About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mealsfor20 contributionsFantastic SUP tour in Lake Bled!Fantastic SUP tour in Bled! Anja was our fantastic guide, she taught us the basics of the SUP to begin with, then we set off for beautiful Bled island. We are new to SUP but she put us at ease, and also taught us nice facts about Slovenia :-) We had some time in Bled island as part of the tour, and even had some time to jump into the water and have a nice cooling swim on a hot day. Anja also took lots of nice photos of us, and made it a very fun experience indeed! Chris & Hannah the happy honeymoonersWritten July 11, 2023
- lorenzoaY5393FS0 contributionsBled island by SUPThe all expierience was great! Guides were amazing! professional and nice! Fun plays in the water. Amazing visit of the island! Suggestion: Put the sunscreen on!Written July 8, 2023
- Zrouhana0 contributionsBe prepared to have a lot of fun !Amazing guides ( Spela and Veronika ), they go above and beyond to make your trip enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this adventure ( and any activity with Bananaway ). Spela went on the sup and brought us dumplings that we ate while “ supping “….how cool is that ?Written June 29, 2022
- fppisarna0 contributionsSUP tour through Dolenjska JoungleThe SUP tour on hot Sunday through the Dolenjska jungle was an exciting and at times also an adrenaline experience. Expedition leader Amanda has proven to be a true leader you can trust in a given situation; it’s like a mouse that isn’t there when everything goes smoothly on one side. But on the other hand, when it is necessary to take command, all of a sudden her strong voice appears and we all listen. Looking forward next time traveling with Amanda and Banaway in Slo or abroad. I highly recommend it. MatjažWritten August 13, 2020
- tadejag9_0 contributionsPerfect summer SUP adventure in Dolenjska region, Slovenia!Just had a great jungle paddle board adventure on rivers Temenica and Krka with Bananaway. It was most fun couple of hours, enjoying every moment of it. Our guide Amanda took great care of us. Had a really great time and can't wait to go on another paddle-boarding trip again:)Written July 28, 2020
- 151spelas0 contributionsSlovenian jungle SUP Tour: a must if you like adventurous paddle-boarding!In july 2020 I went on my first SUP Tour with Bananaway. Destination: Dolenjska region, where you are paddle-boarding on rivers Temenica and Krka and where you get a feeling that you are traveling through Slovenian jungle. A really special experience. I enjoyed every moment. Organization of the tour was great as well as our instructor Amanda. If you're looking for the best paddle-boarding tours in Slovenia, you should go with Bananaway!Written July 28, 2020
- brankoz8520 contributionspoetryPaddling SUP in the channels of Venice is the unique experience, and un unusual perspective to see this beautyful city in the meadle of gondolas and bridges. Amanda is the guide that provides you with security and pleasant humor. Definitely to recommend.Written July 3, 2020
- Pilu200 contributionsGreat day on a SUP in VeniceA remarkable experience, visit the unique city of Venice from a different point of view...Paddling in the channels, passing under the bridges, avoiding the gondolas observing the facades... safely guided by Amanda. Definitely to recommend.Written July 1, 2020
- kanja890 contributionsSUP at Lake CerknicaWe had a really nice couple of hours on SUP tour on Lake Cerknica. Paddling over the flooden meadow was an interesting experience. Our instructor Amanda was very friendly and we also did some joga on the paddle board. Suitable for beginners. The banana we received at the end was a nice addition :).Written June 20, 2020
- Connector7605660 contributionsGreat SUP experience at Cerknica lakeWe really enjoyed our SUP experience at Cerknica lake. It was my first time on a SUP and didnt really know what to expect, but our instructor Amanda was super nice, explained us basics of SUP paddling and made it very easy for me to start. Looking forward to go on another adventure with Bananaway:)Written June 20, 2020
- Lotusinthemeadow0 contributionsMagical lake in CerknicaIt was a magical experience on Cerknica lake with Bananaway SUP. It was approximately two hours lasting tour, we were on paddle board paddling over flooden meadows with view on nearby hill Slivnica. The instructor was really friendly and helpful, we even did some yoga postures on the board. A perfect way to relax and do sth for yourself.Written June 19, 2020
- Tadej_Hhh0 contributionsSUP in Venice - Must do for any paddlerWonderful, unique and fun way to experience Venice. A full day trip with a good 5 to 6 hours of paddling. There are a lot of bridges that require ducking, squatting and kneeling to go under, boat traffic to avoid, and the occasional easy bump from fellow paddlers, so definitely not for a first time paddler. Be alert, know how to stop, know how to turn, and listen to your guides. But it's an easy pace, so if you are confident and realistic about your ability, there's absolutely no reason not to go on this trip and experience the canals in a way that very few do. The guides from Bananaway are great. Amanda is a confident, relaxed and fun leader, just the kind you need to feel at ease while paddling among the many boats and gondolas. And Urban a good navigator and adding the occasional fun history fact. Definitely a good guide duo. p.s. don't be too surprised to see tourists taking your picture on every bridge. A bigger and more unique attraction than even gondolas apparently!Written September 3, 2019

