Visit Skocjan Caves and Predjama on a Monday?

If I hire a private driver can I easily visit Skocjan Caves and Predjama Castle in 1 full day? If I want to see Postijna Caves is it possible to squeeze that in also? Not sure I want to visit 2 caves in 1 day but they both look so compelling! Or is seeing the Castle from the outside sufficient for most people and maybe I can drop that? Any companies that anyone likes? I am planning to go a Monday in May so you have an idea the season we are going.

Hi Jenn,

I did this half-day tour the day before the RS Adriatic tour started. I enjoyed it very much! The minivan picked me up half a block from the hotel. I was the only one in the minivan who went inside the castle, and I was glad I did. It wasn’t an expensive entrance, and the way its build is incorporated into the rock is very interesting, plus I took some nice photos of the view.

Ugh, it keeps trying to open the “Get Your Guide” app when I copy the link. It’s the “From Ljubliana: Postijna Cave & Predjama Castle Half-day tour”

I can only speak for visiting the Skocjan caves. We were there last month and it is absolutely not to be missed. Truly the highlight of our trip. It takes about two hours total - a 10-15 minute walk to and from the caves, and about an hour and a half inside. The Predjama castle is not very far away but closer to Postijna.
So yes, entirely doable in a day, and if you really like caves you should think about Postijna, but probably for most people Skocjan would be enough and seems to be more highly recommended than Postijna.
