The experience

If you want to experience the Soča river but aren’t looking for an adrenaline rush, look no further than this family Soča rafting tour.
 
Think of this as a sightseeing tour of the gorgeous emerald pools of the river. This section of the river is very gentle, offering a panoramic view of the Alps without any of the rough rapids. It is designed for people who want to enjoy the Soča river but feel safer on a calm ride. 
 
Whether you are bringing small children or you just aren’t comfortable swimming in deep water, this tour is for you. We paddle a little, float a lot, and enjoy the valley at a relaxed pace. It’s the only tour we offer where your heart rate stays below triple digits.

Requirements

We designed this rafting tour specifically for families with younger children (ages 5–7) or guests looking for a very gentle experience. For families with kids aged 8 and up who are comfortable in the water, we definitely recommend booking one of our more challenging tours.

Preparing for our rafting tours is simple! 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 technical gear, including a professional wetsuit, life vest, helmet, and neoprene boots. Just arrive in your normal clothes, and we will take care of the rest.

Basic swimming skills are recommended but not strictly required on this section of the Soča river. You will be equipped with a professional life vest that keeps you floating safely. Since this section is calm, we want you to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Soča river 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 with our gear! We provide thick wetsuits specially designed for colder spring weather and on those very cold days you’ll even get neoprene gloves to keep you warm. Spring or autumn often offer the most exciting rapids of the year and you’ll have the whole Soča river to yourself!

This section of the river is incredibly photogenic. We encourage you to bring a waterproof action camera (must be hands-free) to film your Soča river rafting adventure! Our helmets are equipped with GoPro mounts for convenience. We advise against bringing phones as they are easily lost or damaged in the water. Please remember, any camera gear you bring is at your own risk.

Yes, please do! The Soča river is too beautiful to take home a blurry memory. You are welcome to wear glasses during rafting on the Soča. We do advise that they are secured with a sports strap though. They are available at our meeting point.

Although the Soča River 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.
