Nestled between Europe’s most ancient forests and spectacular mountain ranges is the stunning Slovenia. The crossroads of the Balkans, this storied central European wonderland is one of the continents best kept secrets.

Surrounded by Croatia, Hungary, Italy, and Austria, and the Adriatic sea, you'll savor the flavors and features of each in Slovenia. Explore rich landscapes, pristine wilderness, tiny towns and floating cities as you hike, climb, raft, kayak and eat your way through the heart of Europe.

trekking

With over half of the country covered by forest, and much of it covered in huge mountains, Slovenia is a world class wilderness experience. Spend five days hiking the alpine paradise of Triglav National Park. Trek through the spectacular Julian Alps, up jagged peaks, and along towering ridge lines. These days will be epic and challenging, but each night will finish in the remote Slovenian countryside with a hot meal and cozy bed to prepare you for the next days adventure.

Explore the inverted worlds of the Soca River Valley. The emerald waters of the Soca River carve their way through incredible rock formations that can be explored by climbing, jumping, rappelling, and sliding on a canyoneering expedition. Learn a whole new way to adventure using ropes, harnesses, belay systems, and climbing techniques to explore the caves, canyons, and caverns of this gorgeous gorge.

Get into the sparkling Slovenian magic of the Soca River on a white water rafting excursion. Known as the “Emerald Beauty” for its vivid waters, this river takes you through overhanging rock formations, beautiful landscapes, and thrilling rapids. Learn to navigate these crystal waters with your team, cruising narrow canyons, and paddling in sync. Watch the Slovenian wilderness go by on river time.

Access the best of the Adriatic sea on the historic coast of Croatia. Explore this spectacular stretch of beaches, turquoise water, and Roman remains, as you glide around the Istrian Peninsula in a sea kayak.
