SUP, Hike and Paraglide in Slovenia

This is a jam packed trip around Slovenia covering a lot of ground in a short period of time. If you only have a few days; this is perfect. I found it a bit rushed, with more time spent driving than I would have liked. All of the guides were wonderful, and you really do get a lot out of the few days.

This is a great little trip, if you don't have a lot of time and want a quick peak at Slovenia. The range of activities are fun and addictive variety to the trip. Personally the itinerary felt a little disjointed and rushed, so I'd have loved a longer trip. The paragliding was a massive highlight and would highly recommend just for that bit!

I wasn't really sure what to expect with Slovenia as I didn't know much about the country. I booked it as i love paddleboarding and the paragliding sold it for me.

This my favourite solo trip I've done having done one previous with a different company. It was also nice not to think about planning your days like i have when i backpacked.

The country is so beautiful and green. The lakes are stunning the people are so lovely (shout out to Amandica and Neza who were so welcoming fun and knowledgeable and catered to the whole group.)

The activities were amazing and so much is crammed in so you get to experience so much in such a short space of time. From a city walk to Krizna cave (which is huge) to a gorge hike, to sup on Soca valley (the water is as turquoise as the photos but also freezing) to lake bled to a mountain hike to paragliding. Alongside this an awesome group of people where we all got on so well. As well as tasting local food and wine to a beautiful farm. stay in the mountains. This trip gives you an authentic experience of Slovenia with so many amazing memories to take away. Thanks to the farm stay we ended up in a village up the road at a small concert as well as the other unplanned activity of taboggining at Lake Bled. Amandica was so accommodating as this was not part of the itinerary.

This trip is absolutely PACKED, lots of adventures, and covers a huge chunk of the country, I got to see so much, from the Road, the River, and the Sky. Slovenia is a beautiful, natural, green, peaceful paradise full of amazing lakes, mountains, rivers, and delicious food. This trip is a fantastic way to get a taste for this awesome country.

After a very difficult start to 2024, I very impulsively booked this trip, not really sure what to expect but excited to go with the flow and experience Slovenia!

From the moment I arrived, I felt immediately at home. Our guides Amandica & Neža were incredible! Super friendly, helpful & filled with knowledge which made it even more exciting and interesting. The group of 7 of us all got along brilliantly and I have made friends for life!

The most outstanding memories I will have are mainly of the scenery, but also the experiences we had with the stand-up paddle boarding and the paragliding! We also were able to experience Križna Cave (wow!) and Lake Bled where we tobogganed down the valley, as well as the city of Ljubljana and so much more! For the 4 days I was in Slovenia, I feel like I experienced so much and it kept fuelling my desire to learn and do more!

This was my first ever solo trip as well as experience with an adventure holiday in a different country, so lots of firsts for me (including paragliding, caving) and I am already planning my next trip! I will definitely use Much Better Adventures for future trips as they have been absolutely brilliant every step of the way.

Thank you to everyone involved with the trip! I can’t wait for the next one!

It was an amazing trip! The Jani and Matija were knowledgeable and helpful and made sure we created fun memories!

An amazing trip which enabled me to see a lot of Slovenia in a short space of time. Food was lovely, the country is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, lovely 2-night stay in the guesthouse in the mountains, especially Stella the border collie. I came home feeling refreshed and energised from the activities and the fun girls on the trip.

Superb tour through Slovenia. This was my first experience with MBA and I loved every minute of it. We had Tinkara and Veronika as our wondeful guides. The SUP activities (Ljubljana and Soča Valley) were fantastic and never felt too long in length. The Soča Valley scenery was spectacular and we had the brilliant blue water pretty much to ourselves! The accompanying hikes took us to some beautiful secluded spots and allowed the group to get to know eachother really well. I booked this tour to cross Paragliding off my bucket list and it did not disappoint. We were very lucky to have the perfect weather for flying in the Vipava Valley, where we were able to see the mountains and the sea during the flight. In between all of these activities, we had lovely scenic drives and fabulous local Slovenian food. Being a veggie I was expecting to struggle to find good food outside of the city but this wasn't the case at all. Our guides had planned ahead to ensure all diets will be catered for.

Absolutely loved this tour, first MBA tour and definitely won't be my last :) The guides were absolutely fantastic, local knowledge, very personable and lovely. The group were super friendly and we connected instantly, all solo travellers who were up for fun and adventure :) Equipment was all great, felt very safe throughout. Very smooth transitions and incredible scenery at the farm stay. Favourite part was the paddle boarding up Soca gorge - one of the cleanest rivers in Europe, the colour was bright turquoise, I felt like I was in paradise. Slovenia was breath taking - absolutely awesome scenery and outstanding wildlife and outdoorsy culture. Food was delicious, every day was different and super exhilarating. Didn't want it to end.

My first time visiting Slovenia ... And what a beautiful country it is! I had the best weekend.

The trip was jam packed which meant you got the most of your visit and covered loads of different places! Each day felt completely different and gave you a true taste for what Slovenia has to offer.

Iris and Matear were great guides for the paddleboarding days. They taught us about the area and some bits of the language. They made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the paddleboarding... And captured lots of photos out on the water too! The areas for paddleboarding were beautiful especially Soca valley with it's turquoise water.

Simon looked after us for the second half. Had loads of knowledge about the area and helped a few people with recommendations for their extra days.

Paragliding was incredible!

Food and wine were all really great quality, local produce ... Loved every dish!

