Signed up for the tour and ended up having a private transfer to the caves and back! My guide was friendly, kind, and I had a wonderful time at the caves. MUST SEE in Slovenia - the cave was the highlight of my trip.

Full description

The Škocjan Caves are a unique natural phenomenon, created by the Reka River. The Reka River springs below the Snežnik plateau and flows for 55 kilometers (34 miles) on the surface. After reaching the karst — that is, the limestone surface — the river not only deepens its riverbed through erosion but also corrosion; it dissolves the limestone and creates the caves.

Explore the Škocjan Caves with a local, English-speaking guide on this half-day trip from Ljubljana. Get picked up at your hotel or guesthouse at 8:30 AM, then drive to the caves as your guide informs you about Slovenia.

Please book your entrance ticket in advance via link provided below. At 10 AM, begin your tour of the caves, spending around 1 hour and 45 minutes inside. Marvel at how big the caves are and learn all about the things you see. Make sure to dress warmly as the constant temperature in the caves is between 8–10ºC (46–50ºF).

After your tour, you can eat something at the restaurant near the ticket counter if you wish. Finally, get back in your vehicle at 12 PM and return to Ljubljana. The tour concludes with drop-off at your original pickup point at approximately 1 PM.

  • Local, English-speaking guide
  • Entrance fees to the caves (€20 per adult/€10 per child during July and August; 18€ per adult/€9 per child the rest of the year)
