Looking for a fun day with the kids? Go on an amazing family adventure and explore the serene waterway of the Soča river.
Soca Kayaking – An Easy Family Friendly Activity
Kayaking with kids is a fantastic way to explore the world’s waterways, offering a fun family-friendly activity that fosters a love for nature and adventure. It creates lasting memories, strengthens family bonds, and allows children to experience wildlife in a new light.
The flat-water kayaking expedition offers a calm introduction into the world of kayaking and is suitable for kids age 6 and up.
We use sit-on-top kayaks (single boats) for paddling the lower stream of Soca river, named the Idrijca canyon.
Nature at its Finest
It’s no secret that the Soca valley is a true natural wonderland. Untamed forests, the endless falling of ivy plants and picturesque cliffs are just a few of the thousand nature’s gems you’ll be able to enjoy along the ride.
Explore the hidden spots around the Soča and Idrijca confluence, enjoy fun family activites, and spend an unforgettable day Soca kayaking.

Flatwater kayaking is perfect for families with young children and those new to kayaking. It offers a relaxing, customizable adventure on still waters under the watchful eye of our instructors.

We even make sure all the unforgettable family moments are captured on film and gift you a free photograph at the end of the trip.
