About this experience
A 9 kilometer trip on Sava river might seem like a long distance if you would be up to swim it. It would probably end your holidays with hypothermia. So put on a wetsuit, life jacket and water shoes, grab a paddle and jump on board with our licensed rafting guides and you can experience the beautiful river banks in an enjoyable way. Stunning scenery, fun rapids and great company will make you want to paddle on and on all the way to the Black sea. Transfers in Bled and photos are complimentary.
