Find your flow and become your own master of the rapids! Two hours of kayaking on Sava river might not be enough to make you a pro, but you will surely learn the basics while enjoying the beautiful scenery around you. A guide will be there to make sure you don't overhydrate and drift too far away. First-time paddlers will learn the basic techniques before we descend down the river. A local river is a perfect place for beginners as well as intermediate kayakers.

Highly recommended! Breathtaking nature. Our guide was super friendly and competent. Although we were beginners, we never felt uncomfortable at any point. It was a gift for my girlfriend and it went down very well.
Fun and exciting kayaking experience!

We were looking for a bit more of a challenge as we’d done kayaking a few times before and this was a great step up! The parts where there were rapids weren’t extreme but enough to make you fall off if you weren’t aware of what you were doing. There were also some quieter parts of the river to kayak down and since we followed the current, it wasn’t too tiring either. Our guide was very friendly and helpful, and the pick up/drop off went very smooth also - would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience and highly recommended to all, even if you have no prior experience of kayaking. Mitja, my guide, was great - friendly and professional. He took me through all I would need to know before getting into the kayak, and made sure all my safety gear was properly worn before setting off on the river. Once on the river, he pointed out interesting sights along the way, whilst still ensuring I knew at all times what to do and how best to ride the rapids without capsizing! The Sava river valley is in itself a beautiful place, and seeing it from the river itself just made it all the more special. Thank you Mitja!
Amazing safe experience

The kayak trip was a nice mix between calm and medium fast water. The trip is doable for al ages. The guide knew what he was doing and taught us well. He also gave us some advise for other nice locations.

We chose to go on a kayaking tour in Beautiful Lake Bled. It exceeded our expectations. The tour picked us up at our hotel and took us to the river. The neoprene suits, helmets, water shoes and life jackets were all provided. All you need is your swimsuit. The river was amazing! We were first time kayakers, and the level two Rapids were perfect for an adrenaline rush but not so difficult that we felt any danger. A little concentration, practice steering our kayaks, and a willingness to get wet made this an exciting and memorable tour! Beautiful surroundings, fun activity, and REFRESHING 16'C water!! Highly recommend
