5.00Friendly and with many good vibes, she guided us confidently and safely through the Soca. Anytime again! A tip: book directly with the organizer and not through a provider or campsite. A tip: book directly with the organizer and not through a provider or campsite. You can save €35.

5.00I contacted the organizer beforehand to inform them of my previous kayaking experience. They teamed me up with another person of similar experience. Our guide was great! The difficulty was to our level and I learned a lot during the two days. The kayaks and other equipment was in great condition.

Fantastic kayak trip

5.00The whole experience was excellent from beginning to end. We booked with the campsite and the company picked us up promptly in the morning. We were then taken to the centre to get kit and boats and then to the river. It was all very slick and professional. Our coach was very friendly and once ready to get on the water she gave an excellent briefing and was super supportive and encouraging throughout the session. We were a party of 4 (2 beginners and 2 experienced paddlers) and Fee (our coach) focused on the beginners, teaching skills to help them navigate safely. The scenery was also absolutely stunning. We would highly recommend this company if you want to kayak.

5.00I did three days of Kayak school with Aktivni Planet and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. All the equipment was great, I felt very safe and improved heaps through the three days from never having Kayaked before to doing Class II rapids with confidence. I have to shout out Feli and Jaka, all fantastic instructors who know how to teach as well as they know how to kayak! A very experienced team, you can't go wrong. I'll be back for a longer course for sure.
Best day of a great holiday

5.00Absolutely loved it. It was my first time in a kayak and I was a bit nervous. Our guide Feli was great in explaining the basics to us, but also in making everybody feel comfortable. The landscape is absolutely amazing and the length of the trip (about 3 hours), for me, was ideal for a beginner's course. I would love to go on the follow up course; but unfortunately it's the end of our stay here.
