Lake Bled and Triglav National Park - full day tour (small group, max 8)
Overview
Do you like lakes and unspoiled nature? If your answer is yes, then this is certainly a trip for you!
In a day trip you will explore the magical Alpine lakes of Bled and Bohinj and feel the mountainous charms of Slovenia’s Alpine region. A walk around Lake Bled and a ride with traditional “pletna” boat to little Bled Island is the perfect combination to see the beautiful nature and the city. You can admire and explore Bled Castle perched on a cliff above the lake and once on top enjoy a cup of coffee with the most famous dessert in Slovenia “Kremsnita” (vanilla cream cake) or try scrumptious "potica" nut cake. Be amazed by the beauty of Vintgar Gorge where a wooden path will take you along the picturesque gorge with the rushing river Radovna and vertical rocks. In Bohinj you will be surrounded by the high mountains reflecting in Bohinj lake and you will have the chance to explore and feel the relaxed life of small alpine villages such as Ribicev Laz and Ukanc.
This day trip takes you to Lake Bled, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Slovenia. Enjoy the marvellous views of the lake from Bled castle, one of Slovenia’s oldest castles, and from the traditional ‘pletna’ boat, which brings you to the picturesque island on Lake Bled. Not far from Bled is the Pokljuka plateau, covered in amazing forests that are a part of Triglav National Park which stretches all the way to Bohinj Lake, an absolute gem nested in the heart of the Julian Alps. Pokljuka is also famous for its Biathlon Centre, where some of our best athletes train in the winter time. Exploring Bohinj lake you will quickly see why the Slovenians call it the gem of the Julian Alps. The glacial lake Bohinj is considered the most beautiful place in Slovenia. It is the country’s center of eco- tourism and outdoor adventures. It is the largest and most beautiful Alpine lake in Slovenia. Being part of the Triglav national park, Bohinj will impress you with its natural beauty and its serene peacefulness and you will surely vow to return.
You will also visit Bled Vintgar Gorge, deeply carved into the limestone by the Radovna river, which you can follow on a 1.6 km path full of bridges and galleries that show you the truly remarkable landscape of the gorge.

We booked a "small group tour" through Slovenia Explorer. The "Alpine Lakes Tour" included the Vingar Gorge, Lake Bled, Bled Castle and Bohinj lake. We were picked up by our tour guide - Teja - exactly on time at 07:50. There was only one other lady on the tour which who was lovely. Our first stop was Vintgar Gorge. We LOVED this place. It is a 1.6km walk through the gorge on boardwalks and paths (and of course 1.6km back again). There is a cafe both ends for a cup of coffee and cake. It was an easy walk and took about 35 mins each way at a gentle pace with stops to take photos. Teja provided up with the entrance tickets then left us to walk off on our own. She was never far behind if we needed her but allowed us to enjoy t on our own - perfect. The second stop was Bled Castle. Teja guided up around and told us the history etc. We the had an hour free time to explore the castle at our own pace. The view from here over Lake Bled were absolutely breath taking. We then took a "Pletna" wooden boat across lake Bled to the Island to visit the church. Afterwards we went for a relaxing lunch in a restaurant on the banks of the lake (own expense). Our final stop was Lake Bohinj. This is more of a place to go camping but was very pretty. The whole day was fantastic and we got back to our hotel about 6.30pm. It was exactly the right balance of guided/informative tour and time on our own to explore at our own pace. I would like to thank our lovely guide Teja. She was knowledgeable, polite, professional, informative and very easy to chat with. I would certainly book through Slovenia Explorer again.Nomad42458

My wife and I had a wonderful time on our tour to Lake Bled. I don’t know if there is a more picturesque scene anywhere we’ve been. Lidija was perfect as a tour guide...knowledgeable and entertaining. Don’t pass up this opportunity if you’re in Slovenia!

The alpine lakes tour was a stunning tour of the lakes region. Martin, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, relaxed and interested in everybody getting the most out of the day. Slovenia can sometimes be overlooked- astounding given how beautiful it is!

Collected from our hotel, taken into the gorges and mountains, entertained with fascinating stories of local folk lore and history. Taken to the lakes, a boat to an island, a lunch by the water, a swim in another lake..a great day of learning, relaxing and enjoying the local countryside and getting to know a lot about Slovenian history, lifestyles and local habits. Our guide Tja was amazing and full of knowledge and care. I would highly recommend this tour.
