ur experienced guides will take you on a Soča rafting journey, where you will have the opportunity to see and feel all natural charms that the river has to offer. In order to make it easier to decide whether this rafting on the Soča River tour is right for you, we are going to describe its characteristics.

Transport to the river and the section of the river

Soča rafting journey starts at Boka waterfall and ends in the village of Trnovo ob Soči. The river course is 8 kilometers long. Otherwise, our first meeting point is in Bovec or on Bled. Bovec is a small Alpine village, which represents a great starting point for cycling, hiking and water sports activities around the beautiful Soča River Valley. Rafting on the Soča River is also known as Bovec rafting, since most Soča rafting tours start in Bovec. At the meeting point in Bovec you will get all the necessary equipment for the Soča rafting tour.

Then, from Bovec we will drive three kilometres to Žaga village. A little further down the road you will soon see a mighty Boka waterfall. Boka waterfall is the most powerful waterfall in Slovenia, with its great water flow capacity. From here on, the rafting Soča tour begins and continues along the river all the way to Trnovo ob Soči, a village between Bovec and Kobarid. We will already be expecting a van on the finish line to take us back to the meeting point in Bovec.

What else can you expect from the Soča rafting tour?

This tour begins on the calmer part of the river, when while paddling on the crystal clear water you might see the famous marble trout. In this part of the Soča rafting tour we will be accompanied by wonderful views of the mighty Alpine mountains such as Mt.Triglav, Krn and Kanin. But when the Učje River starts to pour additional water mass into the Soča River, the more exciting part of the Soča rafting tour begins. At this point, we will leave the emerald green pools behind and hit the beat of the fast rapids and rocks. The Soča rafting guide will help you with rowing and alerting you to the traps.

Soča rafting duration

The entire Soča rafting tour takes about 2 to 3 hours, including a descent along the river, transport and preparation (dressing, safety measures and instructions for the descent). Rafting along the Soča River takes about an hour and a half. During this time we will make 8 kilometers along the river.

Rafting Bovec difficulty

According to the difficulty scale from one to six, this Soča rafting tour is between two and four, which means that it falls between easy and intermediate difficulty level. This range is made due to the fact that the river descendent is divided into two parts. The first part of the river is calmer. Here you will learn how to paddle correctly in order to be ready for the second part of the river, where you will embark on a more challenging rapids and where you will be able to use the knowledge that you have gained in the first part. At all times you will be accompanied by experienced guides, so your security is guaranteed.

This tour offers river sections that are more interesting for families with children, where the other river sections offer pleasure for adventurous enthusiasts. Rafting Bovec on the second part of the river is therefore suitable also for children, who are 8 years old or their minimum heights is 120 cm. The other condition is that the child can swim. The same rule applies to adults. The condition is set due to a preventive safety measure, which must be taken into account by all agencies. In general, we can conclude that Soča rafting is suitable for all, for beginners, children, as well as for adrenaline enthusiasts.

Soča rafting availability

The best time for rafting in Bovec tour is from April to the first half of October. In the winter months, there are no rafting in Bovec tours available, since the outdoor temperatures are too low. In general, rafting on the Soča River is more abundant with adrenaline in the spring and autumn, when the river has higher water levels. In case, the water levels are too high, this tour adapts to these conditions. At high water levels, the Soča rafting trip is shorter, as we descend only after the first part of the river, where there are not many rapids.