- DanielAppenzell0 contributionsHighlight of our trip to LjubljanaDear Nusa, thanks for all. The SUP-Tour with you was really the highlight of our 4-day trip to Ljubljana. Nusa was very sympatic, the material was perfect, the weather wonderful. We had a lot of fun! Thank you and all the best. Daniel and seven friends.Written June 25, 2019
- pjgb20170 contributionsStunning scenery!Our private tour on the Soca river, to Tolmin Gorge and Kozjak waterfall was the highlight of our trip to Slovenia! Iris, in the office, was very helpful when planning our trip and was very flexible when we needed to postpone it due to the weather. Bananaway even offered to drop us at the airport so we could spend as much time as possible exploring on our last day. Nusa, our guide, was enthusiastic, friendly, punctual, fluent in English and a delight to spend time with. The Soca river was breathtakingly beautiful and the gorge and the waterfall were gorgeous. We had a very peaceful and pleasurable day. We highly recommend it!Written May 8, 2019

My friends gave me a gift coupon for Stand-Up Paddle Boarding with Bananaway and I joined their tour on Ljubljanica river in the city center Ljubljana in July 2020. It was my first time on a paddle board and I LOVED IT :o)! Our instructor Spela was super nice and she explained perfectly how to use the paddle board. Once we were on the river she guided us through the new experience and the entire group had a fantastic time. Thank you so much you guys and I will definitely join your tours again, soon!

We organized a bachelorette party for a friend and wanted to take her for stand up paddling. From the possible offers, we chose Bananaway. Instructor Jan took us for a nice tour to the city center - I think all of us who attended, spent at least some years living in Ljubljana, but seeing it from a new perspective was really great! :)
And Jan made a bunch of nice photos, we also drank Champagne by the Tripple bridge. Great new experience! :D

I booked the starter Tour-it was my first time ever for stand up paddling. Our coach Zala did a very good job explaining everything and giving some extra information and facts about the city.
Also we tried a few challenges on the boards for extra fun, but nobody was pushed to to anything.
The view from the river to the old city of Ljubljana is wonderful, especially in the evening. All in all I can just recommend this tour.

We had a great SUP tour of Ljubljana with Naja. The communication and organisation was excellent beforehand. We got to use 5 super stable and excellent Red SUP boards. Naja was really friendly and great at going through some of the highlights and history of Ljubljana. She also took time to take lots of phots and a really nice touch was that these were provided free rather than the usual expectation that you need to pay for them. We would highly recommend Naja and Bananaway tours if you want to do a SUP tour of Ljubljana.

My partner and I had phenomenal experience with Bananaway. Our instructor, Matt Švraka, was very helpful in teaching us the basics for 10 mins before we got in the water, and then showed us how to get on / out of the water and how to handle waves from other entities in the water. The water was great and Ljubljana is actually in the process of continuing to clean the river! Matt was a testament to this as he picked out litter (although there was very little) to help do his part. As for the actual tour itself, we started a little bit outside of the old town and then made our way all the way to the central market. Matt eloquently described the historical significance of buildings / bridges / cultural experiences of the city as we passed them. He was also brave enough to take his phone with him and snapped some incredible photos of me and my partner. I would highly recommend this experience to people who want to explore Ljubljana in a more active manner with a local who knows the ins and outs of Slovenia! The equipment was also fantastic, and a great introduction to paddle boarding (my partner and I had never paddle boarded before and it was very quick to get on the water and paddling confidently). The pace of the paddling was very leisurely and not strenuous.

Today we took a SUP tour with Maya to explore the wildness of Ljubljana. It was a wonderful experience to see the green sides of the city - Maya was telling us interesting facts about Ljubljana und Slovenia as well as teaching us some cool tricks how to use the SUP. We had a joyful time on und in the river of Ljubljanica and would definitely recommend this tour.

Great thing to do as a family with teenagers. No previous experience didn’t matter as Naja from bananaway gave us a quick lesson which got us all up and going. What a nice friendly and chatty guide for our paddle along the river, mixing history, with answering our questions about modern Slovenia and giving us a few additional hints and tips to improve our paddle boarding. Would recommend Naja and bananaways as a fab way to do something different and see the Ljbuljana from a different angle

I did the tour with Jure and it was spectacular! Although the river current was a bit strong due to a storm the day before, he made every effort to make the activity as enjoyable as possible. You can ask him any questions about the history of the city, the surrounding nature and he has funny stories to tell as well.
Highly recommended!

We booked a SUP paddle board tour as part of our honeymoon. Naja was really good at explaining the basics and how to transition between kneeling and standing up. She was very encouraging and helpful, and made sure we had a really enjoyable time. It’s also a really fun way to explore the city of you want something different from the usual boat tours. Thanks!

We had a super cool two-hour paddle tour through beautiful Ljubljana with our SUP guide Matt. Matt told us a lot about the buildings of the city as well as the history during the tour and gave us useful "must do's" for Slovenia after the tour. We can only recommend Stand-up Paddle and would book a tour ourselves at any time.
