We booked this trip to get as much out of our stay as possible, and it did not disappoint. A tiny bit of hassle in the morning, as the trip is out of Bled, not Ljubljana, but that was obviously not 3glav’s fault. The skilled and funny guide Klavdij (pronounced «Cloudy») picked us up with the rest of the great group of people we were lucky enough to spend the day with. The trip takes you through the Triglav National Park with some great views and short hikes along the way. The whole group did the rafting as well, down Soca river. Sadly the river was slow and low, but it was still great fun and a lovely bonding experience for the group. We finished off with another hike and a cool car train ride part of the way, and back to Bled. 3glav is a great company, very service minded and lovely. And Klavdij was just a perfectly lovely guide and host, interacting with the group all the way, bonding us together. I highly recommend this excursion, and do the rafting!

Amazing day and stunning sights

Ashley_G, Apr 2024

We had such a wonderful day! Definitely a highlight of our whole trip in Slovenia. Jan was an amazing tour guide - knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. The small tour group experience was also great because we all got to know each other and felt like one unified group. Would highly recommend to others!

Good fun with beautiful surroundings

Beverley_B, Sep 2023

The tour guide was amazing and we visited beautiful places. The raft on the soca was so so beautiful!!! A must do. The only issue I had is that the raft instructor we had got us stuck 5 times and he had no people skills so it spoiled it a bit. If it wasn't for this I'll give it 5 stars

Amazing experience ! We...

Dave_K, Sep 2023

Amazing experience ! We had an amazing time! Žygis and Yan not sure if I have pronounced their correctly were amazing guides !

Don't Miss This Day in Triglav for Anything!

Julianna_S, Jun 2023

There aren't enough stars to properly recommend 3glav Adventures as a company and an experience! The day I spent with them hiking Triglav Park and rafting the Soca River is top 5 favorite travel days of all time. They're so welcoming and knowledgeable, and their guides go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic experience. I will recommend them to everyone headed toward Slovenia (and many people who didn't even think to travel there)

Highlight of our trip

Ellen_N, Sep 2022

Awesome day trip! Guides were friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Pickup and drop off was easy and the sites we visited were so beautiful - rafting the Soca especially. Would love to come back and spend more time in the park.

Cant recommend highly enough

Callum_T, Aug 2022

Amazing tour, amazing guide, amazing value for money, can’t speak highly enough. Great flexibility on what you want to do, jam packed full of incredible sights and awesome picture spots. Lovro our guide was a legend!

Incredible experience with fantastic guide

Mitchell_R, Oct 2019

Amazing adventure, felt like an oppurtunity to see the real natural side to Slovenia! Guide was fantastic and went above and beyond to provide us with the best time possible! Was a pleasure and i learnt so much! Thanks again

A great way to see Slovenia in limited time

Stephanie H, Sep 2019

I really enjoyed this informative tour of Slovenia. I loved hearing the goat stories, seeing the beautiful emerald water, and the information provided by the guide. We saw so much and when they say full day, they mean full day.

Awesome experience!

Nicholas N, Jul 2017

Great, active day out. River rafting was the highlight so make sure you choose this option. Jaka and Luka were friendly and fun hosts. A bit less driving would have been appreciated, particularly towards the end of the day, but this is a minor criticism.

Dorothy, Jul 2017

This tour was amazing - one of the highlights of our entire trip!!! Lovro and Yakka were fantastic guides, both taking the time to interact with ALL the people in the group. The hikes were not too long or difficult, the view were spectacular and there was a variety of interests throughout the day. Yakka's stories were much appreciated by all, as were all the pictures they both took. We participated in the rafting, as did everyone in our group and didn't find it overly taxing. There was a young girl in the group and she managed just fine. In fact, I think I had a smile on my face the entire time we rafted, it was so much fun. It was really nice to be able to take the train back, which avoided a long drive back around and added an additional experience. I really can't recommend this tour enough and I definitely want to return to Slovenia!

Laurajk37, Jun 2017

amazing tour! such good value and really does last 12 hours! I recommend the rafting so make sure you add that on. the guide was great and very entertaining. The medium hikes are quite tough in the rain and up steep cliff sides so be sure you wear the right gear! loved it all!

This tour may be the best I ever did...

A. M. E, May 2017

This tour may be the best I ever did. Klaudij is an awesome guide who goes the extra mile! Short but great hikes, fantastic views and swimming under the waterfall made it a day to remember. The rafting was also so much fun and the car train and bohinj were the perfect ending of a long but awesome day.

It was a great day with fabulous...

It was a great day with fabulous sites and a tight schedule to try to see it all in one day. Suggest the description should point out that this tour is over ten hours long.

Christina O, Aug 2016

We were a family of 4 kids 12 and 14 year old and this was perfect for all of us. We were a group of 15 persons travelling in 2 vans with the guides Jaka and Klavdij. We loved it from start to finish. Best was the rafting, but the planning was perfect all day with hikes between 30 minutes up to 1 hour. We saw fantastic views, waterfalls och nature. We just loved it!
