A unique experience.

Fantastic day.
The whole trip was an adventure. The entrance of the mine with the train, the walk down in the mine, the walk with the kajak and of course the kajak tour. Also the lunch with the local specialites was very good. If you look for a special experience: book this tour
A great day out - we learnt a lot about Slovenia!

It was great day out. Beautiful places, loads of history, and lots of adventure. Thank you for a fabulous day out. The train was fun, the 'miners snack' was appreciated. Great guides, especially our transport guide. Thank you.
Stunning vistas driving there - lots of fun kayaking -excellent hosts

This was more than expected! The drive through Slovenia and Austria to reach the mine was so picturesque and made even better with both the information provided by our driver Sasha, and the stops we made en route on the mountain passes.
The black hole kayaking was so much fun, being allowed to go off "on our own" to explore the passages in the dark.
Be prepared for walking up and down some steps to reach the kayaking stage but the lunch afterwards was a nice treat and they catered for gluten-free guests excellently too.
Amazing

The trip was managed very nicely. We took a stop around Milka valley and Primo was explainign to us how the valley was named and allowed us time to laze around and take a few nice shots. The black hole kayaking experience was also very unique and nicely managed. They catered to my food requirements and provided me a nice vegetarian lunch upon the end of the trip. Highly recommended tour and the tour providers.
