What to Expect and Why It Matters

This canyoning adventure is designed to give you a balanced dose of excitement and natural beauty. You’ll start with a pick-up point in Bled or Zasip, followed by a short drive (about 20 minutes) to the canyon. The first stop is at Slap Grmeica, a highlight for many. Here, your guide will provide a comprehensive safety briefing and introduce you to the gear—wetsuits, helmets, harnesses—that’s designed to keep you comfortable and secure as you navigate the canyon.

Once geared up, you’ll work your way up to the top of the canyon, where the real fun begins. The descent involves walking, swimming, and abseiling down steep sections. The activities include jumping off waterfalls into deep pools, sliding down natural rock slides, and abseiling down cliffs, all overseen by your skilled guide, Jure, who is frequently praised for his professionalism and jokes that keep the mood light.

Walk, Swim, Jump, and Slide

The heart of the adventure is the variety of canyoning techniques you’ll use. You’ll walk through narrow passages, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy the thrill of jumping into pools surrounded by lush greenery.

The natural water slides are a definite crowd favorite, offering a quick and fun way to descend steep rock faces. You will also abseil down sections of the canyon—an activity that’s as exhilarating as it sounds but is safely guided by your instructor. “Jure’s instructions and jokes made us feel safe and entertained,” says Rutger, highlighting how guides make or break the experience.

Small Group, Personal Attention

Limited to just 7 people, the small group size ensures that everyone receives individual attention. This setup allows guides to tailor the experience, answer questions, and handle any concerns more efficiently. Amelia appreciated the new equipment and the personalized touch—”We were in a small group (max 7, we were 3), and it made a big difference.”
