns and manoeuvres, levelling up your skills against a ridiculously scenic backdrop.

Afternoon Lunch by the lake, then the day is yours. Wander the town, paddle on the water, or do absolutely nothing. No agenda, just time.

Evening Lakeside dinner with the group. Swap stories, laugh about who wobbled most, and feel that good tiredness from a day outdoors.

Morning Hike to Vogar viewpoint for sweeping views over Lake Bohinj that'll have you reaching for your camera immediately. Lunch at a local restaurant, then a scenic car train ride through the mountains into the Soča Valley.

Afternoon Quick swim stop in a charming village, then onwards to our home for three nights: a family-run tourist farm.

Evening Farm-to-table dinner with organic produce grown right here. Fresh, flavourful, and the kind of meal that reminds you why eating local matters.

Morning Paddleboarding on the emerald Soča River, and yes, it really is that green. Navigate canyons, paddle under bridges, take on cliff jumps, and swim in impossibly clear water. Then onto the Idrijca River before lunch in Tolmin village.

Afternoon Pool time, farm exploration, or just relax after the morning's adrenaline. 

Evening Home-cooked dinner at the farm. Simple, satisfying, delicious.

Evening Head back across the border to Vipava Valley. Wine cellar visit for tastings and dinner — the wines here are excellent and the food's incredible.
