The experience

The Fratarica canyoning tour will take you through a canyon that has it all: cool jumps, slides, high rappels and crystal clear water. Adrenaline seekers should definitely give this canyon a try, even if you don’t have previous canyoning experience.

Located in the heart of the Triglav National Park, this canyon is one of the most scenic and picturesque natural wonders near Bovec. Fratarica canyoning features nice slides and jumps into crystal clear emerald pools and two extra high waterfalls – 15m and 45m. For these two waterfalls, we will use rope techniques to rappel down and they are guaranteed to get your heart racing. 

If you have time to do only one canyoning tour while in Bovec, look no further than canyoning in Fratarica canyon!

Requirements

Getting ready for our canyoning tours is easy! You only need to bring a swimsuit (to wear under the wetsuit) and a towel for after the trip. We ensure you are fully equipped with all necessary gear, including a warm wetsuit, canyoning harness, helmet, and canyoning shoes. Just arrive in your normal clothes, and we will take care of the rest.

You don’t need perfect technique, just basic water confidence. The pools in the Fratarica canyon can be deep but they are small. Your thick wetsuit also acts like a personal floatation device, keeping you on the surface effortlessly. 

A little rain won’t stop the adventure. Canyoning in the Fratarica gorge is actually one of the few outdoor activities that remains great in light or moderate rain. We monitor the water level and weather forecast constantly for your safety. Unless there is a heavy storm, your tour is a go, but if we need to cancel, you will be the first to know.

Not with our gear! We provide extra-thick wetsuits and neoprene gloves specifically for these months. You’ll stay warm while enjoying the Fratarica canyon at its most beautiful and most quiet. Warm gear, no crowds!

Not at all! We highly recommend Fratarica canyoning for first-timers who are looking for a truly exciting experience. While it features higher waterfalls and more adrenaline than the beginner tour, you do not need prior technical knowledge. If you are active and adventurous, this is the best possible way to start your canyoning journey.

That’s no problem. All jumps and slides in the Fratarica canyon have a rope alternative. If you are not comfortable taking the leap, our guides will lower you down with the rope, allowing you to navigate the waterfalls at your own pace.

Trust us, you won’t be bored! Canyoning in Fratarica is visually stunning and technically diverse. The famous 45-meter “Parabola” waterfall and awesome slides and jumps offer a genuine challenge. It is widely considered the most beautiful and dynamic experience in the Soča valley, offering plenty of thrills even for seasoned adventurers.

It can be – as long as everyone is at least 13 years old and feeling adventurous. For families with younger children, we would suggest our beginner canyoning tour instead.

You are welcome to bring a waterproof camera like a GoPro. Our helmets have standard mounts for hands-free filming. We do not recommend bringing phones, even in waterproof cases, as they can get damaged against the rocks. Please note that bringing any camera is at your own risk.

Seeing clearly is important. So yes, you are welcome to wear them – properly secured using a sports strap for glasses (we have some available). Another excellent option for canyoning is to wear contact lenses combined with swimming goggles. 

Small groups mean better quality. We keep our Fratarica canyoning tours to a maximum of 8 people to ensure personal attention.

Bringing 9, 10 or 12 friends? No problem! We will provide two guides just for your group. You will stick together in your own exclusive group.

Although the Soča Valley is one of the cleanest in the world, preserving it requires an ongoing effort.

Our tours run during quieter times, follow a leave-no-trace approach, and we commit 1% of each booking to support regular clean-ups of the Soča riverbanks, access paths, and surrounding areas carried out by our own team.
