Alternatives to rafting on Soca

With the most popular tourist activity being Soca rafting, Bovec is very well-developed in this department. Not only is the whole offer very well catered to all the interested visitors, it’s also aggressively advertised. That’s why it can seem that Bovec or Soca river in general have nothing else to offer. For Soca rafting, Bovec is definitely the place to be, but that’s far from all this town has to offer to the tourists unsatisfied with rafting.

Let’s take a look at some of the more unusual alternatives. One of those is canyoning. Bovec is very well suited for this activity as it has several waterways with interesting canyons. This is also the best choice for the adventurists that don’t like crowds. Canyoning is not done on Soca, the river being too wide and deep and also lacking a proper canyon for most of its length. Luckily, there are multiple streams flowing towards the river from the surrounding slopes, often carving nice deep and narrow canyons along their way. That’s why for canyoning Bovec offers tours to various hidden gems, natural springs and streams with picturesque canyons, ideally suited for explorers on foot. Some of the tours are challenging and intense, other are interesting and relaxing. It’s not unlike rafting in that regard – both activities offer various programs for tourists of different interests.

Canyoning Bovec is one of the options. Other alternative activities include hydrospeed which has similar advantages for those who dislike Soca rafting. Bovec further offers other activities for keeping your visit interesting. If you don’t want to spend all your time on the river, there’s a lot of options in the surrounding mountains or even in the sky above – mountain biking, hiking, climbing, paragliding, and other options will leave you spoilt for choice!
