Matic Kayak Soca Review:
Matic, the owner of Kayak Soca is an inspired whitewater kayaker enjoying his life and sharing his passion in the beautiful Soca Valley. He speaks... read more perfect English and some German and knows his valley very well.
I was looking for a unique 4 day experience and Matic worked with me to organize a custom extended kayaking weekend. It was perfect. We paddled everyday and nearly all sections of the Soca River. If you’re interested in alternative whitewater sessions, he’s a great person to connect with. He also kayaks internationally and has a slalom kayaking background and both of these experiences show up on and off the river.
Matic has a great inventory of cutting edge and up to date whitewater gear. He works with kayaking manufacturers on boat development and while I was there I was able to test the new Wavesport Phoenix. I also tried the Waka OG and Gangsta. He mostly paddled the Pyranha Ripper. I generally never test out boats, so that was a great feature that he has to offer.
Soca Valley is beautiful and Matic showed me some “hidden/secret” waterfalls, caves, whitewater lines and boofs. We also explored some of the small villages and their local food specialties. He’s also very skilled technically and has a deep understanding of class V water. If you want tips he’ll give them, if not he’s happy to just kayak and have fun. He’ll even try to photograph some of your boofs.
If you’re looking for the ultimate kayak guide, I strongly recommend Matic, whether it’s in Soca Valley or possibly somewhere else. He knows his stuff. But what’s really impressive and contagious is his passion for water, nature and whitewater. He’s living his version of the whitewater kayaker and it was great to participate and have four days of authentic inspiration.

Matic and his colleague Oliver are very reliable and supportive. I did a 3 days group course, private Eskimo rolling course and, finally, a private family tour on Soca with... read more them. They were always on time and also offered to pick me up and drop me off sometimes at the camping place where we stayed. Matic and Oliver are really good in motivating and keeping a good atmosphere on and outside the water. They also offered to join for lunch or dinner in a restaurant after kayaking, which we very appreciated. I can recommend Kayak Soca for everybody who wants to experience Soca in a safe and exciting way. I also recommend to bring some flexibility from your side regarding the appointments for kayaking. During the high season the work load for Soca Kayak team is enormous, so it's good if you can offer them some flexibility for arranging the time on the water. Enjoy!!!
