Amazing. We did the 6 hour tour together with our guide Borut. He was very nice and made us feel comfortable all the way through. He was very invested and tried his best explaining, even with his level of English. The tour included climbing rock terrain, rowing a rubber boat for several kms, moving the boat over terrain and climbing/going through some tight spaces. Expect to get a bit dirty over the course of your journey. We saw quite some creatures, including the famous human fish, beautiful cave formations and remains of cave workers/climbers from a long time ago. The equipment was good, no problems there. We never felt unsafe because of Borut his spirit and enthousiasm. Would recommend for everyone that is in for the description above. Even if you hesitate, do it. It is not tiresome if you are able to do a good hike. Many of the tight spaces are short, thus not that bad at all. Thanks Borut, from Mischa and Lisa.

Postojna Cave is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world's largest karst monuments. A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls, the astonishing diversity of Karst features as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for such popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors. Check the timetable of visits by months.

Immense cave system - taking the little train 3km into the caves was great fun even for my grown up children. You visit in groups and after the train ride walk for a further 2km into the caves where the guide gives information about certain areas .Fantastic stalagmites and stalactites and immense fascinating caverns. Please be aware that some of the walking is up or down quite steep paths -( maybe a problem for those with compromised mobility or breathing difficulty) - wear sensible shoes. We booked online which saved queuing and took the bus from Ljubljana, where we were staying, which took about 1 hour.

The cave impressed me! We chose a 2h tour that includes a boat ride along the first lake. The cave is really beautiful, I saw a lot, I learned a lot. Guides are friendly.
5. Pivka Jama
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 96 reviews
The Pivka Cave and the Black Cave are the final two caves along the subterranean Pivka River before the river finally disappears and resurfaces in the Planina Cave. The Pivka Cave entrance is located 5 km from the Postojna Cave. The 65-metre deep entrance can be reached by walking 317 steps. Electric illumination is provided along the tourist path. The path takes visitors along the Pivka River towards the Black Cave, after which they get back to the surface and return through a forest. The tour takes an hour and a half, no special equipment is needed.
