Koper, Slovenia - What to do?

[viranpooja]

I am so excited our cruise will give us a day in Slovenia as I have always wanted to go there! Our ship will be there from 7am till 7pm. Some of the things I always wanted to do when in Slovenia was go to Lake Bled and go kayaking in the glacier waters!!! Would I get the chance to do both (I am assuming no already)?

Open to other suggestions/recommendations too.

Likes: scenery, adventure, culture, food!

Not too into but don't mind a little bit of: Shopping and history

Hate: museums

We had an excellent experience with Roundabout Travel. We took a tour to the caves and also to a riding school demonstration at the horse farm. Others went to Ljubljana and Bled, but since we were spending a few days in Slovenia after the cruise we knew we would see those later.

Do any of you know if it's possible to do both glacier water kayaking and Lake bled within that time span?

You can spend quite a while in Bled walking around the lake or take a boat trip to the island church in the middle. You might even see a wedding taking place. There is also a castle and there are plenty of cafes and shops.  Stopping off in Ljubljana on the way would be good, it's a very small city and easy to walk round. If you try to do too much you could end up missing such a lot and Slovenia is a beautiful country.
