Your Experience

From Krakow: Zakopane Full-Day Trip with Hot Springs, Cable Car, Cheese Tasting & Transfers

Escape the city and step into a world where misty mountain peaks meet warm wooden chalets and bubbling thermal pools. This isn’t just a day trip—it’s a journey through the heart of Poland’s Tatra Mountains, where every turn reveals a new story, a new flavor, or a breathtaking view. Let the crisp alpine air fill your lungs as you soak in hot springs, taste smoky oscillating cheese, and ride a cable car to heights that steal your breath away.

Tour Overview

Picture this: a cozy minibus winding through rolling hills, your guide sharing tales of highlanders and hidden valleys. You’ll start with the golden glow of Zakopane’s wooden architecture, then ascend to the clouds via cable car for panoramas that make you feel on top of the world. Later, you’ll melt into steaming thermal pools surrounded by snow-capped peaks, sipping herbal tea as the stress of everyday life dissolves. It’s a day of contrasts—adventure and relaxation, tradition and nature—all stitched together with the warmth of Polish hospitality.

Immersing in Terma Bania

Nestled at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, Terma Bania is more than a hot spring—it’s a sanctuary. Imagine slipping into warm, mineral-rich waters as the cool mountain breeze dances across your skin. Outside, the pools blend seamlessly with the landscape, offering views of forests and peaks that make time slow down. Whether you’re soaking under the open sky or unwinding in the aromatic saunas, every moment here feels like a gentle hug from nature itself.

Don’t forget to try the local herbal teas or a refreshing dip in the cooler pools—it’s all part of the ritual.

Memorable Moments

• The cable car ride to Gubałówka, where the world shrinks below you and the Tatras stretch endlessly—cameras can’t capture how small you feel (in the best way).
• Biting into oscypek, the smoky, salty sheep’s cheese grilled over an open fire, while a highlander in traditional dress shares stories of the old days.
• Floating in the outdoor thermal pools as the sunset paints the mountains in hues of pink and gold—pure magic.
• The quiet joy of strolling Krupówki Street, Zakopane’s lively heart, where wooden stalls sell handmade crafts and the scent of mulled wine lingers in the air.

This is more than a trip—it’s a day of laughter, wonder, and the kind of memories that stay with you long after you’ve left. Come see why the Tatras steal hearts. Your seat in the minibus is waiting.

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the heart of each destination, blending comfort with authentic experiences. Here’s what awaits you:

• Seamless private transport—whether it’s a vintage convertible winding through coastal roads, a traditional wooden boat gliding across emerald waters, or a comfortable minivan with panoramic windows, every ride is part of the adventure. Your driver isn’t just a guide but a storyteller, sharing hidden gems along the way.
• Daily breakfasts that celebrate local flavors: imagine steaming café con leche with buttery pastries in a sunlit plaza, tropical fruit platters bursting with colors you’ve never seen, or freshly baked bread still warm from a village oven. Many meals are shared with hosts who cook with generations of love in their recipes.
• A dedicated local guide who knows the soul of the place—not just the postcard sights. They’ll lead you through cobblestone alleys where artisans work, introduce you to their favorite street-food vendors, and share folklore that brings ruins and landscapes to life.
• Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the surface: a private flamenco performance in a candlelit tablao, a hands-on pottery workshop with a master craftsman, or an evening of stargazing with a Berber family under the Sahara’s endless sky. These are the moments that linger long after you return home.
• All entry fees and reservations handled effortlessly—no waiting in lines at ancient temples, historic palaces, or national parks. Skip the crowds and step straight into the wonder, with timed access to iconic sites when they’re bathed in golden-hour light.
• Thoughtful surprises along the way: a picnic basket filled with regional cheeses and wine at a hidden overlook, a handwritten note with a local legend left on your pillow, or a spontaneous detour to a festival where the whole town dances in the streets. Travel should feel magical, not scheduled.
• 24/7 support from a team who cares—whether it’s rearranging plans due to weather, recommending a last-minute spa visit, or simply offering a friendly voice when you need it. You’re never just a traveler; you’re our guest.
• A curated keepsake to take home: perhaps a handwoven textile from a women’s cooperative, a bottle of olive oil from the grove you visited, or a playlist of the music that moved you. Small tokens to remind you that some places don’t just leave memories—they change you.

Because the Best Journeys...

...aren’t measured by checklists, but by the stories you collect, the connections you make, and the ways the world feels a little bigger—and you, a little more alive—when you return.
