Nature in colour is the name under which Institute Symbiosis organises exclusive wildlife holidays and trips in Slovenia. We are a local social enterprise, dedicated to nature conservation and education and also a licensed tour operator. By developing ecotourism, we are seeking to preserve nature and provide new business opportunities for rural communities. All our tours are run by specialised naturalist guides, who take you to lesser-known areas and let you explore the diversity of animals and plants of Slovenia.
To be able to offer the best nature experience, most of our tours are designed for small groups of max 8 people. With larger groups, a second guide will be present. In nature we walk quietly and slowly, taking time to observe and photograph landscapes, plants and animals.
Slovenia is a small country, tucked between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. It is this geographic position which gives the country’s flora and fauna a special dimension. Only 0,004 % of the surface of the Earth is populated by 2 % of all land species.
We are specialised in nature guiding, biologists by profession and for more than 15 years dedicated to nature conservation in Slovenia. We will not only tell you which species you see, but tell many curious legends and first-hand stories about nature.
Nature in colour is the brand under which Institute Symbiosis is running ecotourism business. We are a non-profit company with a status of a social enterprise which underpins our commitment to work towards broad environmental and social goals. We invest our profits in nature conservation activities.
