Here is everything you need to know for a smooth visit.
Throughout the experience, your guide will share insights into bear biology, and forest ecology in Slovenia. You will return safely to Postojna around one to two hours after sunset.
The experience is organised by Be Around Me, a certified “Bear-Friendly” provider that follows strict guidelines for responsible bear watching. Responsible bear watching in Slovenia means observing wild brown bears in their natural habitat while prioritising animal welfare, visitor safety, and minimal disturbance to wildlife and the surrounding environment. Slovenia is home to a stable brown bear population of around 900 individuals, and bear-watching activities are carefully regulated to ensure they remain sustainable. All tours are led by licensed guides with extensive knowledge of bear behaviour and safety procedures.
To minimise disturbance to wildlife, group sizes are intentionally kept small, with 2 to 8 participants.
Bear sightings cannot be guaranteed, as wild animals are unpredictable.
