Things to Do in Bovec Whitewater Kayaking

 We tried whitewater kayaking for the first time with Soca Rafting Co., and though it's harder than it sounds, it was a blast. I tipped 3 times, but the best part about tipping over is that the water was so clean I could take a gulp and feel utterly refreshed!

Things to Do in Bovec

 1. Try an extreme sport

There’s an abundance of adventure sports – like whitewater kayaking, canyoneering, and zip-lining – centered around the stunningly clear Soča River (also known as the Isonzo River), a clear-turquoise river cutting through the charming mountain town. 

It's a popular getaway for Slovenians, this town is still relatively unknown to tourists.

Bovec

 Venture out of the charming capital city, Ljubljana, and make your way to way to Boveç (pronounced Bow-vetz) to get some quality time in nature.

While traveling in Romania, we met a young Slovenian woman who recommended we visit Boveç while in her home country. Whenever you get tips from locals, take them.

Boveç is a picturesque mountain village, that actually reminded us a lot of Leavenworth, WA where we lived for 8 months. It's small and surrounded by mountains with an amazing river flowing through it. Oh, and person we met was wonderful.
