“They cancelled on me yesterday because they didn’t have enough people sign up and haven’t given a refund as of yet. They ignore my messages asking for a refund and when I contacted viatour they said they can’t refund until they hear from the tour company. Viator is a disgrace and I will never use them again”
Inflatable sit-on-top kayaking on Slovenia’s Soca River in Bovec. 3 hours with guide, equipment, transport, English available.

“This was one of the best experiences we’ve had traveling to Europe. Our guide Flo was an expert at his sport and made everyone on the tour feel comfortable with kayaking rapids. He shared information about the area and answered any questions we had. The experience was simply unforgettable. The scenery going down the river was breathtaking. Would recommend 100%!”
Kayak the Soča River from Čezsoča 71 with a licensed English guide, gear included, beginner to advanced runs, plus free photos.
“The kayaking itself took around 1.5-2 hours I think. The water was beautiful (crystal-blue) and so clean that it was even drinkable. There were almost no other people on the river and the immediate area around it which allowed for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We always felt in safe hands with our guide. The only negative aspect was that even though we were told on the booking receipt that we‘d be contacted by our guide in advance regarding our pick-up, we didn‘t hear anything and also they didn‘t seem aware that we were supposed to be picked up. Luckily enough though there was still enough time for them to…”

Learn kayaking on the Soča River in Bovec with a small-group course, transport included, and rapids from Class I to V.
“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!!!”
Kayak in Slovenia's Black Hole mines from Bled. Small-group adventure with headlamps, mine cart descent, pickup, and all gear included.
“This was more than expected! The drive through Slovenia and Austria to reach the mine was so picturesque and made even better with both the information provided by our driver Sasha, and the stops we made en route on the mountain passes. The black hole kayaking was so much fun, being allowed to go off "on our own" to explore the passages in the dark. Be prepared for walking up and down some steps to reach the kayaking stage but the lunch afterwards was a nice treat and they catered for gluten-free guests excellently too.”
