We had a wonderful kayaking trip with Feli from Aktivni Planet on this most scenic and beautiful Soca river. She was really funny and motivating - so all of our beginners course had so much fun navigating the kayaks through easier but also quite challenging white water sections of the river!!! I totally enjoyed my first kayaking experience!!!

Wow what a fun afternoon!! Feli is an excellent instructor and such a nice person who made the whole experience even more fun and so patient and encouraging. I am still thinking about this afternoon, the activity was excellent and the scenery made it even more incredible.
Everything from arriving to leaving was perfectly organised and well thought through. I would highly recommend anyone to book this, it was my first time and I just had so much fun. I met some really lovely people in my group who all supported eachother when someone flipped over
Facilities to change into swimwear and even somewhere to grab a coffee or drink beforehand, aswell as parking
Book it, you won’t regret it!!!

Hi Ruth,Thank you so much for such an amazing review! 😊 We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic afternoon and that Feli made your first rafting experience even more enjoyable.We’re also really happy that you found everything well organised and convenient, from arrival to departure.Kind regards,Nina Aktivni planet team
Highly recommend this kayak trip for beginners/intermediates! Our guide, Jabok, was so patient, kind and encouraging and took the time to walk through each step of the kayaking process. It was our first time in a hard shell kayak. We lucked out and it was only my husband and I in the group. We learned a lot and would love to come back for the multi day lessons so we can learn how to kayak through class 3 rapids too. Thank you, Jabok and team!

Hi Julie,hank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re happy that you enjoyed your first experience in a hard-shell kayak and felt well supported by Jakob. We’d love to welcome you back for the multi-day course and some Class 3 rapids! 😊Nina Aktivni planet team
Our guide, Feli, was an outstanding instructor! She gave us just the right amount of information to help us be successful. Kayaking on the Soca River was a highlight of our trip to Slovenia. We had the best time ever.

Accueil, organisation, matériel, logistique, transport et staff excellents !
Les deux journées ont été différentes et largement à la hauteur de mes attentes.
Un excellent Kayaking tour à BOVEC, les sections sont conformes à ce que l'on attend et la SOCA vraiment magnifique.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren zwei Tageskurs mit Anna, .Wir (Familie mit drei Kindern, Jüngster gerade 12, alles blutige Anfänger ) fühlten uns zu jeder Zeit super bei ihr aufgehoben, klasse Tips, super Motivation, sie ist bei jedem auf die Stärken und Schwächen eingegangen, so dass wir am zweiten Tag schon richtig couragiert unterwegs waren. Der Kurs und vor allem Anna sind nur zu empfehlen, ein unvergessliches Erlebnis für die ganze Familie,
