⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Beginner Kayak Tour on the Sava River! Our guided whitewater kayak tour on the Sava River in Slovenia was an unforgettable experience! As beginners, we weren’t sure what to expect, but our guide was absolutely outstanding—patient, encouraging, and a truly gifted teacher. He made us feel confident on the water right from the start, with just the right mix of instruction, safety, and fun. The Sava River itself is stunning—clear, cool water winding through lush alpine scenery, with mountain views around every bend. The rapids were perfect for first-timers: enough of a thrill to get your heart racing, but completely manageable thanks to expert guidance. We left the tour feeling accomplished, a little wet, and totally exhilarated. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try whitewater kayaking in a beautiful, peaceful, and well-supported environment. Five stars all the way!
