DESCRIPTION:

Original pr1motours.com flagship tour of Black Hole Kayaking™ is an unique tour of underground adventure! Experience the kayaking below the ground from Bled and explore abandoned mines in complete darkness, with only the illumination of headlights to light your way. Kayaking equipment is provided.

After a scenic drive for couple hours, we will reach the site, where you will be briefed by our expert guide. The entrance will be done with still original mining train ride for about 15 min of an extra excitement, to about 600 m below the ground. A short hike and a climb over some steep stairs about 95 m lower and back up after is included as well. Sit-on-top kayaks will be awaiting you on the bottom of the mine, which was flooded after mining was abandoned and get the chance to explore various passages and galleries. You will spend about four hours in the mine and from that, about one hour on the kayak. It's a dynamic activity, with a bit of hiking, paddling, some stairs, so you are never cold! The whole equipment will be provided, like drysuits with boots, helmets, headlights, gloves, life vest, etc. The tour lasts for about eight hours in total.
