Petra’s goal is to create a life she truly enjoys, and she’s well on her way. With experience in various fields, she found her true calling in tourism, where every day feels like a journey. She takes care of inquiries, helps you choose the perfect activity, and leads revitalizing yoga classes. Her yoga journey started in Spain and deepened in India, becoming a life-changing passion she now loves to share. But beyond yoga, she thrives on meeting travelers and bringing new ideas to life.

Tjaž sees canyons as more than just landscapes—they're places full of beauty and diversity, something he’s eager to share on his tours. His journey started on the slopes as a ski instructor, teaching families and kids through the winter. Drawn to the ocean, he earned an Assistant Instructor license and guided dives on the Slovenian coast, with a dream of becoming a Scuba Instructor. Meeting Petra shifted his path from the sea to the mountains, where he first tried canyoning in Fratarica—the same adventure you can experience with us. Instantly hooked, he immersed himself in guiding canyoning and rafting tours, combining his love for nature and adventure.

Abby is the smallest on the team but has the biggest personality. She spends most of her time climbing trees, doing what she loves most.
