I've been rafting with X-point probably 4-5 times over the last 8 years and keep coming back.
This week I branched out with a friend and went Canyoning and had an ABSOLUTE BLAST with Tin!!
It was the most fun I've had in a very long time! There is a meeting and gear check at the top of the trail/canyon to give an overview of what to expect. They try to keep the group small (ours was only five) so no one is rushed. Especially nice if you need more time to gather courage to jump in some places.
Tin was an incredibly competent guide and I felt very confident in his capabilities. He was basically a water mountain goat. He would belay the last of the group down, gather the gear, get himself down (usually by jumping!) and then spring to the front practically before anyone realized we were on the move again!
Tin always made sure to explain the method of descent before each part (slide, belay, jump, guided rope, etc) and remind us to plug our nose/cross the arms/etc. Then, he would patiently explain it again to me almost every time because I was laughing and having so much fun! (Sorry Tin!)
He was also able to take pictures of us, which was awesome because you do NOT want to be messing with a phone on this adventure!
The only "bad" thing was the 475 steps (probably, I didn't count) at the very beginning of the hike to the starting point. Good cardio though.
I've never had a guide from X point who was anything less than stellar, starting with my very first rafting guide, Damien, 8 years ago!
The family/relaxing float rafting trip is wonderful for those less-adventurous folks and younger kids who still want to enjoy the absolutely gorgeous beauty of the Sôca Valley. The classic float is a blast for older kids and adults alike! Sometimes the water level can determine the adventure, but there's nothing to be done about drought years.
All in all, X-point is a fantastic start-to-finish adventuring company (providing gear, equipment, and transportation) with competent, safety-minded guides and LOTS of adventures to...
Read moreMy partner and me enjoyed 3 trips with X Point - both canyoning trips and a rafting tour. We enjoyed all of them, but especially the advanced canyoning due to the magnificent scenery and the thrilling jumps. The team is very welcoming and well-organized. Especially the boss, Dejan, is always up for a good story and a laugh. Sadly the Soča does not have a lot of water in it this year so the rafting tour had one or the other complication - but that’s not caused by the guides! Special greetings go out to Tomaš, who has been the friendliest guide ever - we will miss you 😊 we would always come back and enjoy another trip with...
Read moreI can't recommend this company enough, I first used x-point last August & when I told my friends about Slovenia & what it had to offer I reached out to Damien. He was helpful from the start & advised on flights & accommodation. Damien & his team have been faultless throughout our trip & have gone above and beyond to make our trip amazing. The instructor Tine is a true asset to the company, he is full of enthusiasm & made our whole group feel comfortable with all of the activities he was leading. I will be returning to Slovenia again & won't think twice to reach out to this company. Thankyou for making our...
