Amazing trip

Had an amazing trip in beautiful Slovakia with a great group and the best guides! Thank you Martin, Patric and Philip for your humor, your patience and your love of nature 😍 I higly recommend!

Amazing time

11-Sep-2021

What an amazing time we had exploring the mountains and nature of Slovakia. Martin made tailored tours for us based on our interests and preferences. We spent 6 awesome days hiking, mountain biking and rafting first through Mala Fatra with Martin and then through Western (Roháčske lakes and Waterfall) and High Tatras (Zelene lake, Temnosmrečinské lake, Kmet'ov Waterfall), Pieniny National Park and Slovak Paradise with Patrik. Both Patrik and Martin are such friendly and great guys. We had such a blast spending time with them while enjoying spectacular views and immensely rich flora and fauna of Slovakia. If you want to get an unforgettable experience and explore Slovak mountains like a local, you should definitely do it with guys from Slovakation. 😊

Incredible time

12-Oct-2022

I recently got back from a 6 day trip with Slovakation and had an incredible time! We were in a group of 6 and explored the main national parks. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with a great mixture of hiking and personal time to relax afterwards. The accommodation was fantastic and the food was delicious. Huge thanks to Patrik for being a fantastic guide, especially as he went out his way to go back up one of the peaks, after the clouds cleared at Mala Fatra. We had freedom as a group to go on ahead if you wanted some alone time when hiking, but always felt safe knowing Patrik (our guide) was nearby. Communication was clear and responses were quick in case of any questions I'm hoping to go back again on another tour in the near future Thanks Patrik and Martin for an amazing holiday! :D
