Yes, the Soča River is an alpine river, and the water stays cold throughout the year, usually between 6°C and 12°C (43°F to 54°F). However, this is not a problem because we provide high-quality neoprene wetsuits, neoprene shoes, and safety equipment to keep you warm and comfortable during the rafting trip.

Even in summer, the wetsuit ensures that you can fully enjoy the experience safely.
