Slovenia · ŠKOCJAN CAVES & THE KARST
6 reviewed
Škocjan is the quieter UNESCO cave and the more dramatic one: a footbridge across a canyon with the Reka roaring somewhere beneath it. These trips usually stitch it to Lipica’s white horses or to Piran on the coast. Here is what each route covers, how long the walk underground runs, and what it costs.
Ljubljana day trip to UNESCO-listed Škocjan Caves and Piran. Walk an underground canyon, then explore a colorful Adriatic town.
“Amazing trip, amazing guide, wonderful day. Skocjan cave feels like being in another world, like a Lord of the Rings scenario. Totally worth it.”
Small-group day trip from Ljubljana to UNESCO Škocjan Caves, Lipica Lipizzaners, and medieval Piran, plus scenic stops and sea time.
“Had a great time on this trip, but due to weather predictions we changed the order of activities so that we got to the coast before it rained, saw the cave which is the most incredible one I've seen to date, saw the horses but unfortunately missed the show due to time rearrangements but lastly, the best part was our wine tasting excursion to a small family winery who treated us very well with wonderful wines and charcuterie board. Anna, our guide, went above and beyond.”

Small-group day trip from Ljubljana to UNESCO Škocjan Caves and Venetian Piran, guided cave walk and Adriatic views.
“Škocjan caves is not the usual cave experience like the Postojna more common and mainstream stalagmites and stalactites caves. Škocjan is about deep narrow ravines with roar of rushing waters, about great heights between ravine rapids and ceiling of cave, about the cave ceiling looking like upside down snow forest or extraordinary scenery from another planet, about eerie darkness and evidence of the first explorer dangerous routes discovering the caves!”
Full-day trip from Ljubljana to Lipica Stud Farm and Piran, with Lipizzaner horses, Venetian streets, and Adriatic views.
“Wonderful way to spend a day! Rok was a great guide with I retesting information on the ride; the Lipica Stud Farm was beautiful even in the rain; Piran was gorgeous and I could have stayed several more hours !”
See UNESCO **Skocjan Caves**, Karst prosciutto and Teran wine, Lipizzaner horses at Lipica, and walk Piran’s medieval coast from Ljubljana.
