Adventure Break Fantastic short break active holidays & adventure weekends in Bovec.

Intro

This trip is a great introduction to the adventure activities available in the Soca Valley and is the perfect appetiser ahead of a 8 day adventure package or as a standalone short break for active adults looking for an escape from busy lifestyles over a long weekend. Our operations base is Bovec – the main town in the area, a charming little place with lots of good restaurants, bars and places to stay and a growing global reputation for adventure sports. The town of Kobarid is also half an hour’s drive down the valley, a small but beautiful town boasting some of Slovenia’s finest restaurants and a first class museum about the role of the town and locality as a major front in the 1st World War. It is the perfect adventure getaway to an unspoilt part of Europe with spectacular mountains, rivers, forests, and an abundance of wildlife. It is also famous for the emerald waters of the Soca river which snakes it’s way past Bovec from the foothills of the Julian Alps to the Adriatic sea.

Day 3: SIT ON TOP KAYAKING AND CANYONING

Sit on top Kayaking

Easy to use, very stable & un-sinkable sit-on-tops ensure that anyone can enjoy a descent with no previous experience. Sit-on-top kayaks are very beginner friendly while providing enough of a challenge for experienced kayakers. Our trips are excellent for families with small children as parents are free to enjoy the river while kids are safe in the hands of our guide on a two-seater kayak. For a more relaxing experience we organize sit-on-top tours on the lake. If the water level is high you will need basic kayaking skills to enjoy this experience.

Canyoning

Susec is the most popular canyon in the Soca Valley because there is almost no need for ropes (rope technique) and the fun is unlimited. The gorge of the Susec stream is a big natural playground where waterfalls and small pools are ideal for jumping, sliding and splashing around. The canyon is not vertical at all and there is only one short abseil down an 11m waterfall.

Day 4: DEPARTURE
