Bovec rafting is one of the few adventures that’s still great on a rainy day. You’ll get wet anyway, and the Soča river is just as stunning in the rain.

Not at all. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced paddler, our guides will teach you the necessary techniques. 

The brilliant emerald is the natural state of the Soča river, and you will see it on most days. However, this is a wild, alpine environment. After heavy storms or during rapid snowmelt, the water may turn a milky turquoise or grey as the river carries sediment from the mountains. If you visit us during these times, you get to witness the raw power of the river in its wildest form, which is a unique experience in itself.

While you can raft on other Slovenian rivers, the Soča River in Bovec is widely regarded as the best location for rafting in Slovenia. This is because it is an alpine river fed by an underground lake, which ensures crystal clear, emerald water and reliable water levels for whitewater rafting throughout the entire season.
