      Amazing experience!
      My husband planned this canyoning activity for us & I was very, very nervous! The hike up wasn't fun, but it was so worth it! I wound up having an absolute blast & it turned out to be my favorite thing we did on our trip to Slovenia! Our guide, Mirka, was amazing! She was patient, knowledgeable, helpful, so sweet, & spoke great English! We didn't want the adventure to end!

      Canyoning Adventure
      The Canyoning Trip was a real adventure - if you get the chance to do to this once in your life, then you probably have chosen an ideal opportunity with the Fratarica tour to experience the full scope: sliding, jumping, abseiling in 45m waterfall... we had no experience but felt safe 100% at all times in our guides, Tamaš, most experienced hands... Thank you very much!!!

      No Slovenian language
      I was very disappointed and shocked because no one at the reception or the guide knew a word of Slovenian, which is completely unacceptable in Slovenia! It is serious discrimination against Slovenians, so it would be necessary to ban them from being punished and prohibited from performing an activity. With this, they seriously threaten the safety of all residents of Slovenia who do not know a foreign language!

      It was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed it. Our instructor was very nice—she explained everything clearly at the beginning and took good care of us in the canyon. I will definitely come back for the next levels.

      The rafting tour was really well organised. From signing a waiver to getting us out in the car on time, to teaching us how to raft the river technically correctly whilst having fun; it was amazing, slightly challenging and a fun ride those 3 hours. We even had a dog with us on our trip and they arranged a dog sitter for us. At the end they uploaded photos of the whole trip online for free, which was an extra surprising bonus. Great solid company, highly recommended! Thanks for a great half-day with you guys!

      Superb experience for adventures people
      We done rafting and canyoning in Fratarica. Both attractions and guides (Tim and Bjorn) were superb! We got great proffesional equipment. Everything was explained properly, we felt safe and we had really great fun. Additionally, we got free great photos and videos (especially from canyoning) as during rafting it's hard to get the photos except start point, ent point and one middle point. I can only recommend them. Fully satisfied!

      We were in a group of 15 (!!) people and took us 5.5 hours, mostly waiting
      We went with a group of 15 people (with 2 guides though) but this was way too big. It took us 5.5 hours and most of the time we were waiting, in the water, out the water. The guides were great. Bit because there was a group of 9 friends in our group they didn’t want to split the group since there cannot be 1 guide on 9 people. They should have put an extra guide on the group or informed upfront. When I did the check in they said that the group would be split. This was such a shame and spoilt our fun and took away the adventure. We planned our stay in Slovenia around this but won’t book with this organization again.

      I have a slight fear of heights, but I felt safe throughout the entire journey. Tamas, our guide is well-experienced and diligently ensures that everyone follows safety procedures. The canyon itself is stunning, and I highly recommend it to everyone

    In short: Amazing, Recomend it to everyone! :)

    A little bit detailed: Me and my girlfriend went rafting with Natue way's agency and it was an awesome experience. The profesionalism and kindness of Teo and Špela were top notch! Even just driving with a van to the gear pick-up place and later on to the starting point of the rafting gives you good vibes and you just know it's gonna be an awesome experience. And that's all thanks to Teo and Špela who are really talkative and tell you amazing facts about the place and keep a good atmosphere in the van, despite you having to wear the mask (damn you covid!)
    Špela really nicely and understandingly explained the rules and off we were! She guided the whole route amazingly and made sure the ride was fun and entertaining! Additionaly I would like to give her credit and my gratitude, for encouraging me to try the front flip, to which I almost chickened out, but she insisted, so I tried it and made it! Sooo, thanks again Špela for encouraging me to try it! :D And yea there is a place on route where you can jump in the water using a boat as a makeshift trampoline :D!
    So to sum up, we really had an amazing experience with the Nature's Way agency and I sincerely recommend it to everyone - couples, families, individuals.. You will definitely enjoy it! and you get some pictures for the memories of this amazing day!

