Would you like to try something new, different from hydrospeed and kayak? Here is the novelty, a cross between the already known wild water vessels. The very name bellyak indicates that the basic position in this new hybrid is lying on the stomach, head forward, and hands are used as paddles. Dressed in a wetsuit, anorak, and flippers, you will battle the rapids of the Sava River, and on the calm parts of the Sava, you will admire the beauty of nature. On your adrenaline descent, a guide (in a kayak) will also be present to ensure fun and safely bring you to the destination. The descent lasts about an hour and is 5 kilometers long. Treat yourself to a fun adrenaline experience!
- Bellyak is 2.4 meters long and differs from hydrospeed mainly in that the legs are also positioned in the "cockpit", so paddling is done with hands instead of flippers.
- The advantage over hydrospeed is that it is less exposed to rocks.
- With a bellyak, you can navigate the rapids even if you don't know how to do an Eskimo roll, and paddling with hands is a natural movement that we do not need to learn or can be learned in the shortest time.
Course of the Bellyak Trip
We gather at the rafting center (or elsewhere by agreement), where the guide hands over the necessary mandatory equipment and explains the instructions for the descent. Then, we will drive our van to the starting point of the descent, which is at the confluence of the Sava Dolinka and Sava Bohinjka, 5 km from our center. Before starting, the guides teach you all about the techniques needed for a safe experience. You leave your clothes in our van. Dressed in a neoprene suit, shoes, helmet, and life jacket, we will begin the adventure on the Sava River. During the ride with bellyak, you will experience many adrenaline rapids and admire our beautiful Sava. This part of the river is not challenging, so it is also suitable for children over the age of 14. After a short break on land, we return to the boats and continue the descent towards the rafting center in Radovljica. At the destination, there is also the option of jumping from the bridge.
