Rafting is much more than just paddling and hard work. There are parts where Soča river is quite calm and ideal for swimming with a few perfect rocks for jumping.
SIMPLE
Rafting on the Soča river is suitable for beginners and in the warm summer months also for children. We will provide all the equipment and take care of the organization.
SAFE
You will not be left alone to guide a raft down the Soča river rapids. There’s a professional guide at the back of each boat to make sure you relax and enjoy your trip.

HOW IT GOES
BEFORE YOU COME

And find perfect activities for you. Rafting will take about 3 hours of your time so you can add another activity on the same day. But, if your wish-list is longer you just email us all the activities you’d like to do and we’ll prepare a program for you. Just don’t plan more than 2 activities in one day.

Booking a tour in advance is always a good idea. You don’t want to spoil your day with complications like “sorry, but we’re completely full today”. Besides it’s good that we know you’re coming. So we can organize our team, polish the boats, make sure our guides are shaved and gear room smells of fresh roses.

GETTING ON THE SOČA RIVER
There’s a big parking in front of the Bovec Rafting Team sports center. There you will leave your car. You won’t need it until the end of your rafting trip. We will take you to the starting point on the Soča river and then back to Bovec with our vans and buses.
STILL ON SHORE
You will change to neoprene suits. Don’t worry about the silly outfit. We all look the same on the river. You will leave your clothes and towels in our van or bus. Just before you start with crazy paddling the guide will also explain the basics of whitewater safety and show you what the paddle is for.
FUN ON THE RIVER
The first part of the tour is more calm and slow. You will have the chance to practice paddling. On the middle the guides will stop the boats for you to jump off the rocks and swim a little. The second part of the river is then more dynamic. The rapids get up to the difficulty level III.
WHEN OUT OF THE RIVER
Help your guide carry the raft back to the parking lot. No excuse here!
The vans will already be there with your dry clothes. When you’re ready we’ll drive you back to our sports center.
AFTER YOUR RAFTING TOUR
GET PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM YOUR RAFTING TOUR
Your guide will take his GoPro camera on the river. After the trip we will send you all the photos and videos from the trip for free. So, stop at our office and leave your e-mail. We will send you a link as soon as photos and videos are uploaded to a cloud gallery.
