How I Ended Up Hooked on Whitewater 

It all started when someone handed me a paddle and said, “Just follow the current” — next thing I knew, I was training for the World Rafting Championships on the wild Salza River with the Hungarian women’s national team. One moment I was focused on serious training… the next, I was grinning like a kid on a water slide.

Turns out, I’m pretty good at getting splashed professionally — so good, in fact, that we paddled our way to winning the Rafting World Cup, and traveled the globe with our paddles: from China to Costa Rica to Bosnia (yes, the passport got wet).

When winter rolls in, you’ll find me chasing summer on the rivers of New Zealand. When Europe heats up, I’m usually splashing around the Soca or back on my first love, the Salza.

My biggest motivation? Sharing the pure joy of kayaking — because let’s be honest: life’s better when you’re a little wet and a lot wild

Meet Csaba, the worldly river virtuoso and seasoned adventurer with over 14 years of expertise navigating the scenic waters of Slovenia, Norway, Chile, England, Switzerland, and Washington state. Arned with a degree in Environmental Engineering and by his love for nature, Csaba realized that a conventional office job wasn’t his thing yet. Choosing a more fulfilling path embracing the great outdoors, he transformed into an enthusiastic outdoor activity guide. Csaba’s journey included a wild ride through courses.   Catch him in his natural habitat—the mountains—where he shares his love for the outdoors through activities like rafting, canyoning, kayaking, skiing, snowboarding, and his latest obsession, solo and tandem paragliding. Join Csaba on this wild, waterlogged, and occasionally airborne escapade where he blends expertise with a touch of humor, making the great outdoors accessible and enjoyable for all.

An absolute game changer! I have been paddling for some time now, but noone has ever had such a great impact on my kayaking as Zita! She knows exactly what to say, when to say and how to say it, and pushes you until you reach the best version of yourself. And does this in a safe environment, so that you feel absolutely secure even on a high grade river. She's the perfect choice if you want to level up while having fun and enjoying yourself at the same time! Zita, thank You for everything!

Ein tolles Erlebnis! Zita ist eine fantastische Guide. Sie war die ganze Zeit an unserer Seite und hat super Tipps gegeben. Dank ihr haben wir uns auch im lebhaften Wellengang stets sicher gefühlt. Wer in der Soča Spaß haben will, sollte sich das Erlebnis nicht entgehen lassen. Danke Zita! Wenn wir Slowenien noch einmal besuchen, sehen wir uns bestimmt wieder.

Great adventure with Zita who was very professional and friendly ! You're always in small groups of 4, which makes it really special and gives you more time to actually ride the river and not always wait for the others. Definitely go there !

Super leuke dubbel kayak tour met Zita gehad! Van te voren werden onze schoenmaten en lengtes gevraagd zodat ze de benodigde kleding mee kon nemen naar het afspreekpunt. We kregen een wetsuit, waterschoenen met goede grip en een helm. Zita legde alles heel duidelijk uit en had zelfs communicatie signalen voor op het water wat goed werkte. Naast dat ze een goede en gezellige gids is, maakt ze ook hele mooie (actie)foto’s! Heel leuk om zo terug te kijken op onze vakantie. Tijdens de tour is er nog een gelegenheid om te zwemmen en voor een sprong van een lage rots als je dit leuk vindt. Zou zeker weer een tour bij Zita boeken!

Had an amazing experience with Kayak Zone Bovec! Zita is a professional guide, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe throughout the trip. The scenery was stunning, and the entire adventure was both thrilling and fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the beautiful Soča river! Köszi Zita :)

Perfect experience, what a lovely guide we had. She learned us in 10 minutes how to use the kayak and took us down the river. 10/10 experience. I recommend going in may and june because the water level is higher. Still it was an amazing experience.

Un moment juste parfait pour s'amuser et découvrir la jolie rivière Soca. Zita, la monitrice, est adorable, pédagogue et fait tout pour que vous passiez un super moment. Vous pourrez aussi sauter des rochers si vous le souhaitez, vous baigner (avec les combinaisons, même pas froid)... Bref, je vous recommande vivement de faire appel à Zita ! Passez par son site internet directement, et contactez la via WhatsApp 😉

Wow! What an amazing experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish and Zita was a brilliant guide! I don’t think we have laughed so much for such a long time. So well organised. Zita is one of the nicest people we have ever met and she made this experience even better than we could have imagined. A true professional. Thank you so much and we highly recommend booking a Kayaking experience with Zita. 🙌 I’m sure our Kayaking skills (or lack of them) kept Zita entertained too. *****
