PRIVATE KAYAKING ON THE SOČA RIVER

Private kayaking tours allow you to control the tone of the tour, with personalized attention from your guide. Do you wish your tour to be more relaxed or more exciting? Do you want to sharpen your skills or just get down the river? Just ask your guide!

HOW IT GOES

BEFORE YOU COME

EXPLORE OUR WEBSITE

And find perfect activities for you. You can choose between water, land and air sports. Kayaking will take about 4 hours of your time so you can add another activity on the same day. But, if your wish-list is longer you just email us all the activities you’d like to do and we’ll prepare a program for you. Just don’t plan more than 2 activities in one day.

LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING

Booking a tour in advance is always a good idea. You don’t want to spoil your day with complications like “sorry, but we’re completely full today”. Besides it’s good that we know you’re coming. So we can organize our team, polish the boats, make sure our guides are shaved and gear room smells of fresh roses.

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
  • sending SMS on +386 41 338 308

DON’T FORGET TO BRING

  • swimsuits (best if you wear them under your clothes)
  • extra pair of underwear because your swimsuits will be wet
  • ponytail elastic if your hair is long

AT OUR SPORTS CENTER

COME TO BOVEC

Our sports center is located in Bovec. We have a big private parking lot where you can park your car. There are also toilets, showers, lockers and changing cabins here. Not to mention the chill-out area with free WiFi.

CHECK-IN AT OUR OFFICE

First we will need you to sign a declaration of awareness. Please note that we can’t take on kayaking trip people who are

  • under the influence of alcohol and drugs
  • pregnant
  • physically or mentally disabled
    blind (you have to be able to see at least something)

Then we will kindly ask you to pay 🙂 You can pay in Euro or by credit card. VISA, Mastercard and Maestro are all accepted.

MEET YOUR GUIDES

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
  • splash jacket
  • life jacket
  • helmet
  • neoprene shoes
  • spray skirt

ON THE SOČA RIVER

GETTING ON THE SOČA RIVER

There’s a big parking in front of the Bovec Rafting Team sports center. There you will leave your car. You won’t need it until the end of your kayaking trip. We will take you to the starting point on the Soča river and then back to Bovec with our vans and buses.

STILL ON SHORE

You will change to neoprene suits. Don’t worry about the silly outfit. We all look the same on the river. You will leave your clothes and towels in our van or bus. Just before you start with crazy paddling the guide will also explain the basics of whitewater safety and show you what the paddle is for.

FUN ON THE RIVER

We always start kayak tours on calm and slow section of the river. First, your guide will teach you wet exit, so how to get out of the kayak if you flip. Then you will start learning your first strokes on flat water and later on faster current. The program is shaped not only to teach you how to paddle but also how to stay safe on the river. So besides different paddling techniques you will also learn communication signals on the river, the basics of white water rescuing and how to use safety rope and other gear.

WHEN OUT OF THE RIVER

The vans will already be there with your dry clothes. When you’re ready we’ll drive you back to our sports center.

AFTER YOUR KAYAKING TOUR

GET PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM YOUR RAFTING TOUR

Your guide will take his GoPro camera on the river. 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

You wouldn’t believe all the treasures we find around here at the end of the day. But if you do forget something just send us an e-mail. We’ll be happy to send it back to you.

TELL EVERYONE HOW AWESOME WE ARE

Facebook and Google reviews are much appreciated. Thank you!
