Intermittent streams, green pools, small and larger waterfalls, natural slides...
Canyoning is the most dynamic and playful experience in all of the Soča Valley. Walking through the narrow gorges carved by intermittent streams, paddling in crystal clear water, jumping into clear natural pools, sliding down waterfalls. Canyoning is the TOP choice for all who wish to safely explore the wild, hidden nature, sheltered by the mountain slopes of the Soča Valley. It is a unique way to get to know the natural wanders carved in the distant past. Canyoning is best enjoyed in the company of our friendly, highly-trained, experienced, and licensed guides!
We offer three canyoning experiences based on the characteristics of the gorges, your physical endurance, and wishes: Sušec, Fratarica and "Canyoning Day", which includes two canyoning trips in one day!

If along the way you decide you have had enough adrenaline for one day, you can safely exit the gorge and return to the starting point by following a clearly marked path.
