Description

Start your adventure in Bled, where you’ll be picked up by your local guide and enjoy a scenic panoramic drive through the Julian Alps to Lake Bohinj in the heart of Triglav National Park. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a short briefing and get familiar with your fast and stable sea kayaks, making the experience suitable even for beginners. On the water, you’ll glide effortlessly across crystal-clear alpine waters, surrounded by dramatic peaks, quiet bays, and untouched nature. The route covers approximately 9 km of relaxed paddling, with time to explore hidden corners of the lake that are only accessible by kayak. Midway through the tour, we stop at a lakeshore beach near the village of Ukanc for a relaxing picnic break with freshly brewed moka pot coffee. This popular but peaceful spot offers a relaxed atmosphere where you may also meet other visitors. Guests are encouraged to bring their own snacks, with dry bags provided for safe storage.
