What Meals are included?

+
Your Slovenian Photo Adventure includes most meals (except where noted), those prepared by your hosts as well as meals out at restaurants. You will be asked to provide any special dietary restrictions before the start of your retreat so we are able to accommodate your requests.

We ARE able to accommodate any dietary restrictions on this AdZENture as long as it's noted on the Guest Form.

Please note: if you choose to select a specific diet, special meals will be prepared just for you and that is what you will be served. Changes may not be possible on short notice.

Example: "I don't eat seafood" means that our chef will design a special, non-seafood dish just for you when the rest of the guests will receive a seafood meal. You will not be able to 'try' the seafood dish as these meals are made to order specifically for each guest. Thank you for your understanding.

Can you provide a detailed itinerary?

+
A SAMPLE itinerary can be found above on this Confirmation Page - please note that this is a draft and we will likely be updating the day-to-day to best align with the weather and our partners. You can refer to this DRAFT itinerary and reach out with any questions.

+
We have two accommodation options for this AdZENture:
  • Private room with private bathroom

    • In one accommodation, there are two shared rooms that share a detached common bathroom

What can I expect for this AdZENture?

We will spend our mornings enjoying a slow start with delicious, local foods for breakfast and an all-levels, optional yoga practice. Our days will include a variety of adventures in the mountains and in the valley and villages. All activities are available to everyone with a moderate level of fitness and no prior experience or knowledge is necessary to participate in what we have planned.

It is required that all guests are able to manage walking on uneven surfaces (trails, cobblestone streets, etc.) and are able to walk for 1-2 hours consecutively in order to get the most out of this experience.

Can I opt out of an experience?

+
EVERY single experience is optional. Your hosts chose the experiences on this retreat based on firsthand experience and the unique value each holds for guests. Guests are able to 'choose your own AdZENture' by opting out of any experience.

Guests are required to be respectful to all other guests, hosts and staff at all times and are expected to be mindful of their personal alcohol consumption.

What should I know about mobility and stamina requirements?

+
This experience requires good mobility and stamina with the ability to navigate the cobblestone streets of small villages throughout our tour. Centuries-old buildings might have high thresholds to step over, steep and/or narrow stairways to climb with no elevator access, and lack customary US safety controls such as hand railings. Excursions are in rural areas with dirt roads and require the ability to walk on uneven surfaces.

What do I need for Insurance?

+
Our Photo AdZENture in Slovenia is quite active, we do require proof of international medical coverage for all guests. It's possible that your primary insurance holder covers international medical emergencies. Please verify that you have international coverage and provide the policy information in the Guest Form that you receive after submitting your deposit.

Travel insurance is also suggested in the unfortunate instance that guests have to cancel their trip for any reason and are unable to receive a refund from AdZENtures. Please refer to our refund and cancellation policy for more information.

If guests are unable to join the retreat, travel insurance will often issue a refund when purchased within 7 days of the original purchase. We advise that all guests book travel insurance within a week of submitting your deposit for your AdZENture in order to protect your investment!

Medical coverage is required. Travel insurance is not required, it's suggested. Travel insurance often includes air transport in the case of an emergency. Please ask us if you have questions about this and your AdZENtures team can give you some suggestions!
