We couldn’t get over all of the incredible things that there are to do in Slovenia! Now we really only did touch the surface with our outdoor activities, but we can certainly say that without a doubt they are worth it and you MUST try some adventure activities while you are here!
Canyoning
We were especially excited (and a little nervous) about trying canyoning for the first time! Soca Valley truly is the perfect place to try it we can’t recommend it enough! We ended up staying in Kobaird and loved this quiet picturesque town. The best part was there there were a handful of outdoor companies to go through, without it being too busy.
After talking with a few different touring companies, we decided to go with Soca Valley Freeride. Nate was a fantastic guide and really set us as ease as he discussed with us what to expect while canyoning and gave us a safety briefing. He was able to accommodate us last minute and we went canyoning in the late afternoon.
The tour lasted 3 hours from the time we departed and arrived back in town. The total cost was 75 Euro per person and this also included the full equipment rental for the excursion.
Going canyoning was SO FUN and, unlike anything that we have done before. You’ll climb over rocks, jump into the water, and repel down waterfalls basically feeling like a champion. Nate was a solid guide, who helped us feel at ease while taking us on an incredible adventure!
Canoeing
We spent our second day in Kobarid going relaxing canoe adventure. We chose to go through the X Point Outdoor Experience company as they were very friendly and had availability for us to rent a canoe!
Although the waters were very calm, there are a few spots of minor rapids and it was a fun time. In our one canoe, we fit three adults, brought some canoe snacks, and were out on the water for a few hours.
We were alone in the canoe and didn’t have a guide with us. They told us were to exit on the river, and picked us up when we were done. It was great as we got out at a campground and had a pint while we waited for our driver. Solid time, highly recommend!
We just touched the surface when it comes to outdoor activities in Kobarid. It is a great place be as it is out of the hustle of bustle of the Soca Valley, but great areas to explore. There are loads of things to do here including kayaking, rafting, hiking, paragliding, and much more!
Kobarid is a DEFINITE MUST SEE PLACE while travelling in Slovenia!
