For your rafting trip in Bovec, you'll meet your guide at the activity center. After a safety briefing, you'll prepare your whitewater gear and head to the banks of the Soča River by transfer bus (10 minutes). Once settled in the raft with your team, you'll start with a few small rapids where you can practice your paddling technique. Starting in class II (rough water with maybe a few rocks and small falls), the river will pick up speed and become more challenging as the trip continues to reach class IV (whitewater, big waves, continuous rapids, big rocks).
Be prepared to get wet, but don't forget to have fun! This trip can be challenging, but it's just as rewarding. No previous experience is required, but an adventurous spirit is recommended. In spring, heavy rains combined with melting alpine snow guarantee high water levels with strong currents and big waves, making rafting in Bovec a very exciting time. In summer, the water level drops, making for a slower, calmer route, ideal for families.
Accompanied by professional and experienced guides, you'll be able to raft the Soča like a pro! Your instructor will be by your side throughout the trip to make sure you have a great time. What are you waiting for? Book this rafting excursion in Bovec now to discover the famous Soča with ease!
