Fish-farm to boat ride to the Fonda Fish Garden, then wine and olive oil tasting. A great 2.5-hour Koper-area experience.

Plus we had the opportunity to take a boat out to see the gardens. They are amazing! And we also had a lovely wine and snack at the end.

We were from a cruise ship so timing was of great importance. Our guide was very good but we were in the hands of the bus driver unfortunately.”

From Koper: Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle Tour

5.Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 60 reviews · 5 hours · from $133

Electric train through Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle from Koper, with pickup and a live guide in about 5 hours, plus possible olm sightings.

“The Postojna Cave and the Predjama Castle are places you have to see! I've visited other caves and none of them compare to Postojna. The electric train ride going in is great, and the cave itself is just amazing. Unlike some tours, the tour guides on the bus didn't go through the cave or the castle, but that was just fine. The castle has a great recorded tour, and the cave has its own tour guide. Make sure you bring a coat because the cave is cold!”

11.Lake Bled and Ljubljana Full-Day Tour from Koper

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 36 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $141

Full-day tour from Koper to Ljubljana Old Town and Lake Bled, with pickup, a driver-guide, and time for photos and kremšnita.

“Would really say 4, but the guide (Dean) was excellent, so I kept it at 5. I wish we had 15 more minutes in Lake Bled to be able to visit either the castle or the church, but they pad the time based on ship departure and traffic. Additionally, the parking was terrible in Ljubljana, so we missed out on the walking tour. Dean gave a quick description because he didn’t want to waste our time driving around, and told us to take pictures of anything we wanted more information on.”

“This was an amazing activity! We booked this excursion independently from our Ship. All communication with Istranka Tours before our cruise on the Norwegian Gem, as to where to meet and when, was exceptional. We were picked up at the port by bus and taken to the Cave. I cannot say enough about this cave, it even has a post office in it! It was fun to send a postcard. We have been too many caves, but this tops them all. Our tour guide on the bus was very informative and we now look forward to visiting Slovenia when we can spend more time. We visited Predjama Castle, which was…”
