What to expect

A trip to Slovenia is not complete without a visit to Lake Bled. This half-day tour takes you to Lake Bled, a charming Alpine resort located at the edge of the Julian Alps.

You'll have the opportunity to explore Bled Castle, which is perched high above the tranquil waters of the lake, offering stunning views from several viewpoints. During the tour, you'll also ride a traditional ‘pletna’ boat to Bled Island, where you can visit the church or enjoy local sweet treats at a café. Take a moment to relax by sipping coffee and savouring "Kremšnita," the famous Bled custard cream cake, at the lakeside. The pletna boat ride to Bled Island is a highlight of this tour and represents a unique experience in Slovenia. Operated by a single rower with two long oars, these boats are exclusive to Lake Bled. Once you reach the island, you'll have time to explore and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

Optionally, you can enter the Church of the Assumption and even ring the wishing bell, which has been ringing over Lake Bled since 1534.

The tour will lead you to some of the best viewpoints, where you can admire magnificent views over Lake Bled and Bled Island, perfect for capturing beautiful photos.
