Whitewater Rafting on the Soča River in Bovec with Hotel Pickup

This is Soča rafting with hotel pickup, so you don’t have to sort out transport to the river. It’s a short whitewater trip near Bovec for people who want some action and a lot of scenery in one morning or afternoon. And you don’t need any rafting experience. A guide steers the raft and tells you what to do.

How the trip goes

• Pickup and gear: you’re picked up at your hotel and taken to the sports center in Čezsoča. There you get a wetsuit and the rest of the gear, plus a safety briefing.
• Boka Waterfall: on the drive to the river you pass Boka, one of the biggest waterfalls in Slovenia.
• The Soča River: about 1.5 to 2 hours on the water, with rapids, calm stretches and clear green water.
• Two stops: the raft pulls over twice so you can swim and jump into the river. It’s up to you whether you get in.

What past travelers say
