Rafting Slovenia

Rafting in Slovenia became a popular water sports activity in the mid-seventies of the 20th century. Since then, enthusiasts over adrenaline, unspoiled nature and clean waters, have found perfect locations for going down the river with a raft. Among them is a Savinja River in Logar Valley and Luče, and rivers like Drava, Mura, Krka and Kolpa River in the Dolenjska region.

Those who are looking for an unforgettable experience offered by white water rafting in Slovenia are thrilled about the emerald beauty of the Soča River, with its waters so crystal clear that a gravel river bed can be seen at all times. Sava Dolinka River and Sava Bohinjka River, two pristine alpine rivers, also offer a memorable experience on the rapids in the middle of unspoiled nature.

River sections are divided into different difficulty levels. In this, the calmer sections of the river with smaller rapids are more suitable for families with children and bigger groups who would like to observe the surrounding nature during the descent. The sections of the river with faster rapids, river streams, and rock obstacles are suitable for more experienced adrenaline enthusiasts.

Choosing the most suitable rafting tour on the Soča and Sava River depends mainly on the season, the weather and water levels. Going down on these two alpine rivers is more abundant with adrenaline in spring and autumn when rivers have higher water levels. Otherwise, this water sport does not require prior experiences, as professional and licensed guides are always present in the raft and therefore ensure a safe journey.
