We booked a tour for two in the morning. Communication was easy, got picked on time in Kobarid and got all equipment we needed. You drive to a parking lot, from there you walk uphill to your starting location, get dressed and get in the water. Our guide Dan did a great job explaining and taking us through the adventure. You jumb, climb, slide through the beatiful pools. We really enjoyed the whole experience, no complains at all. We would recommend getting the earliest tours and, if you can, only go with two people. It is not as hot and you won't get stuck behind other people or groups.

It was one of the best excursions I did in Ljubljana. We went to lots of places. You see Socka and Granjska Gora, but we actually went to lots of places where the Socka River/lake flows, each one more beautiful than the last. Highly recommended. The tour guide, Ziga, was really great with all the information he gave us and was very helpful when we asked questions or just wanted to chat.
