This Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle small group tour takes you from Ljubljana to two of Slovenia’s best-known sights in about five and a half hours. It suits travelers who want both places in one half day, with a guide and no more than eight people in the van.
The first stop is a castle built into the mouth of a cave, halfway up a cliff. You spend about an hour inside, climbing narrow staircases and walking through rooms with old furniture and weapons. Your guide tells the legends tied to the castle along the way.
Next comes Postojna Cave, where an electric train takes you deep into the cave system. Then you continue on foot past stalactites and stalagmites formed by the Pivka river over a very long time. You also learn about the animals that live underground, including the blind salamander that locals call the “human fish”. Plan for about an hour and a half here.

A great trip combining two excellent places. Mini bus very comfortable and plenty of space. Brilliant communication and clear instructions from Viator from booking til the morning of the trip. Easy to find meeting point. Caves were incredible and the castle very interesting. Well worth visiting.
Caves were amazing, highly recommend. Our tour guide was excellent. We had sick kids and luckily ended in private family tour only. He was accommodating and knowledgeable. Went to castle for a quick visit. Amazing
The walk in the cave is not for the faint of heart several km and a large crowd of people at each stop, but was very pretty and would still recommend! The train into the cave was like a Disney ride but slower. Would recommend bringing a snack as the tour day is packed tight.
No. The tour covers transport and the guide. You pay the entrance tickets for both places on top of the tour price.
It can be. Postojna is one of the most visited sights in Slovenia, so you share the cave with other groups, mostly in summer. Spring, autumn and winter are usually calmer.
A snack and a bottle of water are a good idea. The day is full, and one past traveler suggests packing something to eat between stops.
The tour needs a minimum number of travelers. If it is canceled for that reason, you get a different date or experience, or a full refund.
Yes. You get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Later cancellations and changes are not refunded or accepted.
