Soča Experience Multi-activity adventure holiday in the Soca Valley

Intro

The Emerald Soča is a stunningly beautiful river valley with its source above Trenta valley in the heart of Triglav National Park and running down to the Italian Adriatic. The upper stretch of the valley runs through the beautiful Julian Alps and is a magnet for adventure sports lovers – offering a dizzying abundance of water and mountain activities. 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 for active families and adults in an unspoilt part of Europe often over-looked by the mass tourism industry…we also have excellent accommodation options – camping, hostel – bed and breakfast, log cabins, apartment or hotel.

Day 3: 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

Day 4: KAYAK SCHOOL

We offer full whitewater kayaking courses for beginner and intermediate level and operate under the guidance of qualified instructors. All our courses are limited to a maximum of 5 participants. When teaching the technique we not only show you the different strokes but we also teach you how to plan trips, navigate, avoid danger and take you down the river on practice sessions.

Day 5: KAYAK SCHOOL

Day 6: KAYAK SCHOOL

Day 7: GUIDED KAYAK DESCENT

We strongly recommend that inexperienced clients have lessons in our kayak school before doing a kayak descent because some basic kayaking knowledge is required for the kayak guided descent. The guide will show you the line down the river for a fun and safe descent that usually takes circa 1.5 hours on the water.

Day 8: DEPARTURE
