Why go on a Fun kayaking Sava river tour with us?

✔️ Go down the Sava River in a kayak and during a one-hour journey observe the beautiful alpine nature on a riverside with its white pebble beaches

✔️ Master basic kayaking techniques on calm waters and more adventurous rapids

✔️ An experienced guide in a kayak will take care of your safety on the water

✔️ Set out on your first kayaking adventure on the river section with a difficulty level 2-3 out of 5

What to expect on the Fun kayaking Sava river adventure?

Throughout the Sava River kayaking tour, you will be accompanied by a guide in a kayak, giving you instructions and taking care of your safety. A guide will also teach you how to paddle on calm waters and more adventurous rapids and how to paddle when trying to get out of the counterflow. A guide will also show you an eskimo turn and other rowing techniques. If you wish, you can freshen up in the river and jump into river pools. After an hour on the water, you will reach the exit point where you will pull your kayak ashore. You will pick up your belongings from a van and change into dry clothes. A driver will take you back to Bled or your accommodation in Bled.

An Unforgettable Kayaking Adventure on the River

In a kayak built for one, you will navigate through the calm river sections and encounter smaller rapids. The current will carry you 5 kilometers down the riverbed. You can steer your journey using a paddle. Throughout the adventure, you will be accompanied by an experienced guide in a separate kayak, who will provide instructions and ensure your safety. Expect to get wet during this kayaking excursion, but you’ll also have opportunities to dive into a river pool, or take a break on the riverside if needed. After an hour on the river, you will reach an exit point and pull the kayaks to the shore. You will then change into dry clothes and drive back to Bled with your guide.

When can you join the Fun Kayaking Sava River Tour?

The Sava River kayaking tour is available twice a day every day from April to October. We need a minimum of 2 participants to carry out the trip. You can choose from a morning available term starting at 11:00 from Bled and an afternoon tour starting at 14:00 from Bled. In the spring and autumn months, the activity is more abundant with adrenaline, as the river has higher water levels and therefore more rapids.
The tour offers an excellent opportunity for everyone who would like to try kayaking on the alpine river rapids and learn basic rowing techniques and turns. The tour is suitable for experienced sports enthusiasts as well as for beginners. There are some restrictions due to kayak size and capacity. Limitations include a maximum height of 190 cm and a maximum weight of 120 kilograms. With a guide, you can arrange that he will be taking photos of you during a tour. We can send the images on your email address or Wetransfer site or we can upload the files to a USB key when you return to our office. An additional charge for photographing and pictures is 10 €.
