Slovenia Whitewater
On the banks of the stunning Soca River, the small town of Bovec is a mecca for water-based adventure seekers.
Running down from the Julian Alps, the crystal-clear waters offer ideal conditions for a variety of adventurous activities along different stretches of the river. This whitewater week includes: rafting, two days kayak tuition, 'Outsider' canoeing (two-man inflatables), hydrospeed, and canyoning (weather permitting).
Full instruction and supervision is provided by an expert local team who ease you through progressively more demanding and exciting experiences.
Back on dry land, there is a free day. Optional activities include a hike into the Julian Alps, a tandem paragliding flight or even a tandem sky dive.
