Family Beginner Canyoning in Sušec, Bovec

This is beginner canyoning in Sušec, a small canyon near Bovec in the Soča Valley. It’s made for families and first-timers who want to try sliding, jumping and rappelling with a guide by their side.

How the trip goes

• The walk up: about half an hour on foot to the start of the canyon.
• Training: before you start, the guide shows you how to go down a rope, how to jump into pools and how to ride the natural waterslides. It’s short and practical, and it’s what keeps the descent safe.
• The canyon: then you work your way down the creek, sliding, jumping, swimming and walking between pools.
• The last part: near the end it gets harder, with higher jumps and a rappel on the rope. If heights aren’t your thing, there’s a path around the falls. Nobody has to do a jump they don’t want to.
• The finish: your vehicle waits at the end of the canyon with your dry clothes. You change, and then you’re driven back to the meeting point.

What past travelers say

Families who did this tour mention a good morning together, and they praise the guide for being both professional and playful with the group. That mix matters when kids are trying canyoning for the first time.
