Paddle the turquoise Soča through quiet gorges on a private half-day SUP tour from Bovec, with gear, instruction, transport, and snacks included.

“The SUP Tour on the Soča was simply awesome! From start to finish, everything was totally straightforward – from booking to returning the equipment. You immediately notice that there are real professionals at work here who know what they are doing without losing sight of the fun. The team was super cool, warm and absolutely helpful. Even at the welcome it was clear: Here, the focus is on people, not mass handling, but real passion for sport and nature.

“We had such a great time on our walking tour. Peter was amazing and we learnt lots about the history of Ljubljana. For 2 people who didn’t know a lot about Slovenia before arriving, he was able to give us brief histories of key events to help give context to what we were doing. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who has a couple of hours to spare in Ljubljana.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 118 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $199

Learn to clean, fillet, and cook Adriatic seafood with Irena at Fonda Fish Garden near Portorož, followed by a fresh Mediterranean meal.

“Irena's dedication to the sea, the environment and the produce we worked with is truly remarkable and takes this experience to the next level. I've always been somewhat apprehensive when it came to handling fish but through this workshop I gained knowledge that empowered me to venture into cooking with fish more. Did I mention that the workshop took place under a pine tree by the sea? The authentic surroundings made the time stand still while we worked on our food which turned out absolutely delicious. Loved every minute of this experience”

“Tao was an outstanding person to show us and introduce us to Ljubljana. Not only was he extremely communicative, but he was a wealth of information. It was a lie and personal tour telling us a lot of history and pointing out things we would have never noticed or seen. He also recommended the Friday night food celebration as well as a Saturday mornings, farmers markets. He went over and above what was expected and I could not recommend Tao or this agency more. Enjoy this beautiful city and the beautiful people that live here.Read more”

“My husband and I loved this walk. It was perfect and away from the tourist crowd. Promo was a fabulous guide with lots of local knowledge and very patient waiting whilst we took photos and stopped for a breath. The scenery was fantastic! I would recommend this for anyone visiting lake Bled wanting to escape the tourists for a couple of hours. I'd say moderate fitness as some parts challenging but my husband and I are 50 and managed this with a little challenge but not too much. Great start to our day.”
