Overview


Set in the heart of Europe
, sits
the stunning Slovenia. A hugely varied country with high Alps, sweeping meadows, vineyards & crystal clear rivers. Your activity holiday focuses in the very western part of Slovenia, very close to Italy in an unspoiled valley. Here you'll discover with us; turquoise blue rivers, surrounded almost completely with high peaks, amazing gorges and green forests.

Truly, this is the perfect destination for active family holidays. Based near a small town called ‘Tolmin’, you’ll be taking advantage of the surrounding Julian Alp Mountains & fresh gushing rivers, making it the perfect base for your active family or group looking to enjoy a selection of land & water activities.

2-4 rated stretches of the emerald green Soca River. As always we will stop for water games, swimming and general fun time. Experiencing the crystal clear waters of the Soca river will have a lasting imprint on your life not just your holiday.

 Day 3
Walking Adventure  

Hiking Day

Today we transfer you to the Polog Valley, where you will have chance to explore some WW1 bunkers before the hike begins. The walking is moderate and designed to show off Slovenias wonderful nature. You will walk through pristine forrests, over many springs to the source pf the Tolminka River and enjoy a nice break on a high alp meadow.


 Day 4
 

Your Free Day

Today is a Free day so you can simply relax by the hotel swimming pool. Enjoy exploring the near by countryside or if you feel like a day excursion we can arrange a trip to Lake Bled. Please feel free to ask your activity holiday consultant for ideas: 0845 299 7807


 Day 5
Kayak  

Kayak Day

Our instructors will set the pace to suit the group. For novices once you have been taught the basics you will begin to feel the freedom that Kayaking gives you. In the morning we focus on technique and tuition and in the afternoon we put your new skills to the test kayaking down some grade 1 and 2 stretches of the river.

 

*DOUBLE VALUE* - How are we different?

'Most introductions to kayaking start & end on calm waters - where clients get to grip with the basics of movement and safety. Well with our itinerary, we start the day earlier and end later, allowing a full morning of tuition & fun. This means by the afternoon, we can take our guests to the river rapids, putting their new skills to the test. It's an extremely enjoyable day & most of all - you feel proud of your achievements! This activity can't be missed & one of my personal favourites!'

Russell Smith - Activities co-ordinator


 Day 6

Cycling Day

Our cycling day is designed to take you on a wonderful day trip through Slovenia idyllic countryside. We start off towards the valley of Idrijca, riding alongside the river and amongst pretty meadows and pastures. Our final destination is 12 km away, the picturesque village of Slapob Idrijci. Here you will be able to rest and even enjoy a swim, there is even a diving board on the beach. In the afternoon we will make our way back.

 Day 11

 
 

Departure day (too soon)

After a late breakfast, there will be some time for shopping, brisk walks about town, and then we must make our sad farewells and take you home for your airport departure. This is always the hardest activity, as it is hard to say good bye to the new friends we have made during your family activity holiday. However, at Vamos Travel we say 'until the next time! We never say goodbye!' We look forward to your next Slovenia active break.
