Fun kayaking Sava river
Overview
The Sava is one of the longest rivers in Europe and among a handful of European rivers of that length that do not drain directly into a sea. There are several sports and recreational grounds located on the river. Tacen Whitewater Course, located on the right bank of the Sava in the Tacen suburb of Ljubljana, was built as a permanent kayaking course already in 1948 and is a venue for an International kayaking competition.
Since this activity is weather/water level dependent you only need to book a spot on the trip. To book this activity you only pay a deposit of 16,25€ per person. The rest is paid on spot to the guides.

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.
