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.

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 free-floating tubing adventure on the river

On a donut-shaped rubber tube for one person, you will glide down the calm river section with smaller rapids. The water movement will carry you 5 kilometers down the riverbed. If you would like to direct a journey, you can paddle with your hands and feet. Throughout the journey you will be accompanied by an experienced guide on a kayak, who will give you instructions and take care of your safety. You will get wet during free-floating tubing, but you can also take a dive in the river pool, or stop and take a break at the riverside if necessary. After an hour on the river, you will reach an exit point and pull the tubes to the riverside. You will change into dry clothes and drive back to Bled with your guide.

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.
