Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Poprad
Arrive in Poprad. Depending on your time of arrival, we recommend visiting the district of Spisska Sobota, one of the best preserved medieval centres in Slovakia and home to the 13th-century Kostol sv. Egídia church. And also take time to get picnic lunch ingredients for your adventure tomorrow.

Accommodation in Poprad

Day 2: White water rafting on Dunajec River I 8-12km
After meeting your guide at the hotel, you are transferred to the village of Cervený Klástor (1h), where it’s also worth taking time to visit the 14th-century Cervený Kláštor monastery before today’s activity. After a short training, start your rafting adventure on the Dunajec River. The ride is suitable for beginners. The route has two optional lengths: the first starts and finishes on the Slovak side (8km), and the second is on the Polish side (12km). After the activity, you are driven back to your hotel in the afternoon.

White water rafting: 8-12km

Day 3: Via Ferrata HZS Kysel, Slovak Paradise National Park I 14km
Start with a private transfer from your accommodation to Cingov campground area (30mins) and walk to the beginning of the Via Ferrata HZS Kysel in Slovak Paradise National Park. Using climbing equipment, make your way through Kysel Gorge, supported by an iron cable permanently fixed at the gorge for your safety. Please note that this activity is not an easy one and takes a minimum of 7h to complete the whole route, especially on rainy days when the terrain can be very slippery. In the afternoon, our driver takes you back to your accommodation in Poprad.

Walking and via ferrata for the day: 14km, 7h

Day 4: E-biking in Tatras Mountains I 30-50km
Your guide picks you up from the hotel and transfers you (45mins) to the starting point of today’s trail, and e-bike collection. You can choose between four optional routes, depending on the difficulty level: an easier surface with gentle climbs and longer distance; a more moderate cycle to climb Mount Králova Hola (1,946m) in the Low Tatras Mountains; or around Slovak Paradise National Park. In the afternoon, our driver transfers you to Poprad for your last night.

Cycling for the day: 30-50km, 2-5h

Day 5: Departure
Departure after breakfast or extend your stay.

19-Sep-2022

Walking Fishermens trail in western Portugal will be a memory for life. We loved every minute of our week. All arrangements worked perfectly, from accommodation to luggage transport to questions we had before setting off. Our local agent met with us before we started the walk and we felt very reassured by his local knowledge and support. All accommodation was different, local, clean, friendly and easy to find. Very good value for money. I can really recommend Natural Adventure company and we will be back for more adventures. Many thanks Kicki Neely and friends

25-Jan-2024

A friend and I did the Alps to the Riviera walk in France at the end of 2021 and it was the best holiday experience either of us has ever had. It’s an amazing way of immersing oneself in the countryside and getting the full flavour of the country away from the tourist attractions. The Natural Adventure Company made perfect arrangements for us, gave us clear directions and was just a call away, to sort out any issues. The walk gave us incredible memories that will enrich us for a lifetime. I am in the process of booking my next wonderful adventure and I can’t wait to get started!

26-Jul-2024

I recently hiked, with a friend in the Italian Alps (the Val D'Aosta) and can highly recommend the region, and the Natural Adventure company. We were very pleased with the accommodation and the food was excellent most of the time- generous portions of excellent local dishes. The resources we were sent were excellent and very thorough. It was very easy to follow the routes as we were given so much detail- which we printed out and took each day's instructions with us, and the App helped to keep us on track. Sadly, we couldn't stay at the last location because there was a storm one night and the village we were due to stay in was flooded and cut off. The Natural Adventure did all they could to support us immediately, and help us find an alternative and we ended up staying where we were, as we were so pleased with that hotel and knew we could continue our hikes from there. We were very pleased with the holiday, the walks, the info and all our dealings with them. I would highly recommend them

15-Jul-2024

We booked our self-guided Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trip in Japan with The Natural Adventure (known locally as Oku Japan). The experience was top notch from beginning to end. The information packet was thorough and helpful, and details regarding trains and local buses (timetables, pricing, etc) were consistently accurate. Each and every accommodation was unique, charming, and welcoming. When there was an issue checking into our final hotel, the local office was quick to respond and the problem was solved within the hour (it was also a Sunday, so extra points). We weren’t expecting this to be a gourmet food tour of the region, but it was that as well! On top of it all, we found the price very reasonable for everything that is included. We had a wonderful experience thanks to The Natural Adventure, and would certainly travel with them again.

26-Feb-2024

I have been working with The Natural Adventure for a few years now and it's been a flawless experience. I have now booked 4 different trips (4th to happen in April 2023). Accomodations have been great and local operators (bikes, hiking guides and boats) have all been great. The rates are very fair and trip selections are great. Hoping to see some boat bike options in Greece and Turkey!

Great communications, customized trip

20-Aug-2022

This is our first time using Natural Adventure to plan a hiking trip in Europe. I wanted an 8-day hike to start on a certain date to explore a northern region of Portugal. They were so accommodating - customized our trip to meet our needs with responsive communications and full itinerary; everything has been taken care of. We look forward to the trip!!

02-Jun-2022

We hiked the Kerry Way with Natural Adventure and it was terrific. Outstanding views and good Irish weather. Some days were longer than expected due to placement of Bed and Breakfasts. Hosts were warm and helpful even dried our gear and shared local secrets. Irish hospitality in high gear.

14-Sep-2023

My wife and I booked the Lechweg short break hike with the natural adventure company this Fall and we’re very happy with our experience. I noticed one of the reviews questioning what they (natural adventure co) provide. That’s a fair question and from my perspective as a USA citizen, they provided a very important liaison/conduit role into the EU that would be prohibitive or downright impossible for a non EU citizen hiking/biking in Europe. In addition, I have found that in dealing directly with a few European companies directly, information does not always flow as smoothly as we like. The natural adventure company’s communication style fit our liking perfectly in that we receive a fast and thorough response with every question. They are prompt and helpful. They did subcontract with another company for boots on the ground support but the hotel reservations and itinerary were in house. We would definitely use the natural adventure company again no question.

All the way through from booking, correspondence afterwards and now a wonderful holiday. The Natural Adventure have been helpful and have provided a brilliant holiday. The hikes each day are cracking, maps & routes are detailed and easy to follow. The hotels are great too. Completely love our holiday! Would definitely use The Natural Adventure again and recommend.

Really poor experience with my...

30-Jul-2024

Really poor experience with my recent Tour Du Mont Blanc trip. Our company contact Pierre was so unprofessional and did not care about the safety of travelers. On the second day he left to do a hike and we didn’t hear back until multiple days later. I experienced multiple travel delays which meant the loss of the prepaid travel arrangements and their solution was a 250 euro taxi to the hotel. Do not recommend.
