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. It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you're going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

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.

Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours. Your cycling distance will be approximately 22 km or 4 hours. Please wear suitable, enclosed shoes to participate in this activity.

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.

Your essential packed items should include swimwear, a towel and dry clothes.

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.
