If you have a sense of adventure and want to have an action-packed week in what is undoubtably one of the most beautiful regions in Western Europe then this trip will be hard to beat. Set amidst the backdrop of Mt Kanin and the high peaks of the Julian Alps, the Soca valley is a great place to be in the summer and this trip will definitely leave you with the feel good factor!

Kayaking
For those keen to learn or improve their kayaking technique we offer full whitewater kayaking courses. The kayaking school and instructors always adapt to the specific needs and wishes of our clients. All instructors have the international “Kayak instructor II and III” licence.

Mountain Biking
Mountain biking in the pristine mountains around Bovec is special. We offer guided tours in a radius of 100 km around Bovec (upper Soca valley, upper Sava valley), ranging across many different degrees of difficulty and lengths. Trips can be further adapted to suit the size, experience and skill of our guests. Our guided trips offer much more than just spinning pedals for a few hours. They are an adventure immersed in the pristine nature and turbulent history of this part of Slovenia, brought to you by the legs and heads of our fully qualified guides. Our specialty are mountain bike skill courses held on the downhill tracks of mountain bike park Kanin. Expert instructors work with individual guests or small groups and bring riders’ skills up from the basics to advanced and expert techniques allowing for safe and entertaining rides on technical terrain. All our guides have full UCI compliant certification.

Canyoning
Canyoning is jumping into crystal clear pools, abseiling over waterfalls: an unforgettable experience of nature’s wonders. Canyoning is a sport which invariably causes adrenaline to flow through your veins in massive quantities, not only from the heights and precipices but also due to the unbelievable wonders of nature which you can only experience through canyoning. We offer professionally guided tours in canyons with a medium and higher degree of difficulty (Fratarca, Globoški potok, Mlinarca,…), so a knowledge of abseiling is necessary and always verified prior to the trip. Clients who are new to abseiling are assigned to an experienced guide, who helps them throughout the trip.

Tandem paragliding
See Bovec from above! Soar above its valleys and waters and enjoy a bird’s-eye view. There is nothing more refreshing for the spirit than gliding freely through the layers of the atmosphere, accompanied only by a rising orchestra of Alpine sounds. Our top starting point is Mt. Mangart, chosen for its altitude as well as for its dramatic scenery. Other incredibly impressive starting points are Mt. Stol and Mt. Kuk, where you can experience the long, soft, whispering passage of Mediterranean air rising into the clear Alpine world. There’s no better eyrie from which to stoop than Mt. Kanin, affording a fantastic view of the valley, where we sail from the ski slopes and take the sky road to Bovec. This is what it feels like to be removed from the everyday world. In the event of inclement weather we can offer intermediate level caving as a substitute activity or as additional to the itinerary.

Hydrospeed
We recommend it for all who are addicted to high-adrenaline sports. Armed with a hydrospeed and flippers, you descend the most treacherous section of the river Soca. Guides will accompany you in kayaks and make sure that you are safe. We will spice up your trip downstream with wave-surfing. We will drive you to the starting-point, where you get changed into the gear that you need to come safely down the river. There is a 15-minute walk from the car park down a steep path to the entry point. Here the guides explain, demonstrate and teach you everything you need to know for a safe trip. You don't need any experience for hydrospeed - just a double dose of courage. 

White Water Rafting
Rafting is ideal for those who love the thrill of adrenaline adventures. You will be rafting upon the Soca River, known as “The Emerald Beauty”, signifying the beautiful emerald green waters. The specially designed rubber boat is steered by an experienced guide, ably assisted by your team of between 6 and 8 rowers. With amazing whitewaters and rising waves, a rafter can get ample opportunities to test his rafting expertise and at the same time, rafting is easy to learn and overpowering the strong currents makes it a genuine sporting thrill.
