Nature's Ways Bovec

About Us

How it began

Born from a deep respect for wild rivers, Nature’s Ways brings adventure and care together. Founded by two local guides – Alan K., a former whitewater kayaker and Teo Ž., a canyoning expert and mountaineer, the company grew from shared passion and respect for nature.

Today we welcome guests from all over the world to experience the magic of the Soča Valley – responsibly and with heart.

And because nature gives us everything, we’re giving something back through Nature’s Ways For Nature. Because caring for nature isn’t just part of our name – it’s part of who we are.

Nature's Ways For Nature

We give back 1% or more of our revenue to protect the nature we work in. Our team takes regular action to care for the places we explore — from the emerald Soča River to its canyons, waterfalls, and trails.

Sustainability is more than a word for us — it’s a daily habit.
Running rafting and canyoning tours in one of Europe’s cleanest and most beautiful valleys comes with responsibility, and we take that seriously. Every booking helps us keep these places wild, clean, and alive

Our Actions

Throughout the season, our guides and staff take part in regular cleanup days across the Soča Valley. We collect litter and debris from:

  • riverbanks and rafting put-ins
  • canyoning access paths and waterfalls
  • nearby trails and Bike Park Bovec area

The equipment, logistics, and disposal needed to make them happen is funded directly through our tours. Your adventure helps protect the places that make it possible.

Beyond Clean Ups

Protecting nature is woven into everything we do — not just special events.
It is our commitment to:

  • Keep our groups small to minimise environmental impact
  • As guests in beautiful nature, we aim to leave no trace.
  • Properly maintain our equipment to extend its life
  • Optimise vehicle use to reduce emissions
  • Use environmentally friendly wetsuit-cleaning products, keeping our waterways clean
  • Choose local suppliers and sustainable materials whenever possible

Every detail matters — from how we run our tours to how we wash our gear. It’s all part of the same commitment: leaving the Soča as beautiful as we found it.

Smarter Operations

Over the last few years, we’ve shifted our operations to become almost completely paperless.
Booking confirmations, waivers, and tickets are now digital — reducing unnecessary printing and waste.

Our reception building is powered by solar panels, providing self-generated energy for lighting, office use, and daily operations.

We’ve replaced older shuttle vans with newer, more efficient vehicles that meet modern environmental standards.

In Good Hands, With Great Gear

Your safety comes first — always. All our guides are fully certified members of the Slovenian Rafting and Canyoning Associations, trained regularly in first aid and whitewater rescue. Every piece of equipment is carefully inspected, cleaned, and replaced whenever needed, ensuring comfort and confidence on every adventure. With our experienced team and top-quality gear, you can simply relax and enjoy the river and canyons — safely.
