Rafting Adventure on the Soča
Rafting on the Soča River in Bovec is not just a sporting activity, but a true adventure that combines enjoyment in pristine nature with an adrenaline-filled descent through wild waters. Our guides, experts in rapids, will safely lead you through a spectacular water maze carved by the Soča River in the heart of the Julian Alps. Along the way, you will be able to observe stunning landscapes surrounding this beautiful river, from green forests to high mountain peaks.
Fun, team spirit, adrenaline, and views of the beautiful Soča valley - you can hardly expect more. Rafting is suitable for almost everyone, as no technical knowledge is needed, but you must be able to swim and be ready for a great adventure! Rafting is a team sport, and to enjoy it to the fullest, you will cooperate with your team on the boat. In addition to the guide, there are at least two people on the raft, but no more than eight. Larger groups are of course divided into an appropriate number of rafts. The Soča River has different difficulty levels, so we can adjust the descent to suit visitors, aligning abilities and desires of guests and river conditions.
The rafting descent on the Boka/Srpenica to Trnovo ob Soči section is a classic descent that starts calmly and escalates into an adrenaline climax. We start near the magnificent Boka and surrounded by beautiful views, we finally break through to the wild rapids that make our blood rush.
Course of the Rafting Trip
We gather at the rafting center (or elsewhere by arrangement), where the guide provides you with the necessary mandatory equipment and explains the instructions for the rafting descent. Then we will drive to the start of the descent. Before starting, the guides teach you all about safety and techniques for steering and paddling with the raft. You leave your clothes in our van. Dressed in a wetsuit, shoes, helmet, and vest, we begin the adventure on the Soča River, which stretches over more than 10 kilometers, from the beautiful Boka waterfall to the village of Trnovo ob Soči. The unforgettable trip starts just a stone's throw from Boka, the largest and most water-rich waterfall in Slovenia. At the beginning of our active rafting adventure in Bovec, we enter the leisurely and crystal-clear Soča with our boats. Our special and safe rubber boats sway with the currents to the point where the river Učje Soči adds some water mass and thus we slowly but excitingly increase speed and excitement.
Along the way, the Great Baba Kanin mountain watches us with a vigilant eye. As we see the steep slopes of Krn in front of us, the green banks begin to narrow, so our experienced guides, with your help, skillfully dodge rocks and other traps. Our active descent ends with disembarking in the idyllic village of Trnovo ob Soči.
The Soča River valley, with its picturesque and pristine nature, is a paradise for spending free time. Rafting offers a unique experience for all generations. On the rapids of the emerald river, we can enjoy the beauty of nature while strengthening team spirit.
