Ian Read
SUP experience really memorable!
On recent trip to Slovenia we booked 3 SUP tours with Bananaway and would highly recommend them as a company. All the instructors were great and worked hard to make our SUP experience really memorable. Their communication was great both before, during and after the SUP adventure sending on photos and videos afterwards. We particularly enjoyed the Soca valley.

We had really fun time!
We had really fun time with Spela and Iris exploring Lake Bled, Most na Soci and Ljubljana city centre. We learned some new skills while experiencing Slovenia's emerald-green and crystal clear waters on a SUP board. Both Spela and Iris are really nice and professional instructors. Thanks for the great days we had! :)
