Discover the Hidden Beauties of the Soča: A Kayaking Adventure in Bovec
Experience the magic of Bovec and its surroundings in a unique way – by kayaking down the Soča River. This picturesque river, known for its emerald color and pure waters, is a popular destination for all lovers of water sports. Our experienced guides will safely lead you through exciting rapids, while you can enjoy spectacular views of the Julian Alps. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced kayaker, we adapt each descent to your abilities and wishes.
Kayaking down the Soča is not just a sporting activity, but an opportunity to connect with nature and recharge your energies. Our kayaking adventure on the Soča offers you a perfect escape from everyday life and a chance to experience true adrenaline excitement.
Kayaking is undoubtedly the most popular and interesting way to explore the Soča River. Just thinking about a kayak and the Soča might bring a smile to your face. You will truly feel the river as it guides you, yet also challenges your paddles. You will get along well if you cooperate with it. The guide, who is in the group with you in his own kayak, explains the basics of kayaking and the course of the trip at the beginning, and during the descent, he guides and ensures your safety.
Course of the Kayak Trip
We gather at our center (or elsewhere by arrangement), where the guide provides you with the appropriate mandatory equipment and explains the instructions regarding the kayak descent. Then, we will drive to the starting point of the descent in our van. Before starting, the guides teach you all about safety and paddling techniques with a kayak. Dressed in a neoprene suit, shoes, helmet, and vest, we will begin the adventure on the Soča River.
We sit in kayaks near the Boka waterfall, where we meet the Soča at its calmer part, and towards the end, we paddle in the deep, dark green Soča, where our hearts beat faster with numerous rapids.
