Soča River Rafting in Bovec: Professional Photos Included

A morning on the Soča, a photographer in the biggest rapids, showers and a safe box waiting when you're done

White-water rafting on the Soča River in Bovec is a 1.5-hour guided trip down Class II–III rapids, suitable for families and first-time rafters. You get picked up at the base, suited in a wetsuit and helmet, transported by bus to the riverside, and guided through the run by an English-, German- or Hungarian-speaking guide. A photographer follows your group through the biggest rapids and captures images you can view or purchase after. Transport, all gear, changing rooms, showers and a safe box for belongings are included. Children from age 6 are welcome.

The experience

The trip starts at the base in Bovec, where you change into a wetsuit, neoprene boots, lifevest and helmet in a private changing room, not in a parking lot or at the riverside like other operators. Once everyone is suited, you board an air-conditioned bus or minivan and head to the put-in. A safety briefing happens on the bank before you push off.

The 1.5-hour run takes you down the Soča's turquoise water through Class II–III rapids. A professional photographer travels with your group and shoots photos in the biggest sections, so you have images of the moments you're too busy paddling to capture yourself. The river is known for spotting local wildlife. Keep your eyes open between the rapids.

At the take-out, you climb back into the vehicles and return to the base. You can shower, change into dry clothes, and leave your wet gear in the lockers. Before you leave, you can view the photos the guide took or sign up for videos of the run. The base has an adventure bar where you can buy drinks and food, and games like ping-pong, pétanque, cornhole and darts if you want to stay and relax after.
