Rafting is much more than just paddling and hard work. There are parts where Soča river is quite calm and ideal for swimming with a few perfect rocks for jumping.
Rafting on the Soča river is suitable for beginners and in the warm summer months also for children. We will provide all the equipment and take care of the organization.
You will not be left alone to guide a raft down the Soča river rapids. There’s a professional guide at the back of each boat to make sure you relax and enjoy your trip.
We also organize rafting as a private tour for your group only. If you wish to skip the lines and avoid the crowds check private rafting tour.

Since 15.03.2024, every person using the section of the Soča River in the community of Kobarid needs to have a permit. Rafting tours start in the community of Bovec but end in the community of Kobarid. Therefore, you will need a special permit to exit the Soča River.
No. You only need this permit for rafting. You don’t need it for canyoning, kayaking or zipline.
No. We recommend you book rafting before you buy the permits. We at Bovec Rafting Team are flexible – you can change or cancel your reservation anytime without cancelation fees. The Kobarid Rafting Permits are non refundable. So we suggest you to buy them a day before or even on the day of your tour. The number of permits is not limited per day, so no worries.

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 rafting trip. We will take you to the starting point on the Soča river and then back to Bovec with our vans and buses.
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.
The first part of the tour is more calm and slow. You will have the chance to practice paddling. On the middle the guides will stop the boats for you to jump off the rocks and swim a little. The second part of the river is then more dynamic. The rapids get up to the difficulty level III.
Help your guide carry the raft back to the parking lot. No excuse here!
The vans will already be there with your dry clothes. When you’re ready we’ll drive you back to our sports center.
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.
