Slovenia: Hike, Bike & Raft
Overview
Highlights
- 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.
- By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, World Bicycle Relief. Donations provide school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas with bicycles that provide access to education, healthcare, and income.

The Intrepid Travel Experience
If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.
Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.
Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.
Why Intrepid?
- Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
- Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
- Local leaders - authentic perspectives
- Local transport - get close and personal
- Local accommodation - experience real living
- Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions
