Canyoning im Triglav-Nationalpark

Hele leuke ervaring, samen met mijn dochter van 19 gedaan. We waren de enigen, dus hadden een privé gids. We wilden onze grenzen verleggen met de hoge afdaling aan het einde, hier hadden we van tevoren dan ook enig spanning voor. Doordat je met deze canoying 5x moet abseilen van verschillende hoogtes, kwam je er al goed in en was die laatste afdaling gewoon heel leuk om te doen. Enige minpuntje van de canyon is dat je in het begin de sprongen en glijbanen hebt en daarna het abseilen, het wisselt elkaar niet echt af, maar desalniettemin een hele mooie canyon met mooie uitzichten.

We stayed in Bovec, Slovenia and there were a number of companies that all offered the same thing, so we went with Soca Splash because the landlady of our rental recommended it so strongly. We did rafting one day and canyoning the other. The rafting was a lot of fun although you won't find any great rapids here compared with rafting in some parts of the world , so it was a leasurely experience but still fun. To make up for a lake of "excitement" the guides let you do fun things on the side like sliding down the raft, and also jumping from a large rock into the water if you wanted. The scenery was second to none. You are basically surrounded by the alps and the water is this amazing blue. All in all we were rafting surrounded by guides from our company and other companies, and they all seemed comparable. You can't really go wrong with anyone you chose. What was AMAZING and the absolute highlight of our trip however was cayoning. We went up with a guide who was very friendly and well qualified. (He was from Austrialia but otherwise I forgot his name). We booked the beginner trip, and were pair with another family. The trip invovles a steep climb into the mountains, where we then put on our gear and are guided through the water and had jumps and slides to lower levels. It was so much fun. We, the adults, enjoyed it but so did our teens. The youngest in our group (11 years old) had a blast too. It was really for all fitness levels. The guied made it fun and took so many photos which were given to us without extra charge. He made our entire summer vacation.

Onze gids David was fantastisch, we voelden ons heel veilig, hij is heel aardig, grappig en kalm. We raden hem enorm aan. Leuk om zowel het raften als het canyoing met hem te doen.
