Typical Excursion; Pick you up directly at 9am (10am if its particularly cold on the day, its slightly warmer by 10am!!) from your Chalet or Hotel, drive from Bansko to Dobrinishte cross country. On the way stop for a cultural visit to the Church up in the Mountains and visit the Archaeological site / Excavations. Then walk a short way to a fantastic viewing point near the top of the water fall, great views to be had (it's a great photo opportunity) then walk down to the Waterfall. Then over to Banya of if the full day back in the Jeep to Dobrinishte (for a warm up) see the town. If time clients have time to buy a hot drink / beer, a snack if they would like to. Then back in the Jeep, 4x4 over to Banya, through a stream and then a river, potential if time to stop at a small Cafe at the Banya baths (snack / hot drink) and then back to Bansko via the secret lake.
*All Day Safari; On this trip you do the excursion as explained above but we also if we have time go up into the Hills on logging trails so its 4x4ing and getting right into the hills and mountains. Sometimes we do not see anybody, just nature and the "logging track".
NOTE; The jeep is open and you are exposed to the elements, sun, warm, cold, rain.
Summer Safari's - rain jacket (just in case) sun cream / sun block & water are advised on the day.
Winter Safari's, a winter Jacket, Hat and Gloves are recommended as you will be outside all day
Also we recommend walking Shoes or Boots are worn on the day to visit the Archaeological remains, Church & Water falls.
