Hi, I'm Attila! I have been doing rafting since 1998 on the Soca river in Slovenia. I also have an experience of work as a rafting and SUP guide in Richmond VA, USA. Doing rafting, canyoning, SUP and kayak trips have become my routine but most of the time I’m following the groups on the river and try to record your best moment as a photographer. I feel I’m lucky because my passion is my job. I like meeting new people all around the world and listen to their stories.

Route details

Our route for this picturesque raft will be 8-10 km on the river Soca. 

Start with changeing clothes before and after the trip at our base in a private room. 

Then go through a fun safety briefing and learn the basics: paddling techniques, river tips, and how to work as a team.

The river eases you in gently—practice your new skills on calm sections before hitting the longer, more thrilling stretches. 

Then we will navigate Class II-III rapids, splash through waves, and weave around big rocks in an open gorge that promises excitement at every turn.

Take breaks along the way to jump off rocks, swim in the current, or just soak in the alpine surroundings. Laugh, cheer, and bond as you ride the rapids together—you won’t leave dry! 

After the tour, have rest at our cafe and pick the photos to keep the memories with.
