About the rivers: In July and August Soca is not too cold for swimming. In other periods, as well as other rivers in the area, it gets colder. Soca is known as one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. It is clear, has unique green color and sections of different difficulty - from easy to extreme. During the normal summer water level for the lower section (Kobarid to Tolmin) open canoes or touring kayaks are preferred; middle section (Bovec to Tmovo) with rapids up to WW IV, we use rafts or kayaks and inflatable canoes for experienced whitewater paddlers. The upper part can be navigated in inflatable canoes with few portages. The section of Koritnica, usually used for paddling, is rather short, but very beautiful. It can be done in kayaks or inflatable canoes. Both these rivers are "slalom" types, inconvenient for rafting in their upper, narrow sections.

Itinerary: Day 1: Arrival in Bovec/Cezsoca on the left bank of one of world's most beautiful canoeing rivers. In the afternoon you will get to know the area and choose the right boat for you - a kayak, canoe or inflatable raft.
Day 2: A trip down the easy flowing section of the Soca river from Kobarid to Tolmin, with stops for a picnic and swimming. Here you will learn the basic kayak and canoe skills and strokes, enjoy the sun, swim in the clear water, and hike in Tolminska Korita gorge.
Day 3: Rafting down Soca (if the water level is high enough): the easier part first, then - after picnic - the wildest part, a natural rafting slalom between the rocks on the site of World Whitewater Championship events.
Day 4: Rest day - to be spent hiking in the surrounding hills or bicycling to the unique valley of Trenta.
Day 5: Another canoeing day on the Soca, this time with easy rapids and instruction on canoeing and whitewater techniques.
Day 6: Explore the upper Soca river - hiking, canoeing and swimming in narrow canyons and easy rapids.
Day 7: Descent down the small but wonderful Koritnica river: you will need all the skills that you have learned in the past few days to enjoy these little known canyons and rapids.
Day 8: Departure.
