About Us
Our Story
Hello, my name is Marko Hladnik. Before founding my own company, I worked for several outdoor adventure providers along the Soča River. Over the years, I gathered valuable experience and ideas about how to make these trips not only more enjoyable for our guests but also easier and more efficient for the guides. One of the biggest challenges in rafting, canyoning, and kayaking tours is organizing the equipment. It should be clean and dry, it must fit each guest properly, and ideally be ready without delays. In many operations, if a guest forgot something or needed to change a size, the whole group would have to wait while the right gear was brought over. To solve this, I decided to always bring all the equipment along. That’s why I built a custom-designed trailer that carries everything we need. This means no guest is ever left without the right wetsuit, helmet, or shoes. If something doesn’t fit, it’s immediately replaced on the spot. The trailer is equipped with a solar panel and a powerful fan to quickly dry the gear, so you can start your adventure comfortably. The Soča River is one of Europe’s most spectacular natural treasures and a world-class destination for outdoor activities. People come from near and far to experience its turquoise water, dramatic canyons, and unspoiled nature. We believe every trip should become a cherished memory. That’s why we capture photos and videos of your adventure with GoPro cameras, and we share them with you at no extra cost. We look forward to welcoming you on the river!

15 minutes before the agreed departure time.
We recommend morning or afternoon tours, as these are the least crowded. Midday tours are the most popular.
If it rains, there’s no reason to panic. You’ll only get wet twice – once from the river and once from the rain. With raindrops falling, you’ll feel like a child who doesn’t care about getting soaked. And honestly, how often in life do you get to feel like that?
One guide can take up to 8 people.
Leave your dry clothes in the van. The van will take you to the starting point of the activity and pick you up at the end point. Do not bring valuables with you. Leave your jewelry, watch, etc. in your room or apartment.
