Full description

Depart from your Bled hotel for an 8-hour kayaking adventure trip through an underground mine. Drive two hours to the abandoned mine and descend for 15 minutes into the depths of the earth on an original old mining train. The tour involves a short hike and a climb down and up some steep stairs that reach depths of 95 meters. Upon reaching the underground water, row in your sit-on-top kayaking through passages and galleries. Spend four hours in the mine (about one hour on the kayak) and enjoy the mix of dynamic activities, with a bit of both hiking and paddling. Illuminate your way with glowing headlamps, the only source of light in the mine. All the dry suits, boots, life vests, helmets and lights are provided. At the conclusion of your tour, you will be brought back to your Bled hotel. The tour lasts for about eight hours in total, with departures always only in the morning from Bled, the departure time depending on availability. You will be notified about the exact departure time before the day of the tour.

Lovely scenery on the way there. The mine train was interesting and going through the tunnels in kayaks was something we never were able to do anywhere else and really fun. Be aware there’s not much actual kayaking to be done, as most tunnels are too narrow, so you just pull yourself through with your hands on the wall. It was a bit awkward that some people on our kayaking mine tour got lunch, but this tour didn’t include it, so we just sat and waited for others to eat. Bring lunch, not just snacks!

This trip has been a favorite of mine!! The guides were very nice and outgoing! The drive to the mines was beautiful!! Along with sites, the guide had given us history of the area, up to the point of arriving to our next sguide underground. !! It was a fun trip, definitely recommend it and would go again !!

Wurden um 6 Uhr morgens bereits abgeholt und haben unterwegs an ein paar schönen Orten angehalten. Der Guide hat uns viele interessante Fakten über Slowenien erzählt. Im Bergwerk ging es mit Bahn hinein und dann eine steile Treppe hinunter zu den Wasserhosen. Hier sollte man auf jeden Fall trittsicher sein. Die Höhle kann man eigenständig mit dem Kajak erkunden und es war sehr beeindruckend. Anschließend haben wir noch eine Tour durchs Bergwerk gemacht, etwas zu essen bekommen und sind dann wieder zurück gefahren. Klare Empfehlung für die Tour wenn man etwas abenteuerliches erleben will
