The Soca is a 140 km long river, flowing through the North-Western part of Slovenia, the heart of the Julian Alps and through North-Eeastern Italy where enters the Adriatic See next to Grado. The Italian name of the river is Isonzo.
The Soca source is in Trenta valley, at an elevation of 876 metres in the area of Triglav National Park, close to the road to Vrsic pass, to the highest pass of Slovenia . The source and the river itself are sorounded by high limestone peaks. The river runs pass the towns of Bovec, Kobarid, Tolmin and Nova Gorica, where it enters to Italy.
The Soca river is called 'The Emerald Beauty', due to its impossibly beautiful emerald-green water. The valley is not a big area, but full of with attractions, and you can have a lot of good program...

Our NEW activity is whitewater kayak trips with inflatable kayaks. This kayak is very friendly to navigate.
The bottom of the kayak is not totaly flat, it has a bit V shape, and that is the form, why it can give you the real whitewater kayaking feeling. You can lean the boat, and that is why you can do the whitewater kayaking maneuvers.
These are the characters, why we found the inflatable kayak very friendly for beginner kayak trips and we started to use them. And if you are advanced kayaker, but you are not 100 % shore you can run a more exciting section, you just sit in this forgivable kayak and have 100 % of fun.

With the forward stroke you can give speed for your kayak. Because the whitewater kayaks are designed to turn easiely and quickly, it is not easy to go straight only with forward strokes, and that couses problem for most of the beginners, their kayak always turn to one directrion, while they practis the forward stroke.
