How to choose
Bovec canyoning now features 24 offers from 50 € to 145 € with sessions lasting 30 min to 4.5h, split across two main canyons. The Sušec canyon covers the beginner-to-intermediate range: 50 € to 70 € for 2.5h to 3.5h, all marked “Everybody welcome” or “Occasionally sporty”. It is the entry point for first-timers and groups wanting a solid rush without a high physical commitment. The Fratarica gorge, inside Triglav National Park, is the step up: 90–145 €, 4h to 4.5h, with several tours rated “Sporty”. Expect more technical descents, longer rappels and sustained water exposure. If price is the deciding factor, the 50 € HUNGARORAFT session in Sušec is the clearest entry. If intensity is the priority, any Fratarica tour at 90 € or above is the call.

Fratarica is the harder option. Tours there are rated “Sporty”, run 4h to 4.5h and sit between 90 € and 145 €. Sušec is shorter, cheaper and mostly rated “Everybody welcome” or “Occasionally sporty”, making it the lighter of the two.
