Experience the thrill of bear-watching in the pristine natural forests of Slovenia. Follow a wildlife expert deep into the forest, where you will meet Slovenia’s native brown bear through the wide windows of a safe wooden lookout – perfect for taking amazing photos!

In the wild, bears will very rarely approach humans. If they smell you, they will quickly go in the other direction – and you will never see them. That is why our lookout is smell-isolated, allowing bears to come into close viewing range. In addition to the mighty bear, you may often be able to see wild foxes, martens, deer, and badgers. Wolves were present twice during the bear-watching this season.

As you learn all about these magnificent creatures and the woods in which they live, you will also be contributing to a good cause, as some of your fees go directly toward the preservation of local wildlife.

In recent years we had a 96% likelihood of seeing a Slovenian wild bear. In case that bear does not appear on the day of your experience, we offer a 50% discount if you rebook this experience.

In our hides, we can welcome 4 to 6 guests with our guide.

*Please contact us in advance if you want to book the professional photo hide as we need to check the availability!

Things to know

Bears hibernate during winter, so our Bear Watching expeditions into the wilderness are organized from May to October.

Extremely safe. The only danger that exists is falling madly in love with the forest and animals that live there. A side-effect of Bear Watching can also be the strong desire to do it again.

Absolutely not. Bear Watching takes place in a specially designed, smell-isolated outpost. The animals will never know you were there.

Unfortunately not. The outpost is masking the smell of human scent, any stronger smells could get out and disturb the bear, meaning he will not even show up.

The outposts for professional photographers are located at eye level with the bear. There is also additional equipment for cameras.

As much as we love dogs, the bears are not the biggest fans of them, therefore they are not allowed to join you on this experience.

The trip is not recommended for children under 10 years of age. For younger children exceptions can be made if children are assessed as being able to be quiet in the hide for approximately 2h. They have to be still when bears are near the hide. If the children are assessed as being able to be quiet and to obey guides’ instructions the bear watching can be done as a private family experience. Advance booking is highly recommended to address all the logistics and to get available dates.
