- desbordese0 contributionsBest experience in Soča valleyRafting tour was super fun, with beautiful views on the mountains and river. We had a great time with our amazing guide Luka who did everything to give us the best experience !Written 24 August 2024
- 831triinul0 contributionsA great experienceThe classic rafting tour was a delightful and thrilling experience. The activity is suitable for beginners: it wasn't too demanding physically, there were plenty of breaks and we were given clear instructions. The path offered both exciting and relaxing moments, surrounded by the beauty of the Soča river. Our tour guide Anže was an excellent entertainer as well as very attentive, making sure everyone was having fun while staying safe. As a first time rafter, I highly recommend:)Written 17 August 2024
- V448FV_0 contributionsCanyoning in BovecWow! An amazing experience with the Aqua tours Bovec team! Our children (12,9,7) enyoed the tour by far then any other activity they did in the past. The canyon is absolutely beautiful, sliding and jumping between the pools and boulders, going down with ropes in the big waterfall. Simply the best time. Thabk you for a wonderful dayWritten 8 August 2024
- Dreamer190945475780 contributionsSuperA great experience, fun, relaxed and also a bit of an adrenaline rush. Luka the best guide. See you again to repeat the jump from the big rock.Written 22 July 2024
- Lovegreece01230 contributionsFabulous....and very safeWhere to start.......our trip was in May after 3 days of rain, it was cold, the water was flowing, there was snow on the mountain tops and the water temp. About 6 deg C. My partner and I were the only ones on the tour, due to weather and time of year. All the equipment was A1 including the boat. The safety brief was sensible and thorough. Our guide Flo was fabulous. We had brilliant fun from turning up to showering after. This place and Flo are fabulous. The rafting is about having a brilliant fun time......it delivered. However although fun is the object here safety is paramount and both Flo and aquatours delivered in heaps. I was very impressed with everything....well done and thank you. One point of note Flo is witty and serious when needed. When we finished he felt more like a friend than a guide Very very impressed....see you next timeWritten 14 June 2024
- stefanieu4590 contributionsAmazing Day Canyoning TourWe had an amazing canyoning Tour with our tourguide Flo. He made us feel safe through the whole Trip and we had so much fun at our first ever canyoning Tour. We would love to come back and Do it with friends soon.Written 3 June 2024
- Sunshine6789870 contributionsA Must Do Experience!This morning we went on Aqua Tours Classic White Water Rafting Experience and had the most amazing time! Our guide, Flo, and driver, Dario (sorry if I've got the spelling wrong) were very welcoming and made sure we had a lot of fun. The meeting point is easy to find and the equipment is of a good quality. Any questions were answered and Flo clearly knew exactly what he was doing. The experience itself is well structured with some quicker rapids, some calmer stretches, plenty of places to swim and (if you're brave enough) some cool places to jump into the river. As for the scenery, you have to see it to believe it... If you're thinking about going rafting whilst in the Bovec area, we would 100% recommend Aqua Tours. 😊Written 14 April 2024

- Essexhowards0 contributionsGreat fun on the Soca RiverMy family and I had a great few hours white water rafting on the Soca River last week. The weather was great. Flo was a great guide and he made it good fun. He took photos of us and at the end of the trip we simply had to scan his QR code and we received all the photos! Thanks as well to the driver (I think his name was Dario?). Would highly recommend Aqua Tours Bovec for rafting. The water is so clear and as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The water was really cold but they provide appropriate wetsuits and footwear so we were fine.Written 11 September 2023
- Klompf0 contributionsKayak and Canyoning ToursWe did the Kayak Tour with Špela and two days later the Canyoning with Matic (or Mr. Tic, as he likes to call himself). The fact that we booked another Tour with Aqua Tours Bovec after the Kayak Trip sit on top speaks for itself! We really liked the Team, who are very nice and professional, and the nature here in the region is unbelievably beautiful :)Written 11 September 2023

We were on the trip in the afternoon and the sun was behind us during the rafting trip. I can only recommend! The river is amazing, the color of the water here is turquoise! You need to check it on your own!Written 31 August 2023
- 5yevgeniys0 contributionsThe best family activityAmazing experience. Thanks to the team for arranging this duly factoring different levels of participants' physical condition and preparedness. Yet it was a group tour we felt everyone treated individually. Experience in making this activity safe and joyful is appreciated. Definitely recommended to explore the next canyon with Aqua Tours Bovec.Written 30 August 2023
- 747maticg0 contributionsAwesome rafting experienceGreat experience! Spela and Crt were amazing hosts, Anze did an awesome job of navigating us down the Soca river. We had a blast on the raft, swiming in the cold river and jumping of high boulders.Written 28 August 2023
- K4930JTsebastianb0 contributionsRemarkable tour and professional guide - even for sporty beginners (better no fear of heights)Since we heard of Slovenia's popularity in terms of Canyoning, we've decided to go for a tour. We - speaking of my girlfriend and me - were absolute beginners in Canyoning and also my girlfriend is a little bit afraid of heights. Nevertheless we wanted to give it a try and decided for the Fratarica tour - which may not be the easiest tour but at the same time provides a lot of slides, which you can also jump. The promise from Aqua Tours was to send us with a guide who's able to deal with my girlfriends uncertainty in a very calm and professional way. Matic (our guide) did a great job when he explaind us the basics of how to get dressed and what to keep in mind for the canyon. He seems to have lot of experience and maneuvered us through jumps, 45m rappeling and even one jump on the rope. We would definitely recommend even the tour and the guide as well. People who do this trip better not be anxious of heights but if they are there'll alaways be an easier way down than jumping or abseiling. Thank to the nice team around Matic!Written 26 August 2023
- 422b_lintl0 contributionsAmazing experienceOur instructor was really kind, he told us lots of information and we've hed really great chats with him, had so much fun rafting, swimming and we even got the chance to try out freefalling from a rock into the river!!

