Kayak Sit On Top

Sit-on-Top Kayak – Your First Descent on the Soča, Made Easy

Want to experience the thrill of paddling down the Soča River right away, in full safety and without having to attend a course first? The sit-on-top kayak is exactly what you’re looking for.

Unlike traditional kayaks, sit-on-top models don’t require you to climb inside the cockpit. You sit comfortably on top of the hull—just like in a regular whitewater kayak, but with one big advantage: in case of a capsize, you don’t have to worry about getting stuck or emptying the boat. They’re unsinkable, self-draining, and incredibly stable, making them ideal for your first adventure on the rapids.

You can immediately enjoy a fun and scenic descent on the Soča, even if it’s your very first time. No course required, just a great sense of excitement.

Your adventure starts from our base in Trnovo ob Soči, a peaceful village surrounded by greenery, halfway between Kobarid and Bovec. Located right in the heart of the river’s most beautiful stretches, our base allows you to spend more time on the water and less time in transit. After your descent, you’ll be just a few minutes from your car.

Alpin Action is one of the most established and trusted outdoor companies in the valley, known for excellence, professionalism, and a passion for sharing new ways to experience the Soča. Alongside river sports, we offer extra comfort with our bar, facilities, minimarket, and free private parking for our guests.

We’re also the only ones offering real whitewater sit-on-top kayaks—built for the current and ready for adventure.
