About This Tour

White water rafting in Bled means a guided trip down the Sava River, just a few minutes from the lake. The rapids are fun but not extreme, so it suits families, groups of friends and first-timers who want a few active hours outdoors.

Start at Camping Šobec

You meet at the Funturist stand at Camping Šobec in Lesce. From the Funturist office, a short transfer of about 10 minutes takes you to the river, where you get your equipment.

Rafting the Sava River

About two hours of the trip are spent on the water. The rapids are mostly Class II: a few splashy, bumpy sections with calm stretches in between, where you can slow down and enjoy the scenery. Your guide steers the raft and tells you when to paddle.

What past travelers say

  • The rapids are gentle, which works well for kids and beginners. But it’s not the right pick if you want a big adrenaline rush.
  • Guides take photos during the trip and share them afterwards, so you don’t need your phone in the raft.

Practical info

  • Duration: about 3 hours in total, with around 2 hours on the river
  • Meeting point: the Funturist stand in front of the entrance to Camping Šobec, Šobčeva cesta 25, Lesce
  • Pickup: available from your accommodation on request

Rafting fun

We had an amazing time rafting with Gasper! Very convenient logistics and it was so fun and beautiful. We hope to be back soon!!

A worth rafting

Super well organised Nice guides Fun experience They take pictures of you as well It’s not too short and too long

Amazing trip

This was a really well organised trip with the emphasis on having fun. We shared a raft with one other family, and our instructor made it the best experience. We loved paddling down the rapids – not too fast, but fun, especially when we went down backwards. We played a couple of games, and had a few opportunities to swim. We enjoyed body surfing along one bit where we got out the boat and drifted feet first down the river under a bridge. The sun shone and the scenery was beautiful. It was certainly one of the highlights of our holiday, and really good value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wild are the rapids on the Sava River?

Not very. Past travelers describe them as Class II: some splashes and bumps, with plenty of calm water in between. If you want bigger whitewater, rafting on the Soča River in Bovec is usually the stronger option.

Is this rafting trip good for kids and beginners?

Yes. No experience is needed, and travelers say it feels safe even for first-timers. Keep in mind:

  • Children must be with an adult.
  • You need a moderate fitness level, since you paddle for about two hours.

What should I bring and wear?

  • A swimsuit to wear under the equipment
  • A towel and dry clothes for after
  • Your phone can stay behind, as guides take photos on the river

Will I get wet, and can I swim in the river?

Expect to get wet. Past travelers mention chances to get out of the raft and swim in calm sections, depending on the guide and the conditions on the day.

How do I find the meeting point?

The address leads into Camping Šobec, but the meeting point is the Funturist stand in front of the campsite entrance. It’s a good idea to confirm your start time with the operator a day or two before.

Who is this tour not for?

  • People with heart problems or other serious medical conditions
  • Travelers who need wheelchair access
  • Anyone looking for intense, fast whitewater

What happens if the weather is bad?

The trip needs good weather. If it’s canceled because of weather, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of travelers isn’t reached.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before the start time and get a full refund. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before are not refunded or accepted.
