Top Poprad Full-day Tours

It wasn't a planned trip for me and i just decided to go one day before and i can tell you it is totally worth it and it became a memorable life experience for me. For thoes who are adventurous and like wildlife and nature, this is the trip for you with no doubt. Erik was so awesome in explaining all the details and he has plenty of interesting information about bears, wildlife and Tatra mountains !It was my first time doing such a 19 KM hike up to 700 m above sea level, i totally recommend this trip for thoes who are physically fit and can walk for hours. Based on my analysis, It is an intermediate difficulty trip not an easy one.We have seen plenty of deers and a single intermediate-size bear 🐻 at the end of the trip. (At least we were lucky to see one)

My wife and I are from Singapore. We booked a bear watching hike with Erik in the Tatras mountains. Erik is an excellent guide who clearly cares a lot about the mountains and the animals living there. He speaks fluent English and is very friendly and knowledgeable. The binoculars which he provided to us for the hike were very good and we could see the bears through the lenses very clearly. We felt safe at all times, in large part because Erik ensured we practiced good bear watching etiquette. The hike itself was also very enjoyable as there were wild blueberries to eat along the way. The whole hike took about 8 hours. We saw 4 bears, a lone female and a mother with 2 cubs. Erik shot great videos which he shared with us after the trip. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves hiking and animals.

It was a breath taking experience to see wild bears live: feeling the spirit of freedom and peace in connection with them. Was not my last tour there, more the beginning of a lifelong tour with those beautiful proud beings. Comfortable boots are an advantage :-))

We spent a wonderful day hiking in the Tatra mountains with Erik. He picked a great trail for our activity level. We hiked 8 miles through the beautiful forest. We stopped for lunch at a chalet overlooking a lake. And we got rewarded for our efforts with cake and coffee at the end. Now we want to come back to Slovakia for the wildflowers and bear viewing trips. You cannot go wrong with doing anything with Adventoura !

The bear tour with Erik was a lot of fun. He kindly picked us up from our vacation spot and brought us back there, so we didn't have an extra trip. We were equipped with binoculars and walked up a really beautiful hiking trail. In the process, Erik kept giving us useful and interesting information about the forest, the mountains, but above all the bears. Although it was very hot on our day and it therefore took a while until we could see animals, Erik did not give up on looking for a bear with us, which we were then actually able to watch eating blueberries. It also helped that the group was kept very small so that time was taken for all questions and comments. It was an entertaining and very beautiful day in the High Tatras.

The tour was very good and Stephan a very good guide

It was really easy to figure out a route that fulfilled my wishes and ideas. The nature was awesome and we we walked a solid 12km hike through Slovensky Raj. Some facts about history and wildlife added to the wonderful experience which I highly recommend :)

Erik tailored our hike to exactly what we wanted - an experience in the High Tatras without killing ourselves. We had the perfect combination of a nice walk with spectacular views, an introduction to what it takes to be a ski jumper, and how to find bears in the Tatra forests. If you’re visiting in winter, go skiing, snow boarding or dog sledding with Erik! He speaks perfect English and has worked and traveled around the world. You’re in for a treat if you can spend some time in the High Tatras with Erik!

We had a great experience with Erik. We went with rented E-bikes on tour to see bears. Erik organized all and was really helpful in preparing. We met at 5am and started our tour. It was great, the beautiful calm nature. And we saw a female bear and her three cubs. It was amazing. Erik filmed it for us and sent the film after the tour to us. We also saw deers. It was so impressing. Erik told us a lot about bears and Tatra. We learned a lot and had fun. At the end of the trip we visited a beautiful waterfall. Finally we finished in a restaurant for coffee and cake. Thanks a lot for the trip and all the organisation! Marco and Myschka

I had the experience to make the tour with my family, husband and two kids. We learned a lot with Erik, the landscape was incredible beautiful and the atmosphere as well. Even with the bad weather, we enjoyed it very much and the kids could follow the group without problems. It was almost the last day of the season and unfortunately, the bears were shy this day. Even so, we had a great time in nature and it surely worth.

I had a fantastic bear watching hike in October with Adventoura Slovakia. Erik is an amazing guide, so friendly and knowledgeable and helpful We were very fortunate to spot two beautiful bears on our hike but just being out walking in the valley is fantastic as it is so stunning. We even had snow. Would highly recommend this hike.

We did a fantastic day trip with Eric in September. Eric is not only extremely knowledgeable but he is also very entertaining and passionate about the wildlife and the outdoors. We could not recommend his tour more highly and would have no hesitation in doing another trek with him.

Erik was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and just a good all round guy. He gave us a full day out in the mountains and we were lucky to see at least 4 bears, and three cubs. Get booked up - you won't be disappointed 😄

I really enjoyed the experience. I did the tour to see bears and the truth was amazing. The road is beautiful, and you make stops to look for bears. It was a very nice experience; I could see 8 bears; also the photographic record that the guide makes is spectacular. Recommended.

It's a privilege to see these shy animals in the wild. Of course there's no guarantee. We set off at 5 in the morning and had the beautiful valley to ourselves. Erik showed us evidence of bears, scratch marks, a looted bee nest and upturned stones and he interspersed our walk with interesting information and stories. After 7km we reached the end of the valley but no bears despite ideal conditions... We waited an hour, still nothing, headed back. We were disappointed but didn't give up, and then after 6 hours a bear was sighted. Very exciting! Erik guides the tour well but at the end of the day nature decides what we see. Be aware of that when you book. In the end we were lucky!

Great trip in a beautiful area! Eric, our guide, enthusiastically explained many things about bears along the way. At the top in a beautiful valley Eric spotted a bear and we stayed around for a while just observing it. Along the way spotted some red deer too. One of the best trips we ever had!
