Discovering the Slovenian coast by stand-up paddleboarding is one of the best ways to do it. Paddling over the crystal water of Moon bay under big cliffs or just having a relaxing paddle passing the old city center of Piran. In the journey, you can include stand-up paddle boarding by ordering a board for yourself. Decide where you would like to go or use our knowledge to get a recommendation tip. You will get the stand-up paddle board ready to go at the place and hour of your choice. When you finish, just leave the board in the same place or in the arranged place. Possibly in a different location (very useful for one-way trips from town to town/beach to beach). All of the stand-up paddle boards are always maintained and kept in great shape, so you do not have to worry about anything, except enjoying yourself and taking some good photos. The van is ready to bring the boards to you wherever you are for no extra cost.
