We did two activities with Soca rafting - zip lines and white water rafting. Both trips were excellent - brilliant guides, incredibly well organised with safety taken very seriously. This was an incredible experience for my children and me that we will never forget, so much fun! I would highly recommend!

We did kayak tours before, but this one was the first time we got a good explanation how to kayak.
Our guide Nuri explained everything very well during the tour on the river. The river setting was just perfect, not too boring but also not too dificult for beginners.
In summary, a perfect experience in Bovec.

Please, don't let Soca Rafting ruin your day and DO NOT BOOK HERE!
We reserved a rafting trip on the Soca river via this company Soca rafting, complete with confirmation on the e-mail. The booking was confirmed, and we looked forward to it! Since we stayed in Bled, we had to take the car for a 2-hour trip through the Triglav national park (which is great, go there when you have the time!). However, during our way to Bovec we got called by Soca Rafting telling us that they had to cancel our tour since there was no free space left. We were really confused, since we received an e-mail confirming our booking. However, they kept declining our reservation and didn't thought towards a solution (going later in the afternoon, or making a reservation at a different rafting company). Result? In the middle of the mountains we have to look for another rafting company.
I was, and am, still really upset about the way Soca Rafting treated us. As a tip to everyone, DO NOT BOOK HERE but go to another of the many other rafting companies.

We had a fantastic time rafting down the Soca River! This was our first white water rafting experience, and our family of four, including our two sons ages 8 & 10 found it to be one of the highlights of our recent trip to Slovenia. Our guide and the friendly level of service provided by Soca Rafting was first rate, including high quality, clean equipment. Don't miss this experience when visiting Slovenia, and you will be in great hands with Soca Rafting!

First and foremost, I would like to say that whoever loves ziplining this is an amazing place to go as the views are incredible, however, unfortunately, being as it was my first time, I had no prior knowledge of what to expect and thus was a total beginner.
The very first zipline you begin practicing on I feel is very good and even the guides with our group were very friendly and informative and instantly made me feel comfortable doing it. This comfort however slowly changed after the very first “real” ziplining activity.
This is a 200m one which at first glance seems but just a number and is totally hidden in the trees but once you are half way down, you realise you are literally in the middle of huge openness something not really warned about prior. And so, courage as I must, I felt I couldnt carry on, and this is where things began to seem ugly.
In total there were 2 instructors with our group, of which one goes first to let everyone know when to brake and help them get off the zipline, while the other one stays behind to push them and also go with a little one across the gorge. He immediately saw I was terrified of going and was trying to encourage me to carry on, even offering to take me across. This guide was amazing.
However, the other 2 with the group afterwards were absolute rubbish! Once they saw that I was having a hard time they proceded to ridicule and demean me infront of everyone, even telling me that I was an inconvenience and waste of time! This is NOT professional handling of customers and is NOT the way customers should be treated when trying to do something!
But ofcourse this was not all. After I finally managed to go on the other side and continued doing all the ziplines, it was time to look at the photos of which were taken at the last zipline. But alas, their own photographer decided it was a good idea to take a photo of me crossing the gorge in tears and terror! And took not just 1 or 2 like the others, but 6! These were shown infront of the whole shop!
How VERY unprofessional and unempathethic! This is NOT okay to treat your customers and people in general like this! What if someone had an actual panic attack on the same spot as me?! You would have no knowledge whatsover about how to go about the situation! This is pure egoism and ignorance and action must be taken!

We took our 3 kids for familly rafting. As we have 3 year's old we took the family trip. It was safe and fun. They gave us water guns and made a slide from the raft so we could slide from a huge rock. Even the little guy did it. Our older kids enjoyed jumping into cold water. Staff was very friendly and professional. They give you everything you need: special south and shoes, helmet. The whole trip took about 2,5 -3h. Highly recommended.

We have used this Rafting company in Bovec 4 times. First time was year 2008. Company provides nice rafting trip for very reasonable price. There are few problems, this company has not fixed, which made us change the company this year.
1. Soca Rafting takes pictures from the trip and is offering customers to buy them. Every picture costs. And company's main desk is full of tourist trying to look what pictures to take. This is crouding the whole shop and makes peiple to wait very long time to wven see pictures.
We already suggested 4 years ago, that company could offer CD with all pictures for fixd price, eg.10€. Pretty much everyone would buy it. Instead, now people chooses 1-5 pictures, pays that same 10€ and gets it on cd... Does not make any sense from operational point of view.
2. Company makes people to carry the rafting boat from the parking place to the river. Understandable is that boat need help to be carried away and back to car. But the way it is done is just brutal. Not everyone is capable to carry heavy boat on their hands above head on rocky down/uphill. From our tourist group, 50% got some sert of neckpain from this. Not good...
Other wise rafting experience itself is fun and well supervised. Recommending Rafting for all :)

After confirming via email 2 weeks before, they cancelled at the last minute when I arrived. For hydrospeed - I then used another company. Not advisable to use this company for solo travellers - they are likely to cancel if they don't have more people to make the event more profitable (and they neglect to tell you this when you book). The guy was also sarcastic and patronising in tone.

We find this review as inaccurate.
We never cancel the trip for a solo traveller.
When only one person books, we inform him/her that minimum number of participants required for trips is 2 persons and that there is additional payment for one person on activity.
This company policy and other rules & regulations are posted also on our web site under price list, each activity and in general obligations.
As there are other agencies in Bovec, offering same sports activities, maybe this review was even posted to wrong adress.

We will be 2 adults for the zip line. But we are traveling with a small dog. Is it possible to do the zip line in turns so that one of us can stay with the dog while one goes on the zipline?

Hello, Are there different trips down the river available? Does everyone have to paddle or carry the rafts? What are the river conditions in mid September? thanks,
Soča Rafting Since 1989
Bovec, Slovenia1 contribution
Dear Lalar0,
Yes, there are different trips possible:
- Rafting Boka: the most adventurous trip. It takes place on the most attractive section of the river Soča.
- Rafting Kreda: is suitable for closed groups of schoolchildren and students. It takes place on technically less demanding section of the Soča river
- Rafting Boka Elite: This trip is suitable for closed groups, business partners or as a part of team building programs.
- Rafting Girkelca: When the water level on the upper section of Soča river is high enough, we also organize rafting on the longest section of the Soča river, which is 20 km long. Best time for this trip is in spring or after longer rainy period.
Yes, the trip includes paddling and helping carry the boat at the end. It all is in the spirit of teambuilding with other guests.
In mid September the water level depends hardly on the rainfall.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Soča rafting

Hi,
We are planning to go rafting to Soca river, Bovec in May 2017. But I heard that the waterlevel is very low (generally) so it's not so enjoyable.
Tirol and Isel river is recommended to us.
What do you think, somebody was on rafting in Slovenia 2016? What are the experiences?
Thanks,
Zsolt

Hi. I am interested in a fun, thrilling ride. Do you know if the white water rapids are a class II, III or IV? or is the river a mix of all three? thank you, Kathleen

It depends on the amount of rain they've had. The trip has two halves. The upper portion is generally class 2-3; the lower, 3-4. It's definitely thrilling.
