Packrafting in the Soča Valley is an amazing adventure, beautiful views, contact with nature, learning new skills in sailing on mountain rivers and a lot of excitement. Classes on the water are conducted from scratch by the best instructors in Poland, multiple participants of European and World Championships, active competitors in extreme kayaking competitions, and Polish representatives in whitewater kayaking. Under our watchful eye, we will safely introduce you to the world of packrafting and whitewater kayaking. The possibilities offered by sailing on a Packraft mean that what was available only to experienced people who devoted a lot of time to training on whitewater kayaks a few years ago is now available to everyone, regardless of age and physical condition. Our trip is not only about activities on the water. During the trip, you will have the opportunity to admire the most beautiful places of the Triglav National Park, nature reserves such as the Great Soča Gorge (Velika Korita), from which you can swim out when the water levels are right. In addition, you can rent an electric bike from us on site, which will allow you to visit the amazing places that Slovenia has to offer, far from mass tourism. During the trip, you will see the landscape accessible only from the river, you will walk 100 m through a cave, and you will also have the opportunity to swim or jump from a bridge. We will make sure that you can taste local cuisine, cheeses and drinks. All this in small, intimate groups of about 10 people, without unnecessary logistics.

For whom

For people without previous experience in whitewater kayaking or kayaking who want to acquire new skills and experience a great adventure. And also for people who have experience in whitewater rafting and are looking for progress under the supervision of professionals. Packrafting in the Soča Valley is also an option for all those who like to explore amazing places, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and canyons away from the crowds.

    pitrusek.11 –

    Ten wyjazd, sprzed paru miesięcy, totalnie należał do udanych. Świetne podejście do uczestników przez lidera wyprawy, pełen profesjonalizm i wspaniała atmosfera. Sama główna atrakcja jak mega przygoda plus widoki w Słowenii robią niesamowite wrażenie. Super lokalizacja, świetne jedzenie, doborowe towarzystwo. Polecam w 100%, a sam jeszcze na pewno pojadę z WeGuide na kolejną wyprawę.
