Our whitewater kayak tour is perfect for those who don’t have any kayaking experience, but would like to explore the Soca river while paddling around. If you don’t want to take a kayak course, but would rather jump straight in and navigate on your own, our whitewater kayak tour is what you’re searching for!

These kayaks will give you a fun ride, challenge you, most probably get you wet, and ensure big, big smiles at the end of your trip!

You only need a few minutes to learn how to navigate the kayaks, and with a little more practice you’re off to the bigger rapids! Our professional kayaking instructors take care of you throughout, at the put in place teach you some technics how to steer the kayaks.

The tour goes on an awesome scenic section of the Soča river, where the first stretch is calm water with some small rapids, this can be good for practicing, and later on you can choose more challenging lines and bigger waves as well, or just go on the easiest line.

At all times your instructor will keep a practiced eye on how you are going. If you flip anyway, do not worry, you just jump back to your kayak and enjoy the rest of your rapids.

Please note, that swimming ability is required from all the participant, and you can not take part on the tour if you are under the influence of drogs, alcohol or if you are pregnant due to safety reasons.

Csaszi is one of the owner, working every day on the river, part of every tour, so definitely you will meet him! He has more than 24 years of guiding experience. He was working as raft guide and kayak instructor in Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, and as a safety kayaker in Chile. He loves kayaking. He was kayaking in many European countries, and recently made Kayak Expeditions in Peru (Rio Cotahuasi - 5 days, Rio Colca - 2 days, Rio Apurimac 3 days, and Rio Maranon 10 days.) He has a good sense of humor and very patient with our guests. In his freetime (when he is not kayaking:) he goes mountain biking (his brand new passion), canyoning, hiking with his family or sewing professional canyoning bags.

Petra is the other owner, making all the logistics in the company. When you write an email, she will reply, when you make a call, she will answer, Definitely you meet her in Soca Rider Base. In her freetime (as a mum of 2 kids, there's not a lot of it..) she goes hiking up to the mountains, riding a bike, ski touring and ski running in the winter. She also does kayaking on Soča river, but her main passion is sea kayaking. She made longer tours in Indonesia (Raja Ampat, Papua) and in Europe (Croatian, Italy, Albania)
