The experience
The day starts with a 15-minute meeting at the sports center in Bovec, or the guide picks you up from your hotel, apartment or campsite. After you get into your wetsuit and the guide runs through the safety briefing, a short 15-minute drive takes you to the trailhead. The 20-minute hike to the canyon top is the only climbing you do. Everything after that is down.
Once you're in the water, the canyon does the work. You'll jump, slide and rappel down sections up to 40 meters high, moving through pools of water so clear you can see the bottom. The canyon changes depending on the season and water flow, so the operator chooses between Fratarica and Upper Predelica based on conditions that day. Both have the same mix of jumps, slides and rappels, just in different sequences. The whole descent takes 3 to 4 hours, and most people finish wishing they could do it again.
You don't need canyoning experience to book this trip. The guide handles the technical side and the canyon is rated intermediate. What you do need is the ability to swim and at least moderate fitness: the hike in and the constant movement through water add up. The operator provides all the gear in excellent condition, so you only bring a towel and swimwear. After the canyon, the drive back to your starting point wraps up the day.
