Take control of your own white-water adventure on one of Slovenia’s most iconic rivers. This half-day inflatable kayak trip is perfect for those who want more excitement than classic rafting — and the freedom of being the captain of your own boat.

Before hitting the river, guides give a short briefing on paddling, kayak control, and river safety. Animated tutorials and practice help you feel confident. Choose your kayak: a solo Guppy or a tandem Ducky for two-person fun.

The 8–10 km route offers sections for all levels. Beginners can paddle easy Class I–II rapids, while more experienced kayakers can tackle Class II–III stretches with bigger waves and lively rapids. Along the way, you can stop to swim, jump from rocks, or rest and enjoy the alpine scenery.

With a focus on individual pace and comfort, this adventure combines skill-building, adrenaline, and fun. Stable kayaks, epic scenery, and refreshing swims make it an unforgettable white-water experience on the Soča River.

The provider speaks: English

Hi, I'm Attila! I have been doing rafting since 1998 on the Soca river in Slovenia. I also have an experience of work as a rafting and SUP guide in Richmond VA, USA. Doing rafting, canyoning, SUP and kayak trips have become my routine but most of the time I’m following the groups on the river and try to record your best moment as a photographer. I feel I’m lucky because my passion is my job. I like meeting new people all around the world and listen to their stories.