Communication from Jani during the run up to the trip was great.

We were super lucky with the weather. All in all couldn't have asked for more!

Paragliding was the absolute highlight of this trip (it is weather dependent, so not always guaranteed to happen, but the guides made clear that they'd change the itinerary to accommodate the best weather opportunity for this activity). Lots crammed in to 4 days.... we had the additional bonus of a trip to Lake Bled and Bohinj on the final day! Beautiful country. Bit of a challenge in some places for veggie/vegan options. Quite a lot of time spent in the minibus travelling to different parts of the country, but for many of the group this gave a perfect nap opportunity! The SUPing is suitable for complete beginners (as I was).It felt like the guides worked hard to ensure we had the best experience and changed the itinerary accordingly (due to weather conditions for paragliding and a slight change with SUP route due to recent flooding). The caving is a bit touristy- nothing physically challenging about that, but all the other activities were great.

Excellent trip - Slovenia is beautiful, the hosts were all excellent, food great and activities loads of fun. The caving isn't 'caving' in the sense I was expecting, it was more exploring a cave. Really pleased I went and have already booked my next MBA trip!

This was my first MBA tour and it exceeded my expectations. The activities, organisation, food/wine and accommodation were all excellent. The local tour guides were fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great time. Slovenia is a beautiful country and the paragliding a big highlight!

This was a truly amazing experience, action packed without being to strenuous. Great food, great guides and great holiday full stop

This was my first MBA tour and I would definitely recommend. The guides were really knowledgeable, ensured everyone did all the activities despite v changeable weather conditions and made sure everyone had a great time

Amazing experience with a fabulous group & our guides Iris & Simon were incredible! Despite the dodgy weather, we just went with the flow & we got to do all the activities. A fair bit of driving, but we got to see so much of Slovenia, which is beautiful. Excellent trip!

Highly recommend this trip! We had friendly and knowledgeable local hosts for every part of the trip - all of whom do their job with passion for the tourism industry and huge pride in showing you their country. They also created a nice group dynamic were everyone is hands on and not afraid to get a bit muddy and wet in the caves or on the SUP board! You will see a lot of the country in just a few days - including some "secret" local spots! Our trip was in May, so few to no tourists in the places we visited both the sights and the local restaurants as soon as you get outside of Ljubljana. It's action packed but very doable at all levels of fitness but long days so be prepared! Definitely coming back to Slovenia again!!!

Excellent tour. Highly recommended. We did so much in such a short time!

Fantastic trip, highly recommend!

Fantastic trip, highly recommended! Beautiful country and excellent activities, perfect mix of city and countryside. The local hosts are brilliant and make everything flow perfectly. However it's worth asking if you're finding flights tricky - I ended up paying for an extra night in Slovenia before the trip, and one at the airport the night before that, to get a flight that arrived before the start time. Only to find someone else turned up after the start time (on the flight I could have got, but assumed was too late).

Fabulous friendly hosts and views with even better paragliding I suspect as location and day changed due to fires - we did it Sunday over the lakes from top of the cablecar and chairlifts. Food was also fabulous but only breakfast included so additional costs. Good accurate kitlist. Except maybe suggest insect repellent! First hotel little far out! So good walk to centre if stayed there extra night. Fair bit driving.

This was a great trip, Spela provided some pre arrival hike information which I used to explore the local area. She went above and beyond to make sure the paddleboarding, cliff jumping and swimming was a sucess. She even noticed I could paddle a bit and traded up my SUP to a sport so I could practice on a new piece of kit. We transferred over to a new host, Veronika who was our hiking expert and she was very knowledgeable about the local area, taking us to historical places and a vinyard with wine tasting. She also did her upmost to keep us happy when the paragliding was postponed due to poor weather and drove us to another valley to ensure we jumped. I would highly recommend this trip, Slovenia wasn't on my travel radar before but these two guides and the amazing bunch of people I met on the trip made me love the country.

this was a fantastic trip. Both of the hosts were excellent, the paddleboarding was well executed by a professional company and covered two beautiful areas. all tutoring was included so you don't have to be an expert before you go. the hiking required medium level fitness, but they allowed us to go at our own pace and was very rewarding once we reached the top. the host for the hiking was very patient and took us to some beautiful areas for stunning views of slovenia. the caving was so interesting and the paragliding was fantastic. overall a brilliant trip with fantastic people, a great way to see Slovenia. would highly recommend.

I can’t recommend this trip highly enough; great guides, fantastic activities and stunning landscapes.

I had such an amazing time in Slovenia. So many experiences packed into a few days. Our guides looked after us brilliantly; well organised activities, the best food, comfortable accommodation and little extras along the way. I learnt so much from them about their beautiful country. I loved every part of the trip.

Excellent trip. Our guides Spela and Jani were super friendly and knowledgeable. There was a lot to fit into 3 days but all the activities were great fun. Would highly recommend Slovenia and MBA to anyone looking for unique and unforgettable experiences!

Scenery and activities were great.

Hosts are super nice and friendly. They were very supportive and helped me when I left my stuff by mistake in the hostel we left. The best adventure ever! Highly recommend! Time spend is planned super nice: you are always busy with something cool but not too much to be exhausted!

Slovenia is beautiful; the whole trip was really well organised; we were well looked after and the guides were very friendly, helpful and accommodating before, during and after the trip

Wonderfully organised trip with fab activities and superb guides.
