Reviews
We went as a family of four - with kids aged 13 and 7. (the little one shared the board with her mommy)
This is the first year that we really noticed that SUP boards could be a nice addition to our summer activities - so we arranged with Ivan a private tour with a quick course, just to feel out if this is a good fit for us, before buying a SUP board.
Ivan is an experienced guide and he will immediately find you a good fit regarding SUP size and paddle height. Course instructions are clear and he got us standing up after just five minutes on water. The whole tour is a mix of giving SUP driving instructions, providing interesting trivia about the location of lakes and giving you enough time to loosen up on the board with little swim brakes. The price of the course is not high, and we recommend to choose the 3 hour one as it is the sweet spot between learning something new and really chilling out on the lake without the need to watch for time on your clock. Just when you start to get a little tired of paddling - Ivan will take you to his hidden dock where you can recharge with fresh fruits and cold drinks. The place itself looks like a chill-out paradise, and you feel envy you don't have enough time to have a little nap on the hanging nets :) For those that feel really confident on the water he will show you some advanced paddle moves, and the most interesting move of them all - how to scare the seagulls from the lake :) After the tour ended - we felt confident that we can just rent SUP boards tomorrow by the hour and explore every part of the lake ourselves. We tried almost every beach activity, but this was definitely the highlight of the summer - cause it involved our whole family as a team. Even if you're not vacationing close to Bacina lakes, this tour alone is definitely worth the trip. Big thumbs up for the experience!
I really recommned the tour to people who like small adventures or just love the view of the nature.
