- youngworldtravelers0 contributionsFun Experience in Slovenia!Wow! What a cool experience and unique location. We went on this tour as part of our AdZENture week long adventure and it was super fun. The location Sebi picked out was great as he showed us some unique off the beaten path spots. Highly recommend! Super friendly staff and fun experience.Written 6 January 2025
- SouthLondonClare0 contributionsOutstanding, friendly, fun paddleboardingTruely outstanding four day paddleboarding trip taking in Lake Predil, the Soca RIver and the Weissensee lake in Austria. Our group from the UK also had opportunities to do white water paddling, paragliding and ziplining. We had fantastic t shirt weather right at the end of the season so the views, clear sky and warmth were a real bonus. Sebi and Marci are an incredible double-act. We all adored them both, they are so encouraging, supportive, smiley, fun and friendly. We had a lot of laughs and learned lots of new SUPing techniques too. Cannot thank them enough for sharing the beautiful country of Slovenia with us!Written 7 November 2024
- dorissO8098YC0 contributionsWhat a great experienceWhat a great adventure paddling whitewater on Soca river. Sebi did a brilliant job. First he explained everything in theory and checked all the equipment. Then we trained in an eddy and he checked one-to-one if everybody is prepared before we started paddling. I always felt very save on the Trip and Sebi is an excellent guide. Highly recommended to join one of his tours.Written 6 November 2024
- Sunshine186725032870 contributionsIncredible experienceAn incredible experience and felt very well looked after by Bovec SUP. The rapids were great and the back drop was stunning. Highly recommend!Written 3 November 2024
- _lmosk9930 contributionsHigly recommended, learn from the pros!I spend a two days training on the stunning Soca river. I could not find a better place to learn paddeling skills and enjoy my holidays. My guide, Sebestyén has a crazy amount of experience and luckily knows exactly how to teach. Sometimes I got the expression -when I take some service- they tend to be "too kind", yet you do not feel it would be honest. But not here! He truly loves what he is doing, everything is well organised, I felt all the time being in good hands. I'm sure I'll come back as soon as I can!Written 27 October 2024
- 343el_bietaj0 contributionsEnergy and relaxIt was a very relaxing and beautiful day. I recommend trips with Marci. Thanks to him, my daughter and I got to know Lake Predil and its less known surroundings. It was a trip for body and spirit, not only improving SUP technique but also communing with nature. Lots of positive energyWritten 2 August 2024

- julie s0 contributionsMulti day white waterWe did a 5 day white water vacation with sebi and matej (spelling?) they were the BEST. Was a little nervous not having my equipment and was soooo impressed with their boards and teaching. Made sure we were safe and comfortable with ever run, but still pushed us to become better . I learned so much and became a better white water person with their help. Would highly recommend this company.Written 1 June 2024

We felt relaxed and confident throughout the entire experience, and we especially want to thank Marci, who accompanied and taught us!Written 23 May 2024
- 361hayleyb0 contributionsStunning SloveniaHome from a fantastic week with my Paddle Pals in Slovenia 🇸🇮. We extended our Stand Up Paddleboarding with Ana trip by starting with a night in Venice and ending with a night in Lake Bled. We SUP'd, we rode e-bikes, we did white water rafting, we hiked and did zip lining high up in the mountains. We had the best instructor and guide Sebi from Bovec-sup who went above and beyond. Sebi helped us before we went out to Slovenia by recommending someone to help with our transfer from Bovec to Lake Bled, he booked our bikes and zip lining trips and adjusted our schedule to get the best from the slightly unseasonal weather. You could not get a nicer guy. Rachel was our host from the UK. She kept us informed, entertained and took some fabulous photos. The hotel was clean, modern, in a great location and the food was very good. I did activities out of my comfort zone and loved every minute. I would definitely recommend.Written 22 May 2024
- viktoriat5890 contributionsNature and safety on highest level experienceWell executed positive experience based whitewater paddle boarding. Excellent instructions, ultimate safety at the forefront. The guides are passionate to share their respect for nature and on-pass their high level paddling knowledge to visitors. Spectacular surrounding, whitewater at it's best. I also recommend to people with little experience.Written 22 May 2024

We did a half day SUP tour of Predil Lake. We had planned to SUP along the Soca River but it was too full because of recent thunderstorms. Sebastyén knows the area very well so he can always take you to a beautiful place for the conditions on the day.
The SUP boards he uses are very high quality, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. He even provided us with wetsuits, boots and a bottle of lemonade! We had a brief safety demo but Seb wasted no time getting us on the lake, where we paddled far, really improved our technique and learned some really fun things too. We had a break to walk up to a hidden waterfall, and then continued on the lake. At the end of the session we wanted to learn about SUP rescue techniques, so we had fun trying that too.
I recommend this SUP tour regardless of your experience level - our amazing guide will have something to teach everyone, in the most beautiful places in the world!
Sebastyén was the perfect guide and we will definitely be seeing him again in Bovec next year!

