Small Group Rafting in Bled on the Sava Dolinka River

This small group rafting in Bled trip takes you down 9 km of the Sava Dolinka river with a licensed guide. It’s an easy-to-moderate run, so it suits first-timers, couples and families with kids from 6 years old. There are no more than 5 travelers on the trip, which keeps it relaxed and personal.

What happens on the trip

• What’s UP Bled base: this is where you get your gear: a wetsuit, life jacket, water shoes and a paddle. The guide also explains how to paddle and what to do on the river before you get in the raft.
• Sava Dolinka river: you then paddle 9 km downstream. The rapids are level 2-3 out of 5, so you get some splashes and bumps, with calmer parts where you can look at the green banks and the forest around you.

The guide takes GoPro photos along the way, and you get them for free. So there’s no need to bring your own camera onto the water.
