From the initial booking process to the completion of our tour, we give five stars to Soca Rider. Petra made the booking process seamless, answered my many questions and prepared us completely for the trip! We loved the morning of rafting! The views on the river were stunning and our guide, Barnie, made the experience very enjoyable. In the afternoon, we went canyoning and can only say that this was unforgettable! Being in the river, using natural slides and climbing the rocks was exhilarating. We had the same guide in the afternoon and were very impressed by his professionalism and ability to make the trip both fun and safe! All necessary equipment was loaned to us for the excursions. All staff at the centre made us feel welcome. There are many companies in the Bovec area, but I can assure everyone that Soca Rider is extremely organized, professional and kind! We will be back! Thank you.

I was on rafting with my two teenage boys, we enjoyed the whole tour very much. It was tricky and sometimes little bit scary to row between such big rocks but our guide was so professional that we were in perfect safety all of the time. Thanks Laci! It was a lot of fun too with water fighting and sliding from the boat to the ice-cold water. Thanks Soca Riders!

Can highly recommend Soca Rider if you want to do some water activities on Soča River! We booked comfortably via email and everyone in the team is very nice, highly skilled - they know what they are doing! Perfect also for beginners. The equipment was also much better in comparison to other tour agencies that we saw along the River. We did rafting and canyoning and would absolutely do it all over again, especially with our guide Laszlo :)

Well organized, fun trip with experienced and reliable guides. Prepayment for the booking through the website was a little tricky but no big deal, and they also helped us with further tips and recommendations for other activities around Bovec. Strongly recommend.

Thanks to the whole Soca-Rider team! We enjoyed our kajak beginner tour and had a great time on the beautiful River.

We can fully recommend the Soca-Rider team. We started with safety instructions and payment before we drove some minutes by car together with our excellent kajak guide Lazi to the starting point. After short preparation, we did our first steps on the river before we started the 1.5h tour.

We tried 1st time rafting and this was really amazing. I recommend start at 17:00, because, when we started it wasn't spo hot and we were almost whole time alone on the river. We also received very good tips to spend our time in the very nice natur od Slovenia. For our kids (7,9,11) this was the Nr.1 experience from Slovenia. Thank you for that.

Dear Tomas! So good to hear, you had such a good time with us! You were a really good team! 5 o'clock tours are always good tours, as we are out of the crowd at this time and we can enjoy the pure nature almost alone on the river. Hope to see you next time again! Kind regards Petra and Soca Rider team

We went rafting and on a Kayak Tour. Both adventures were perfectly organized, the stuff was really professional and the scenery was breathtaking. If you want a ride without the big crowds, this crew is the right place to go with.

Great experience in a fantastic setting with beautiful scenery and river colors. The team has everything very well organized and the equipment is good. The raff master was very knowledgeable and very professional. We, party of 3, had a fantastic time. It was the highlight of our holiday for my son of 17!
