Looking for inspiration beyond the typical? Horse riding can be a perfect mixture of a little adrenaline and a lot of relaxation in quiet nature. For travellers who want more than the typical run-of-the-mill tours, some say that horse riding in Slovenia is the closest thing to experiencing a true local fairytale.

Slovenia offers a unique riding experience. In no other place can you find the same diversity of terrain in such a small area. From seaside cliffs and lush forests to endless open plains and rocky mountain trails in just a few hours – in short, you won’t be disappointed no matter which trail you pick. For a few hours you’ll be spoiled by some of the most stunning views of Europe and enchanted by plenty of wondrous local sights along the way.

The horse riding tours are suitable for riders of all levels who want to mix their holidays in Slovenia with their passion for horse riding. Your riding instructor will be a local professional horse riding guide and instructor. Beginners start their experience with riding inside a secure fence, so even children are welcomed to join. If you have any questions, don’t be shy to ask: both the guides and the locals you meet love to share their expertise. Ask them to share the many interesting stories and facts they’ve gathered along the way – like which muscles are responsible for making horses look like they are smiling.

Put on some comfortable clothes, add a bit of enthusiasm and congratulations, you are ready! Share our passion and make memories by checking this must-do activity off your bucket list.

Both 1h and 2h Horse Riding option are available.

First off: the hike of approximately 1 hour to the cave can be quite intense. However, we train jiu jitsu daily which has quite some cardio, and for us it was very doable. The hike was fun and had a few very nice viewpoints. After the hike, our amazing guide Anže gave us a good training on how to use the caving/climbing gear to go down steep/vertical slopes and back up. After getting ready, which took about 45 mins, we went into the cave. The cave itself is very large, and had some really nice features of which Anže was very knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot of details. After walking through the cave for a while (15-30 mins?) we arrived at the best part: an abyss of 40m straight down. This was an amazing experience, which was thrilling yet felt very safe. Even my wife, who has fear of heights, enjoyed the experience. She was scared/frozen for a bit, but Anže calmed her down, after which she was able to go all the way to the bottom and enjoyed it a lot! After the descent into the abyss, we climbed back up via another path, and experienced some more amazing parts of the cave. About 3 hours into the trip (including hike and preparation) we exited the cave and hiked back down to our starting point. This took another 30 mins I think. All in all, around 4 hours total for our trip. The experience was really unique, felt safe, but still got the adrenaline pumping!! Both of us agree: 10/10 would do again!

We took the 4-hour "City Bike Tour Ljubljana" with our guide, Andrej. Andrej was fabulous: filled with informative, historical, and humorous details. The ride allowed us to see many parts of Ljubljana in a short time, and Andrej tied it all together. The ride was not too difficult (we are seniors). The lunch stop was perfect (Slovenian charcuterie, plus a pour of local wine): enough to eat, water to drink, and a convenient WC. We recommend this tour (and Andrej) without reservation. We could not hope for a better experience.

This was a truly amazing experience! We really enjoyed our beautiful Seven Lakes Valley hike with an overnight stay at a mountain hut. The alpine scenery of mountains throughout the hike was simply stunning especially the crystal clear emerald lakes, which are absolutely breathtaking! The cosy mountain hut was a lifesaver after a long day’s hike, dinner was hearty and delicious, atmosphere was lively and the beds were warm and comfortable - overall a great experience! What made it all the more enjoyable was being in the safe hands of our brilliant guide, Klemen who was not only very experienced, professional and knowledgeable, but he was also extremely helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to take care of our needs during the journey. From the start, he was very responsive and proactive in helping us arrange our itinerary in the best way possible to maximise our time there. We also did a private rock climbing session with him after the hike and it was awesome! We definitely enjoyed our time in Slovenia with him and highly recommend going with this company and a private guide like him if you are looking for a customised trip.
