The Eastern Europe Optional Activity Package Includes:
Caving
Slovenia contains some of the largest cave systems in Europe and this caving adventure will take you deep into underground karst systems where only the light of our headlamps can penetrate. Winding passageways lead to caverns adorned with stalagmites and stalactites, their crystals glittering under our lights. With our experienced guides, we will walk, crawl and rappel our way through this unique environment to be born again when sun hits us upon our exit to the outside world.
Lake Bled Castle and Bicycle Tour
This idyllic glacial lake, complete with 15th Century church nestled on an island, and medieval castle clinging to a rockface, has a hypnotic beauty which has enticed travelers seeking rest and relaxation since the 11th century. On your tour you will circumnavigate the lake on bicycle, stopping for lunch and a refreshing dip in the lakes emerald waters. Then, walking atop the cliff for amazing views across the lake, you enter one of Slovenia’s the oldest castles featuring Romanesque towers and Baroque architecture. With the imposing Julian Alps as a backdrop, this day is the perfect introduction to mountain life in Slovenia.
Centina River Canyoning
Experience the adrenaline rush of rappelling down the beautiful limestone cliffs of the Cetina River canyon. Once on the river, the adrenaline continues as we splash through rapids, jump from ledges and navigate the more difficult sections of our descent down the river by zip-line. After more swimming and floating in crystal clear pools we rappel another section to get to the "big jump." Whatever your level of experience, this activity has something for everyone and in the summer heat, the Cetina River is definitely the place to be!
Omis Rock Climbing
It's time to enter a vertical world as we explore the limestone cliffs of Omis! Set amidst an amazing mountain backdrop, we will be instructed in the intricacies of rock craft as we scale to great heights. Also test your nerve on a series of rappels (descending a fixed line) – the ultimate challenge is 150ft high!
Korcula Island Culture
Korcula Island has a rich culture and is famous for being the birthplace of the explorer Marco Polo. On this tour, you will experience why island culture is unique as your private guide showcases his home village of Žrnovo featuring vineyards, olive groves and centuries old buildings. Stopping for a traditional meal and a swim, this half day tour affords breathtaking views and is the best way to immerse yourself in island life!