    Whitewater rafting was the most exiting adventure in the trip for our girls. The rafting guide managed to pass successfully all obstacles even though we are not experienced at rafting.
    At the end we had hard time to carry the boat up the way to the car, not a simple task for groop of girls. An ATV and a cart would have saved me from back ache.

    Hello, Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the rafting tour. You could have opted out of carrying the boat if you thought it was too difficult for you. An ATV would not be an option to replace the 150m of carrying the raft since the trail is quite narrow and we are in the middle of the wilderness so we try to preserve nature as much as we can. Best regards, Alan

    We had a great time with the team of Nature's ways on rafting. We were lucky to have perfect water level, so our experience with rafting was really great. I do recommend to go on rafting with Nature's ways as all guys are very professional, nice and make you feel good and safe. If you are travelling in beautiful Soča valley, adventure with Nature's ways it's a must to do it. They have also other activities which I will definitely try next time :)

    After we did the canyoning tour in 2020, it should be the rafting this year. And the decision was absolutely right. Not only is the Soča with its clear, turquoise water incredibly beautiful, but the rafting itself with our guide Franco was also a lot of fun. There was something about everything: Quiet passages to enjoy the scenery, jumps from rocks and slides over the upturned boat, rapid rides through the rocks and swimming in the quite cold Soča (but with the equipment no problem). We can definitely recommend rafting with Nature’s Ways!

    The picture in the review was taken by Nature’s Ways. You get the pictures after the tour and have such a nice memory.

    We had a wonderful time, everything was perfectly well organized and the team was highly professional and extremely friendly. Our guide Tim made it very exciting and lots of fun while making us feel safe. Everybody on the boat had a good time and we laughed a lot. We can highly recommend this company!

    We had a very funny cool guide with good Rafting skills. The soca valley is a beautiful location for rafting and for beginners of rafting. We also did some activities like springing from a rock and changing positions.

    My wife and I did this excursion in June, 2022. The experience was really 5 stars (excellent). It was fun, exciting, and my wife loved it. The equipment and staff were amazing.

    I took away a star for two reasons...

    I arrived with every possible connection for my Go Pro camera and was told "We are going to another location to pick up the equipment. You don't need any attachments - just bring your camera." When I arrived, the equipment had nothing to hold my camera.

    The site took pictures of the rafts and people. All the pictures were from far away and poor quality. At least the pictures were free. If they used a better camera (they used an old iPhone), they could charge for the pictures.

    After such a nice experience, having no pictures to remember the event left me a bit sour.

    Hello, thank you for your review. I want to mention that we only provide helmets with GoPro mounts. That's something we explain to every guest trying to use their own cameras on the tours. Also, after arriving at the "equipment place" you never mentioned to us that you need something to attach your camera to. That could have been easily resolved if you had told us you would like to attach your camera to the helmet, as we could have stoped at your car so you could take all the necessary camera parts. About the quality of the photos. First I want to mention that none of our guides or photographers use an "old iPhone". That's a bit misleading. The photos we provide are free of charge for a reason. They are meant as a free souvenir of the tour and we always try to take as many photos as possible, so that you have at least a few good ones. Of course, you shouldn't expect professional high-quality photos. The main job of our guides is to guide you safely down the river, whether rafting or canyoning. The free photos are just an add-on. We're glad you enjoyed your tour! :)

    We went as a family to develop the rafting activity in Soca. It is a more than recommended experience. It was super fun and our instructor Álvaro was very educational and friendly. The water, although it was cold, as we were very well equipped (everything is provided by the company, except the swimsuit, which is our own) was very good, although the day was not sunny. Everything was very well organized and they also take photos that they later send for download. Its price has been quite fair. We will be back!!!!

    We have had an amazing experience rafting Soca river with Nature’s Ways. Not only rafting, but also the stops on the river and the slides and jumps were so much fun. All the guides were extremely nice, professional and helpful. They also paid special attention towards separating the group over the different rafts. For example, all families were in one raft. Everyone had an experience that fit their needs.
    Special thanks to our instructor Tim! You made our rafting experience so fun!
