Bled: Triglav National Park Adventure - Soča Valley Day Tour

Overview

This day tour is a great, dynamic & fun day out, where you explore the best spots of Triglav National Park and the Julian Alps. The Emerald River Adventure is the original 3glav day out from Bled: a small-group escape into the wild heart of Triglav National Park. Slovenia is small, but its beauty is not, and one day in the Julian Alps shows you why people fall for this country. You'll drive the dramatic Vršič Pass, walk to the roaring Pericnik Waterfall, and watch the Soča River run that unreal emerald green, the colour the trip is named for. Three short hikes (around 30 mins each) break up the scenic drive, each rewarding and all optional. Feeling brave? Add an optional white-water raft down the emerald Soča (extra fee), our guests' favorite thrill. Round-trip transport, park fees and free photos are sorted, and groups stay small (max 8 per guide), so it feels less like a tour and more like a good old road trip with a friend showing you the best stuff.
