Trip Informations
With its crystal-clear emerald lakes, picture-perfect castle and fairytale island at the foothills of the Alps, Bled is the perfect spot to base your eight-day active adventure in Slovenia. Hike lush trails on Mt Vogel in Triglav National Park, go cycling next to the Radovljica River and hold on to your helmets on an exhilarating white water rafting trip on the Soka River with expert guides. Walk the Vintgar Gorge boardwalk, discover the secrets of Ljubljana and see the little village of Ribcev Laz. Along with all this adrenaline, there’s plenty of free time to discover bled at your own pace – kayaking or ziplining, anyone?
Why you’ll love this trip
Hike along lush trails from the top of Mt Vogel, within Triglav National Park, looking down to the valley where the deep green forest meets the bright blue of the glacial Lake Bohinj.
Cycle through mountain pastures beside the Radovljica River to a valley strewn with wildflowers.
Trek through Bled to Vintgar Gorge across rapids, waterfalls and pools. Find your reflection in the sparkling water below from the boardwalk on the rock face.
Explore picturesque Bled at your own pace – famous for its fairytale-like surroundings, including the lake with a church and medieval castle smack bang in the middle. Maybe go kayaking on the river or indulge in the iconic cream cake.
Go whitewater rafting over the rugged rapids, gates and pools of the Soka River, taking in stunning alpine scenery as you follow your expert guides.
Is this trip right for you?
This is an active trip packed with activities such as cycling, whitewater rafting and trekking. To fully enjoy it, you'll need to be in a good state of health and fitness. To participate in the rafting experience, you'll also need to be a confident swimmer.

This was my first Intrepid trip and it exceeded my expectations. Our trip leader, Dovar, was energetic, fun and knowledgable. He went above and beyond to help facilitate some communication for my rental car pick up that I arranged for post tour. Our accommodations in Bled at Sobe apartma Milena were very nice and clean. The host family is very sweet and they made a homemade breakfast every day. It was great having the free day built into the schedule because when rain was predicted for our bike day, we had the opportunity to swap days. On our free day, we took a tour to Postojna Cave and Predjama castle. Of note, if you are worried about the hike at Vogal, there is an opportunity to sit out part of it and still get great views, although getting to the top was rewarding and beautiful. I would highly recommend this trip to others.

I would highly recommend this trip . The walk through the gorge was stunning- followed by an incredible hike the following day. The next day was a perfect day to rest and explore beautiful lake Bled . After that we had incredible fun on the water rafting followed the next day by a lovely cycling trip. I would recommend it as a great trip for a variety of activities that were well run and lots of fun! Ivana our leader was incredible -

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on all 3 trips arranged through Intrepid, the staff from the start with the bookings were very helpful and made the whole experience easy being my 1st overseas trip travelling on my own, the trips were varied with small groups and the leaders you cannot fault.

The Hike, Bike & Raft in Slovenia trip was an adventurous, fun trip with excellent leadership from Tamara. Every aspect was well organized and well communicated. It was challenging enough without being stressful and the scenery was spectacular. I enjoyed using the e-bike so I could relax and enjoy the scenery. Slovenia is a gem. The accommodations were perfect. I highly recommend this trip!

Our Hike,Bike and Raft trip in Slovenia was memorable for all the right reasons!It was centred in the amazingly picturesque surroundings of Lake Bled who also happened to be the adventure capital which makes for an unbeatable combination.Melinda our host at our quaint little apartment provided home cooking every morning and a balcony with a view to the mountains which proved inspirational for our daily Pilates.Our guide Tamara professionally steered us through all our activities despite her dislike for cold water…. and provided an insight into the best eating spots in town.A thoroughly enjoyable trip which I would certainly recommend to others.
