Meeting at 08:30

We will meet our tour guide in front of the Hotel and have a 5 minute drive to Bovec SUP base. We will collect all the necessary equipment for our first trip and start driving to the SUP location. The road goes through a mesmerizing mountain pass over bridges built by Napoleon, and you can spot various forts from WWI along the route. Our SUP location is Lake Predil, Italy for a awesome paddle around this stunning alpine lake surrounded by breathtaking mountains. We'll walk up to a stunning waterfall. After this 3.5 hour program, we will head back to Bovec, we will get lunch at a local bakery in Bovec or a picnic from a supermarket and after a short rest, we will take off to our afternoon program.

Meeting at 14:00

We will meet our tour guide at the Bovec SUP base. We will collect all the necessary equipment for our second trip and start driving to the lower Soca Valley, Most na Soci, where we begin our paddling journey. In this tour, we will explore the Soca river's hidden gorges, jump off the cliffs, and relax our mind in this peaceful part of the river, far away from the crowds. On this tour, you will truly see why the Soca river is called Emerald river, and your guide can tell you the secret behind this mind blowing color. After the trip, we will drive back to the Hotel, and you will have time to rest or have a walk around Bovec before dinner.

Day 3 - Whitewater SUP on Soca River, Slovenia

Meeting at 08:00

We will go together to the Bovec-SUP base and collect all the necessary equipment for our SUP trip. The drive to the starting point takes only about 3 minutes. Your tour guide will give you all the instructions about whitewater paddleboarding and teach you the basic paddling techniques. First, we will have a short practice in the calm part of the river, and then we will start our journey down the river. The river section has moderate and safe rapids and is perfect for the first whitewater SUP experience. You will spend around 2h on the river, including a short break to fill up energy. We will have a trip in two smaller groups for maximum safety and a great experience.

After our white water paddle, you will have free time to enjoy Bovec and the surrounding area. We can walk along the River Soca, do some fantastic whitewater rafting on the Soca River, rent some E-MTBiking or Zip Lining in the Julien Alps

Day 4 - SUP on Lake Bohinj, Slovenia

Meeting at 08:30

We will go together to the Bovec-SUP base and collect all the necessary equipment for our SUP trip.

This day, we will travel a bit further, but it will definitely be worth it!

From Bovec, we will drive about 2 hours past Lake Bled. to Lake Bohinj, Tucked away in the heart of the Triglav National Park, Lake Bohinj is what I would say Slovenia’s best-kept secret, a tranquil alpine escape that feels worlds apart from the more touristy vibe found at its famous sibling, Lake Bled.