Our guides Matic and Črt were great, really approachable, laid back and funny. Matic was great given us loads of local knowledge as we kayaked, and was so accommodating for all abilities. It was a very small group in comparison to other tour companies on the river, made the tour feel really personal and good value for money. Matic also took lovely photos which were included in the price. Great memories, great fun - highly recommend

What a tour! The best activity during our 12-day stay in Slovenia. Matic was an excellent tour guide who made us feel comfortable in the kayak straight away. A great instructor but also a lot of fun to paddle with.
The scenary is amazing and so is the clear water. We could easily enjoy this tour a number of times. Thanks!

We stayed in the apartment Jernej and then first booked Wild Water Rafting, because we did not quite know whether water sports is something for us. The booking was totally uncomplicated and we did not need any equipment except our swimsuits and dry clothes.
During the rafting our guide Flo was always at our side. He is very competent, but also totally funny. We felt very safe and comfortable with him. The rafting was so much fun and we learned (how much water usually flows, what the maximum flow is, facts about the region, ...) and experienced so much (swimming, sliding, jumping into the water from a big stone...). We even enjoyed it so much that we booked kayaking directly afterwards for another day. Again, our guide was Flo. With a lot of commitment, wit and mindful of our safety, Flo explained the basics of kayaking and practiced with us before we started. The kayaking was also a lot of fun, we have practiced different techniques on different waves and also made games and small competitions.
Although the Soča is quite cold, the good equipment from Aqua Tours Bovec always keeps you warm, even if you jump into the water (whether intentionally or not).
By the way, kayaking or rafting is worthwhile even in (supposedly) bad weather. During rafting we had sunshine and blue sky and during kayaking it was cloudy and a bit foggy. Due to the fog, the Soča had something mystical, which made a great atmosphere. We are happy that we experienced both weather conditions.

Matic our guide was friendly and grounded like so many Slovenians we met last week. There was only the two of us plus Matic as it was off season so we were given direct info and instructions in a personal manner. The experience on the river canoeing was fantastic. The day was sunny and warm but the water was cold. We went through 3 or 4 grade 1 or 2 rapids which looks worse than it is and actually was the most fun part.
Slovenians are laid back so be prepared to ‘go with the flow’. If you are expecting meticulous disclaimers and H&S training you may feel dissatisfied but personally I prefer the trust element and having faith in well intentioned experienced guides. The Soca river is a beautiful alpine river and the water is turquoise and pollution free. I drank a small amount on the way down.
Matic was informative about the surroundings as we passed through waterfalls, mountain views and shifting river formations.
His colleague (Chez) - sorry I may have your name wrong was cheery and eager to chat.
I would recommend these guys and I would come back another time. April/ May is probably the best time as they said the river gets full of recreational traffic during the summer months.

Amazing experience to be able to jump on some kayaks and head down the Soca River. Blown away by the natural beauty of this area and the team at Aqua Tours made it happen for us.
Couldn’t recommend enough and if we go back we would go on the next adventure with these guys!

It was an awesome experience and I am happy that I chose Aqua tours Bovec for my first time in a kayak. Besides the beautiful nature that the Soča has to offer, kayaking there is super fun and a great experience for beginners as well as advanced drivers. The tour guide is super nice and really puts great effort to make sure everybody has fun. It is definitely worth to choose Aqua tours Bovec for any of your activities because you will meet some nice people and on top of that you get loads of fun and beautiful nature.

We had the best time ever with Aqua tours
We took the three hours kayak tour and we wished it was longer.
The guides were professional and informative and most important , really
nice and amusing and we had some good loughs and discussions.
The kayaking itself is not so demanding, mainly relaxed paddling with some fun simple rapids so there is a lot of time to enjoy the great views.
We will defiantly recommend Acua tours to our friends.
Hope to come again

I did kayaking in the Soca river in august and it was great!
The guide was extremely friendly and very funny. The tour itself is not very demanding but there are some fun rapids and we could do some "surfing" in the waves.
Definitely recommended for beginners which never did kayaking or did it only few times. The tour lasted about 3 hours so you have time to enjoy the beautiful view of the soca river.

Absolutely incredible! Would 100% recommend this company for kayaking in the Soca river. We were recommended them by some friends that had done kayaking with them the year before and we are so glad we did it.
The views are incredible and Matic and Flo are brilliant guides. They made the experience fun and were so welcoming.
The photos included were also a lovely bonus and a great way to remember the day.
We absolutely loved the kayaking and will be coming back to do the rafting with them on our next trip.
Highly recommend.

We had a brilliant afternoon on the Soča River expertly led by the lovely Špela. Aqua make sure it’s a small group so just four of us with one guide. All of the equipment was provided and in v good condition. Time was taken to instruct everyone, even though we had all kayaked before. Lots of new knowledge & useful tips. The trip itself was over 2 hours was a real highlight of our Slovenia trip. The scenery is simply stunning. A beautiful aqua green alpine river, towering limestone, tree clad peaks and a gasp out loud view at every turn. The kayaking was fun & challenging but doable. We shot some great rapids interspered with lovely calm drifting. Špela, our guide was fun, friendly & as a lifetime local full of knowledge. I would thoroughly recommend Aqua and this trip to add some adventure to a holiday.

Hi, is this a more relaxed tour on calm water or will it be more extreme /on white water?

Hi, may I check if there is a pick up and drop off fee? thank you!
Written 28 May 2022
I was personally running late, so I drove to the location myself. But I know that pick up is definitely included from Soca Rocks hostel because that's where I was staying. Hope this helps 😊
