How it goes
EXPLORE OUR WEBSITE
You can find many water, land and air activities we organize. Canyoning in Fratarca takes about 4 hours. However, Fratarca canyoning is quite physically demanding so we don’t recommend booking another activity on the same day. But, if you plan to stay in Bovec for more than 1 day, feel free to join us for more adventures. We’ll be happy to assist if you need help with your travel plans.
LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING
If canyoning in the Fratarca canyon is on top of your wish-list please make a reservation at least 5 days in advance. Fratarca canyoning takes a lot more preparations and organizing than any other activity we offer. So, you cannot just show up in the office and book Fratarca canyoning for the next day. Especially in July and August you must have a reservation.
You can book your trip by
- filling out a reservation form
- sending us e-mail on hello@bovec-rafting-team.com
- calling us on +386 41 338 308

They will explain the details about the trip and hand you all the equipment you need.
In our gear room you will get
- neoprene suit
- neoprene jacket
- harness (safety climbing belt)
- helmet
- neoprene shoes
GETTING TO THE FRATARCA CANYON
There’s a parking infornt of the Bovec Rafting Team sports center where you will leave your car. You won’t need it until the end of your canyoning adventure. We will take you to the starting point in the Fratarca canyon and then back to Bovec with our vans and buses.
BEFORE YOU ENTER THE CANYON
You will change to neoprene suits, put on neoprene shoes and harnesses. You will leave your clothes and towels in our van or bus. Then follows a 40 minutes long walk to the starting point. We all hate this part of the tour but it’s worth the award. Just before you start with crazy sliding down the waterfalls the guide will also explain the basic of whitewater safety and show you what the harness is for.
FUN IN THE CANYON
There are many high waterfalls in the Fratarca canyon, but not so many jumps and slides. The main difference is that Sušec canyoning is less demanding and therefore more fun. Fratarca canyoning is more demanding and more technical. Waterfalls are also much higher, up to 50 meters high. That means you will be using the rope and harness most of the time and it’s good if you have at least some rock climbing experience.
WHEN OUT OF THE CANYON
Look back at the last waterfall and be proud of your achievement.
Then get rid of that terrible wet neoprene. The vans will already be there with your dry clothes. When you’re ready we’ll drive you back to our sports center.
GET PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM YOUR RAFTING TOUR
Your guide will take his GoPro camera on the canyoning tour. After the trip we will send you all the photos and videos from the trip for free. So, stop at our office and leave your e-mail. We will send you a link as soon as photos and videos are uploaded to a cloud gallery.
MAKE SURE YOU DIDN’T FORGET ANYTHING AT OUR SPORTS CENTER
