Rafting in Bled on the Sava River

Rafting on the Sava Dolinka is the most popular water adventure near Bled: an emerald glacial river in the immediate vicinity of town, with playful rapids — enough for laughter and splashing, but nothing extreme. Our route differs from other Bled rafting trips in covering the most fun, rapid-packed stretch of the river — more action in the same time on the water.

How rafting in Bled works

The experience starts with a free pickup at your address — hotel, hostel, apartment or campsite in Bled and within 10 km; otherwise we meet at the pickup point. After gearing up (wetsuit, helmet, life jacket) comes an hour and a half of paddling downstream, with stops for swimming, jumps into the water and river games. The whole experience, transfers and changing included, takes about 3 hours, and your guide shoots free photos along the way.

Who it’s for

This is the best water activity for families: suitable from age 6, easy and beginner-friendly — no prior experience needed, and life jackets take care of safety. It works brilliantly for larger groups too; the minimum booking is 2 people. After booking, send us your heights and shoe sizes.

Practical

All you need to bring are a swimsuit (under the wetsuit) and a towel — all equipment is included. Food and drinks are not included. The season runs April to October: early summer has the highest, liveliest water, while July and August are warmest. Light rain doesn’t stop the trip — only storms and high water do. In peak season, book at least a day ahead.
