RAFTING ON THE SOČA RIVER

FUN

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.

SIMPLE

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.

SAFE

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.

What is Kobarid Rafting Permit?

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.

Do I need Kobarid Rafting Permit for all activities?

No. You need this permit only for rafting. You don’t need it for canyoning, kayaking or zipline.

Should I buy Kobarid Rafting Permit before I book rafting?

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.

Can you buy Kobarid Rafting Permit for me?

No. We are very sorry, but since Monday, 26th August 2024 we can no longer buy the Kobarid rafting permits for rafting on the Soča River for you. You need to do it for yourself on your name with your credit card.

Yes. When buying a permit please make sure you buy a dialy permit for Sektor 2 | Kobarid.

HOW IT GOES

BEFORE YOU COME

EXPLORE OUR WEBSITE

And find perfect activities for you. Rafting will take about 3 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

  • towels
  • 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 rafting 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, Maestro and American Express 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

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 rafting 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

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.

WHEN OUT OF THE RIVER

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.

AFTER YOUR RAFTING 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!
