YOUR GUIDE: ANDREJ TRNKOCZY

 

My name is Andrej Trnkoczy, an experienced whitewater guide living in the breathtaking Bovec valley. Growing up in Ljubljana, Slovenia, I spent most of my childhood in the Trenta valley, where my family’s weekend house was located. We spent a lot of time next to the Soča river, where we learned to row in my father’s kayak. During my teenage years, I became passionate about exploring the wilderness of the Julian Alps and trying out different sports. In 2018, I decided to pursue my dreams and moved to Bovec to work as a whitewater guide on the Soča river. Soon after, I realized I wanted to start my own business. While paddleboarding was already popular, it was not well represented in the region, so I decided to open the Bovec stand-up paddleboarding agency. Since then, guiding people and teaching them to paddle correctly has been my passion, and it allows me to fulfill my life’s calling of making people have a good time being active in nature. My knowledge enables me to provide a professional and safe paddling experience for you to enjoy to the fullest. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, I will help you master the art of stand-up paddleboarding and make your trip to the Soča river unforgettable. Join me for a thrilling and exciting adventure through the beautiful Soča Valley!
