Is canyoning exciting for teenagers?

In a world where the art of diplomacy is often overlooked, perhaps it’s time to reconsider its place in every school curriculum. Imagine if our children were equipped with these essential skills, ready to put them into practice when faced with the challenges of family vacations. Picture your offspring gracefully navigating the ups and downs of family dynamics with charm and finesse, always respectfully engaging with their parents.

Well, perhaps one day in the future. Until then, we parents will embark on these adventures with high hopes, only to find ourselves navigating a minefield of eye rolls, sighs, and the occasional mumbled insult under their breath. But don’t despair, fellow travelers! Amidst the challenging walk on the cliff of adolescent moodiness, there lies a glimmer of hope—a chance to jump off that slippery cliff into the cooling pools of the Sušec Canyon waterfalls. It’s time to show our teens that their parents can also get some likes on Instagram!

WILL MY TEENAGER HAVE FUN ON A CANYONING TOUR?

YES
Kids love canyoning! Canyoning is a combination of cliff jumping, rappelling, and sliding down waterfalls. It’s more engaging than rafting but also more physically demanding, which is beneficial for their hormonal balance. Canyoning gives your youngster a taste of freedom and independence, with photos way more epic than those from back home.

DO WE GET PHOTOS FROM THE TOUR?

YES
Your teenager will not be able to take his beloved electronic devices in the canyon. There’s nowhere to put them because neoprene jackets don’t have pockets. Besides, there’s no WiFi in the canyon. So, this might bring some extra stress to his virtual social media life.

No worries though – we’ve got you covered. We understand that posting fresh photo and video material on Instagram is indeed a matter of the utmost importance. Our guides have GoPro cameras on their helmets and they will take photos and short video clips of your adventure. When you come back to Bovec Rafting Team sports center photos will be uploaded to Google Photos cloud and we will send you link to your email.

Usually all the photos are delivered on the same day by 8 o’clock in the evening when we close the office. However please understand that we live in the mountains and with the summer storms we sometimes suffer from electricity or internet collapse. Anyway, all the photos are always delivered within 24 hours.

CAN MY UNDERAGE TEEN GO ON CANYONING TOUR WITHOUT ME?

YES, IF OLDER THAN 15Y
Maybe your teenager wants to join us for canyoning and is really looking forward to it. But you’re not so sure yourself.

Underage children (under 18 years in Slovenia) should be accompanied by an adult. However, for children older than 15 years you can sign an agreement at our office before the trip. But please contact us by email before you come.

WHAT IF MY TEENAGER DOESN’T WANT TO JOIN AT ALL?

NO PROBLEM
So, you and your family are all set for an exciting canyoning adventure in the stunning landscapes of the Soča Valley. However, your teenager isn’t quite sold on the idea.

Well, just leave him at our sports center. There are plenty of windows that are still dirty from last week’s rain and oily sunscreen from our guests’ handprints.  And volunteers are very welcome. Hahaha… joke. No, no seriously – the entire area of our sports center is covered by wireless internet access. No extra charge. That should keep him busy for the next 3 hours.

WHAT OTHER ACTIVITIES MIGHT BE GREAT FOR TEENAGERS?

ZIPLINE – Teenagers also love zipline. Zipline is heights and speeds at its best. Lots of adrenaline rush and lots of fun! Check out our activity packages for different combinations.

RAFTING – Rafting is also good alternative if your child isn’t that into jumping and sliding.

ESCAPE ROOM – For rainy days you might as well consider getting locked up in the Escape room Bovec 🚔

All in all, canyoning is a perfect outdoor activity for your teenager. The Sušec canyon is fun and not too crazy and they will be in safe hands of our well trained guides, but it’s still more than exciting enough for them to have fun. So, book your family canyoning tour with us and use the “Special requests and notes” section of the booking form in case you still have some questions or concerns. We’ll be happy to answer.
