Top Bled Shore Excursions

Secure your place in advance and avoid the hassle of arranging your own independent trip with this River Sava whitewater rafting experience from Bled. Travel to the river by air-conditioned vehicle, don the supplied wetsuit, life vest, and helmet; board a shared raft with a guide, and paddle the calm waters and rapids, admiring the scenery en route. Return hotel transfers and souvenir photos are great extra touches.

Only a short drive from the lake and tucked into a narrow valley, lies the Vintgar Gorge, one of the most popular attractions around Bled. A 1.5 hour hike will lead you through the ravine as you admire the clear flow of Radovna River, walk over bridges and tread the boardwalks, every bend more picturesque than the last. Our journey will continue on the Pokljuka Plateau, famous for its hiking and cross-country skiing trails where biathlon championships are held every year. Its wonderful pine forests are a remarkable sight, growing at elevation reaching well above 1000 meters (3280 feet). From this home to abundant flora and fauna we will descend on a windy road to the glacially-made marvel of Lake Bohinj.

Add a twist to your kayaking adventure by heading into Slovenia’s ‘Black Hole’ mines. On this excursion, you depart Bled for to the launch site, where you gear up and load your sit-on-top kayak into the cool water. Soak up the serenity as you wind through the pitch-dark underground tunnels with only headlamps to light the way. An unforgettable experience for beginner and experienced kayakers alike.
