Welcome meeting and presentation of the weeks activities and some information about Tolmin and its river valleys. The afternoon is free to explore the local village and surrounding area.

Day 2 Introduction to our guides for the easy, 15km Mountain biking trip that will follow the old road from Tolmin to the historical town of Kobarid. Here, after some basic instruction you will have the opportunity to try your climbing skills on the artificial wall. In the afternoon you will ride back to Tolmin stopping at Zatolmin village and visit the beautiful 'Tolminka gorges' and the Devil`s bridge, which leads to Dante's cave, famous for its bear's head and warm springs. Dinner in Tolmin.

Day 3 After breakfast we will get all necessary equipment for your day Mini Rafting on the Soca river. This is a truly exhilarating trip and one of the best ways to experience the emerald green waters of the winding river. Barbecue lunch at Camp Vili beside the calmer part of the Soca river where there will be time in the afternoon for paddling, swimming and sunbathing. The day ends at the Volce bridge near Tolmin, where we'll change from our wetsuits back into our dry clothes. Dinner in Tolmin.

Day 4 In the morning you will take a short walk to the Tolmin adrenalin park which is located in the bush where you will challenge yourself to complete 'The high ropes course' where you will have to navigate your path across 8 different bridges at a height of 9 meters. The afternoon is free to relax or explore the surronding countryside.

Day 5 Today you will be back on the river, starting at Kamno village, where the Kayak tour begins. Suitable for beginners and experienced alike you will kayak down a lovely 12 km stretch of the river (rated I-II). The descent lasts about three hours ending in Gabrje where you can enjoy lunch in one of the local cafes or restaurants. Free afternoon before returning to the hotel for dinner.

Day 6 Free morning. After lunch you will head to Trebusa which is our base for the Canyoning excursion. First we will test the water and be introduced to the rapids and smaller waterfalls, continuing onto the larger ones further down the river. The highlight of our descent will be a 27 meters tall waterfall, where guides will help you to jump safely with a rope. Of course you don't have to jump but it's a truly memorable experience. Return to Tolmin for dinner.

Day 7 Free morning. Early afternoon departure to Boka-Trnovo, the starting point for the Rafting trip. After a briefing and some basic instruction we will board our rafts and become part of the tumbling white water that flows through the valleys from the high peaks.
