- APR 01 - OCT 15
- rafting - canyoning
Combine the two best-selling activities – Rafting and Canyoning. Go rafting in the morning and then canyoning in the afternoon. You can also do both activities on two separate days.
White water rafting
A fun 9-kilometer white water rafting trip down the Sava Dolinka River in Bled will take you through stunning scenery over fun rapids graded at level II and level II+. This adventure through lush and scenic outdoors is a wonderful experience for anybody who seeks to explore the beautiful Sava Dolinka river banks which offer a different perspective of Bled. In spring and early summer, the water level is usually higher because of the melting snow in the mountains – thus the river is faster and more exciting. In the summer timesummertime, the water levels are lower but the river stays cool throughout the summer – making this trip a perfect runaway from the Bled summer heat. Sava white water rafting is suitable for almost all ages, for lone travelers, couples, families, and groups. Join us on the best rafting adventure Bled has to offer!
Canyoning
The Canyoning adventure is a combination of walking through a gorge in the knee to waist-deep water, swimming, jumping and/or abseiling off cliffs, and sliding down on the water polished rocks into the pool below. Canyoning is an amazing and unique experience that will leave you breathless. Canyons around Bled are one of the nicest in Slovenia, and we have chosen the ones that we believe best combine the beauty and the thrill. We organize canyoning in the Grmečica canyon and the Jerečica canyon. Our first choice is the Grmečica canyon, but if the water levels are too high or too low we choose the alternate one – the Jerečica canyon.
