More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cool rush of water and a chorus of shouts announce the start of Sušec Canyon. Minutes from Bovec, the stream narrows into polished rock slides and deep emerald pools; guides rig helmets and wetsuits while the canyon’s current seems to dare you forward. Participants move between short waterfall drops, head-first toboggans and controlled jumps into clear plunge pools — the route is engineered for beginners and families but still feels like a small, wild expedition.

Bring water shoes or neoprene boots
Even though neoprene boots are supplied, bringing well-fitting water shoes or double-checking boot sizes ensures secure footing on slippery rock.
Know your swimming ability
You must be able to swim and be comfortable in deep pools; guides can coach jumps but can’t accompany you underwater.
Protect electronics
Use the photo service or leave devices in a dry bag at the office — water and falls can damage phones and cameras.
Timing: late morning preferred
Scheduling mid-morning trips gives stable light for photos and often warmer air and water temperatures than early starts.
Closed-toe water shoes or neoprene boots
Provide traction on wet rock and are often more comfortable than rental boots.
summer
Quick-dry base layers
Worn under the supplied wetsuit to reduce chafing and retain warmth after exiting water.
spring
Small dry bag
Keeps keys, wallet and a spare layer dry at the start point or shuttle.
Towel and change of clothes
