One of those 'once
in a life time holidays' that our family will never forget.
Slovenia for 8 days became our summer
wonderland of thrills & spills, friendly faces & amazing
memories, each day being different.
(Bennett Family)
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 close to 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.

Day 1
Welcome evening, entertainment & games
On arrival our team will meet you at the airport with a
greeting sign & a big smile. Then we transfer from the airport
to the Tolmin area, to enjoy a welcome drink and have an introductory
meeting. After a fulfilling dinner, we relax with new
friends & can participate in the evening arranged games. A
pleasant introduction to your active family holiday with us.
Day 2
White Water Rafting
Surrounded by majestic green hills, working together you’ll
learn to master the art of white water rafting along
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
Mountain Biking
Today, you venture off together on your mountain bikes, to
discover more sides to this stunning region. Winding your
way along quiet roads, off-the-beaten track paths & lush
meadows, this has to be the ultimate cycling experience. Off
course, we will cool down, jumping into the crystal clear
river. It’s moments like this, you’ll wish to capture
forever. So have your camera to hand!
Day 4
River Kayaking
Once you have mastered the basics, kayaks give you the
freedom to explore almost any river. During the morning we
concentrate on tuition and, in the afternoon, we put our new
found skills to the test on a Grade I to II stretch of
river. Kayaking in Slovenia are essential for family active
holidays. The thrills of the pristine water will wash a big
grin on your faces, this we know for sure.
*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 & is one of
my personal favourites!'

Day 6
Mini Rafting
Today will be spent on the Soca river; cooling, paddling,

Canoe styled mini rafts for adventuring along the river
rapids, stopping for water games, swimming and a very tasty
BBQ to refuel the batteries. Undoubtedly, its days like
this, when you realise why Slovenia Activity holidays are so
highly praised. We look forward to your comments, pictures &

Day 7
Canyoning time
Taking a short walk through the picturesque Prsjak gorge, we
begin to jump, slip & slide our way down stream with
escalating heights. The adventure will be like no other
you’ve ever experienced, even descending a 27m waterfall, with
assisted ropes. This will definitely be a memorable
experience, to treasure forever. People afraid of jumping or
heights shouldn't worry, please talk to an expert at Vamos
Travel.
Day 8
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.
