What To Expect
First day
SPORT MIX
At the agreed-upon time, a friendly welcome will await you at the SPORT MIX agency. You will get acquainted with your kayak instructor who will then share some introductory information. After receiving all your kayaking gear, we will transport you to the entrance point on the Soča River, which will be determined by the instructor based on water levels and your prior knowledge and experience.
River Soca
After putting on your gear, you will be instructed on the laws of water flow and the techniques to employ in maneuvering in those situations. In your 5 – 10 km descent of the Soča, you will put into practice the techniques you have learned and build on your knowledge so that you can safely and in a relaxed manner enjoy your kayaking experience. Each day at the end of your trip, our driver will be waiting to transport you back to Bovec. Upon return, we will conduct a short analysis and review of the day and agree on the next day’s plan.
After your return, we'll review the day's pictures and conduct a brief analysis and review session. Should you desire, you can also book an additional day of kayaking for more adventures on the river.
Second day
At the designated time, let's reconvene at our office. There, you can gather your gear, and we'll swiftly prepare to tackle the rapids once more.
Soca
We'll arrange transportation to a new entry point along the Soča River, selected by the instructor according to water levels and your performance from the first day.
After your return, we'll quickly browse through the photos together before saying goodbye until our next adventure.

5.00The people are lovely and the guide was great! They helped us reschedule our activity and were very attentive and pleasant. We kayaked along the Soca River and loved it! The scenery is stunning and the rapids are exciting but affordable for beginners. By mid-April the water was cold, but with neoprene it looks refreshing and pleasant and invites to soak. We will definitely repeat if we come back!
Great experience

5.00It was an incredible experience. Even though I am a beginner in kayaking, I completed the route quite smoothly, as our instructors helped us along the way. And the views along the way were simply stunning.
Brilliant fun!

5.00This was such a fun trip. I am quite nervous of white water, but the guide was great, went through some skills in more tranquil water before setting off. The rapids were brilliant and we also got to swim. The whole experience was really well organised and I would totally recommend.
Amazing & Unforgettable Experience!

Our instructor was excellent and took the time to give us proper safety instructions, but made it so much fun on the water too!! We felt like we were in very safe hands. The scenery was just breathtaking and the rapids were awesome! Sport Mix were definitely the best choice. Highly recommend!!!
