The soča river is famous for its white-water rafting or kayaking possibilities. There are many companies in Bovec with offers for kayaking, rafting, canyoning or hydrospeed.

There are plenty of mountain biking (bike rentals for approx. €20/day) and hiking trails along the mountain that borders the city.
