Itinerary
| Day 1: | Arrival Day: we will be meeting your family at the airport, look for the greeting sign & our big smiles. We then take a very short 20 minute to the heart of Ljubljana’s old town. Tonight, alongside your Tour Leader and the other families – we’ll enjoy a fantastic gala meal. It’s a great introduction to this fairy tale town, and the perfect way to meet the other like-minded guests. |
| Day 2: | Lake Bled & White Water Rafting: Surrounded by majestic green hills, working together you’ll learn to white water raft along 2-4 rated stretches of the emerald green river waters. As always we will stop for water games, swimming and general fun time throughout the thrilling experience. After rafting, we’ll make time for visiting the iconic Lake bled, guests can shop, find a restaurant and swim. Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful places in Europe, definitely a must-see. |
| Day 3: | Adventure Park: Enjoy a big dose of adrenaline fun and unforgettable activities with your family (six included within the admission). From archery competitions and the high-ropes park, to frisbee golf and awesome monster mountain rollers; there is so much to get involved with. Do as much or as little as you like. It’s an incredible day out, and continues to be a firm favourite of our returning guests! |
| Day 4: | River Kayaking: After breakfast we will drive to the kayaking tour starting location, to be kitted out with equipment and learn the paddling techniques. Once everyone is feeling confident, we will kayak down river, enjoying the various rapids which cover a 9km stretch. This is a fun water activity experience, being easy to learn and lots of splash action to be had. The perfect blend of fun & excitement. |
| Day 5: | Optional day: Today, for your free day we recommend the Atlantis Waterpark or hiking Smarna Gora. There are two peaks to explore, and your Tour Leader will take you to the very best view points for those panoramic pictures. Optional extras are locally paid in cash. |
| Day 6: | SUP Boarding or Canoeing & BBQ: discover Ljubljana in a completely different way, gliding under the three bridges and wave to the city dragon. Our SUP tours include introductory briefing on paddle boarding skills and step-by-step instructions, so paddling while standing up on a board will be a breeze for beginners. This is one of newest and coolest adventure sports to try, and not to be missed. After the SUP tour, enjoy a lovely BBQ organised by your Tour Leader. Later in the afternoon, we’ll be bringing all the families together again for our crazy Olympic games. |
| Day 7: | Free day: Relax around Ljubljana (Castle walks, spa & massage and waterpark are daily available). If you’d like to book more, then we recommend trips to Lake Bohinj or to the very famous Postojna Caves. The Vogel Zipline is another great day out, as are the nearby gorges for canyoning tours. |
| Day 8: | Departure: This is always the hardest activity, as it is hard to say good bye to the new friends we have made. Please note, we can extend your stay, just talk to our friendly team. Maybe you’ll want to see Austria, Italy or Croatia. Many options present themselves when you come to Slovenia (the only country in the world, with LOVE in its name!). |

Holiday information
Small group tour:
Small group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modelled on independent travel – but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. It’s easy to tick off the big sights independently – but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, travelling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. Those with a two-week holiday, a small group tour will save valuable planning time.

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
We have a Leave No Trace policy for all our activities. We encourage guests to recycle, use less plastic and collect litter if they see it. We give long life bags to all staying guests, so they don't have to use plastic during any shopping trips. Our guides and staff us metal drinking flasks and have added these to our pre-holiday kit lists. We also ask families to use biodegradable sun cream, reduce bag sizes for air travel and to consider turning off all electrical products in their hoes whilst on holiday.Slovenia is not on the traveller's top list of places to visit yet and we would like to keep it that way because in such a fragile and clean environment regulated tourism has already been proven as the best solution.
Ljubljana itself lies next to many National Parks and by taking people there on a mountain trip we educate them about the unique fauna and flora and how tourism can impact the local ecology. If not managed carefully tourism has the capacity to disrespect the landscape through building roads, the parking of vehicles on the pastures and fields, using motorbikes and quad bikes on mountain tracks and collecting endangered mountain flora.
People
Using a local agency we work with local guides and qualified sports enthusiasts who are all well trained and friendly and helpful. Our philosophy has always been that, next to the destination, a genuine human touch is the thing that makes a fantastic holiday. It has been proven to be so.In this area the landscape and people have been seriously affected by both World Wars. In WW1 one of the bloodiest and biggest battles in the high Alps took place along the river. To make people aware of this fact, we present to clients all the important 'must see' places in the area.
We encourage customers to try local food like ‘Frika’ and local dances and it's very easy to soak in the local atmosphere, since almost everyone speaks English, many Italian and if you are brave enough, you can try Slovenian. Bless you for that as it's certainly not easy!
On this holiday, only local accommodation providers are used who employ local staff in all areas. The fact that the hotel is the only one in town helps sustain tourism in just the right quantity which reflects quality as well. Recycling is essential wherever possible, too.
