Soča Rafting with Water Slide in Bovec

This Soča rafting trip with a water slide in Bovec is a half-day whitewater run on Class III rapids, with a few Class IV spots. It suits active travelers and families who want more than a calm float: rapids, rock jumps, swimming and a slide built for the river.

What happens on the trip

• Raft base in Bovec: a guide meets you, gives a short briefing and hands out a wetsuit, boots, helmet and life jacket.
• Drive to the river: a transfer of about 10 minutes takes the group to the put-in. You change on the shore and get a safety talk before you paddle.
• The Soča River: 75 to 90 minutes on clear, cold alpine water. The route includes a natural slalom course through the rocks, which is one reason European whitewater fans love this river.
• Jumps, swimming and the slide: along the way you can jump from rocks of different heights, swim in calm sections and ride the guides’ toboggan slide into the water.
• Back to base: you change on the riverbank and ride back to the raft shack.

What past travelers say
