Haute Tatras: Votre Aventure Ours Exclusive & Randonnée Sauvage!

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 😄

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!

Great morning with Eric in Slovakia finding bears. It took us a while to find them but we ended up seeing two adult bears and watched them for an hour or so. It was a great experience and Eric was brilliant telling us all about the bears and was good at finding them. Definitely would recommend to a friend.

Awesome. The walk was beautiful. We saw evidence of bears with hair stuck to trees they had been scratching against, and then saw a mother and two cubs. We also saw a number of beautiful deer and Chamois. Martin was really knowledgable and worked tirelessly to help us see some bears. Very happy.

An excellent activity to do in the high tatras. We were due to go a day earlier but the weather was bad so was rescheduled. Erik picked us up from our hotel in Strbske pleso and after a short drive we parked up and headed up the trail into the forest. Very quickly we saw a brown bear just off the trail. Crouching down we watched the bear clawing a fallen tree long enough to get some video before it took off into the forest. We walked on into the valley and beyond with Erik giving us all the information on the bears and answering all our questions. Erik was just great, engaging with the adults and the youngsters and getting us all scanning the valley and hillsides for bears. Everyone loved it!

Amazing trek to watch bears. Erik was a brilliant party leader, we hiked 14km total and spent an hour watching six bears on two hill sides at the top. The scenery was amazing, like someone had planted the route. It’s a decent climb so go prepared, water, snacks, waterproofs and a jumper. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would use Erik’s services again on one of his many trips.

I had the amazing chance to join Erik in the field for this tour. As a wildlife photographer and conservationist I can guarentee you, that you can´t get a more intense and pure nature experience than going on a trip with Erik. His knowledge about the bears of High Tatra/ Slovakia is outstanding, he is always focused on the well-being of the group, makes many stops for interesting explanations and spotting the animals. On this tour you can see birds, deer, ibex and of course BEARS! We had the fortune to see a big male and a whole family of mama bear with her 3 cubs. Erik rounds up the whole nature experience with his kind character and knowledge. I can´t recommend this trip enough! Go and see for yourself- you won´t regret it. Thank you for this memorable day Erik :) Adrian

The area we hiked was beautiful. Our guide gave us a feeling of safety. Bears were a bit far away, but hey, that is nature. Its not something you can control. Would definitely recommend it.
