Packrafting

The new adventure!

A packraft, a one person small inflatable boat that can comfortably fit in your backpack, these boats can be used for multiday self supported trips. Once you reach the river on foot, simply take the raft from your backpack, inflate it, change clothes, put your dry clothes in the waterproof bag and continue the adventure on the water.

The professional packraft that we provide weighs about 3 kg.

Only for you, we have selected the most beautiful sections of the River Soča that can be either exciting or relaxing according to the itineraries that we can choose together.

This is another activity suitable for everyone, even if it’s the first time, you have just to be a little sporty to participate. The itineraries are always chosen based on the skills of the group.

Packraft, in addition to being very light are also very stable, easy to handle and easy to drive, thus maximum fun with minimum effort. A good alternative to kayaking.

Our offer includes guided descents of different difficulties but also lessons. So if you have your packraft and you want to improve the technique or you want to approach this new sport by learning how to paddle and the basic or advanced river descent techniques, you're in the right place .

Our head office is located in Trnovo ob Soči, a small village surrounded by nature where peace still reigns, halfway between Kobarid and Bovec, in the middle of all the most beautiful itineraries. This means more time for packrafting and less time spent in transfers, considering that once the descent is over, in a few minutes you can get back to your car.

A cafe with services, minimarket and free private parking for our guests complete the offer.
