From Ljubljana: Skočjan Caves Half-Day Trip

3. From Ljubljana: Skočjan Caves Half-Day Trip

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. Upon arrival at around 9:30 AM, your guide will help you to buy the tickets to enter the cave. 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.

The package to visit the cave and the castle are well planned. The pickup was punctual, the pickup point was very close to the hotel and clear directions were given regarding the pick up point. Our tour guide Mr Valdamir was excellent, he made the journey such an memorable experience. It was a fun trip, hearing the stories, history of Slovenia and some insights into the life in Slovenia . I would blindly recommend the trip, and if you are lucky with the same tour guide we had it will become a unforgettable experience.

This is a fantastic no one should ever miss if going to Slovenia. The cave is simply mesmerizing, and the organization impecable. The Castle is also amazing. Very different from any other castle I have seen in Europe. You do the tour at ypu own pace with the translation equipment provides by them. Also very well organized.
