The experience

If you want to experience rafting on the Soča River to the fullest, this is it – the longest rafting experience in the Bovec area.

We start deep in the Upper Soča Valley, right at the edge of Triglav National Park. There’s no warm-up. From the beginning, you paddle through fun, splashy rapids that wake everyone up.

After the first adrenaline rush, the river opens into the wide Bovec basin. The water slows down, giving you time to relax, enjoy the views of the Julian Alps, and catch your breath. Then the Soča river changes pace again with more waves and playful whitewater.

This tour covers nearly 20 km and feels like a real river journey, perfect for active people who want more than just a short rafting trip.

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.
