The experience

If you would like to experience rafting on the Soča river to the fullest, you can choose the half-day rafting tour. We will start about 10 km upstream of the spot where we usually start with our classic whitewater rafting tour, which adds up to almost 20 km of rafting, surrounded by spectacular scenery of the Bovec basin. 

The half-day Soča rafting tour is only possible at a certain water level. That’s usually in the springtime or after a heavy rainfall. Please check availability using the booking calendar.

Requirements

Basic swimming skils are important. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable floating and moving in the river. We equip everyone with professional life vests, but to truly enjoy this trip without stress, you shouldn’t be afraid of the water. If you are on the fence about your skills, let’s chat before you book.

This 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!

You are welcome to bring a GoPro or similar waterproof action camera. Our helmets feature standard mounts for hands-free filming. To keep your phone safe from the water and rocks, we recommend leaving it behind. Please remember that bringing any camera on the river is at your own risk.

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

Yes!  We will team you up with other travelers to form a full crew. Because our groups are small and friendly, solo travelers often finish the trip with new friends.

Absolutely not! Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced paddler, our guides will teach you the necessary techniques. 

We believe this scenic tour is best enjoyed without the crowds. By keeping our teams small, we guarantee a peaceful journey so you can connect with nature, and enjoy the silence of the valley.

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.