EN: We went on an emerald SUP and this was such an amazing experience! From the moment we met Sebastian he was very friendly and we had a great time, it seemed like we are paddleboarding with a good old friend. My partner never stepped foot on the paddleboard before and this was a perfect way to start, not only he stood up, he actually never fell in! Sebastian was amazing at celebrating our milestones on the board, no matter how big or small and we always felt like we were in good hands. The communication when booking was quick as well, I e-mailed them late in the evening and got a response immediately, we were in the water the next morning. The surroundings just take your breath away, a must see! Can’t recommend this experience enough, if you are still thinking about it, this is your sign to contact them, you will never regret this and it will enrich your journey so much!
LT: Nuostabi patirtis! Pasirinkome Emerald Tour, nes partneris niekada neplaukęs su irklente. Sebastian mus pasitiko su plačia šypsena ir gera nuotaika, dėl to plaukdami nuolat jautėmės kaip senų, gerų draugų kompanijoje. Džiaugėsi mūsų pasiekimais kartu su mumis ir mes nuolat žinojome, kad esame gerose rankose. Plaukiant prisižiūrėjome nerealių vaizdų, tikrai verta išbandyti, net ir pirmą kartą stovintiems ant lentos. Tikrai plaukčiau dar ir dar kartą, jei dar dvejojate, būtinai susisiekit, nepasigailėsit!

Where do I start ... this trip was amazing. Sebi as our guide was the best guide we could wish for - he was professional, we felt safe and he knew exactly what he was doing. But other than that he's also an awesome guy who we spent a great time with, had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.
He brought homemade snacks and lemonade for our trip, the time was flexibel (so we went in the afternoon - such a nice light at the river and not too crowded with kajakers and so on) and it was the best mix between learning something new and having a lot of fun on our SUPs.
If you're looking for an awesome trip with a great guide, super nice/professional equipment in a stunning area, soca valley, look no further - book this tour! :)

We hade a half day SUP experience on the Lago del Predil with my girlfriend. This was our first SUP expreience, but Sebi helped us a lot to learn it quickly. The scene around the lake is spectacular, and we also had a short tour on foot to a waterfall.
Sebi helped us to leave all our elecronics behind, and made all the photos for us, and he even prepared some delicious lemonade and some snacks.
All in all I could highly recommend this tour.
Next time we go there, we definitely will try riding the SUP on white water.

With only little SUP experience and a lot of respect for Whitewater, Sebestyén was helping me emphatically to overcome my fears. He knew perfectly how to prepare myself to feel safe and confident for the beginner Whitewater Tour by taking me on a flatwater tour before to explain the best technique in detail and to do the same during the Whitewater tour. My boyfriend, who usually finds flatwater SUP boring as he is more advanced and loves adventures, was joining me and improved as well a lot his technique and found both courses very useful and fun.
Therfor we highly recommend the tours for all levels of experience as Sebestyén is capable of training a whole group very individually at the same time.
Thank you,
Karsten & Andrea

It was an absolutely amazing experience. We started on a beautiful part of Soča river where the water has an incredible blue color. Then we continued to the parts where you can never go by foot. The nature there was amazing, listening to the sounds of birds while paddling was just so relaxing. Also we had lot's of fun on the water - jumping in the water and enjoying the sun on the private beach, where we relaxed. We were not cold at all because of the great equipment, they offer. The paddle boards and paddles were brand new and super easy to use. The neoprenes were also in perfect condition and made us feel comfortable and warm. Sebi and Veronika are an amazing couple and their presence made this trip even more beautiful. Sebi is a professional SUP rider and made us feel safe the whole journey. Also he gave us lot's of tips and advice so that we can improve on our paddle boards. Veronika was very nice and kindly made us lot's of pictures so that we can remember this experience for a lifetime. Also I was able to bring my dogs on the paddle board so that they could enjoy the trip with us. They were super excited! Highly recommended!

It was a great experience with the boards on soca river :-) I could join a group and Sebestyen led us to impressive places and is very attentive and kind. I really felt safe with him and one can feel that SUP is his passion.
I can totally recommend this activity, it was fun and informative. Also, the equipment was in good quality and making of contact was uncomplicated and reliable.
Will definitely book again, when I am in Bovec the next time.
Thanks Sebi!

Sebestyen is a competent and very motivating instructor. The tour starts on a lake and follows the dammed up river through a beautiful gorge: Although being close to a village we felt like on a different planet. Very recommendable especially on a rainy day: your neopren will keep you warm while dozens of waterfalls arise along the cliff.
If you have collected some experience on the board and look for more adrenaline try out his white water SUP-tour: memorable and very challenging.

As a group of four we booked a two days WhiteWaterSUP course with Bovec SUP.
Sebestyén the owner and our guide for these two days was the perfect host. With a warm and friendly welcome he introduced us to WhiteWater and Soça, handed out perfect and most modern neoprene and safety and paddle gear before we went on the water. With a lot of patience, fun and laughter we got introduced into WhiteWaterPaddeling.
We never had a moment of fear or of feeling insecure as Sebestyén had us all well prepared for the upcoming rapids. Then it was FUN!
The admin around our trip as i.e. answering questions and the booking process as well as being our private photographer. At the end of every day we got our set of action pictures and "movies".
This was an awesome and stimulating weekend. Thanks to Bovec SUP.

It is so hard to describe this program because it was so amazing. First of all the view was breath taking and the mountains that embrace the lake are beautiful. Secondly our guide Sebi is a very nice and very helpful person, feel free to contact him. To sum everything it was our first time trying paddle boarding and im sure that it wasnt the last.
Thank you Sebi
