Can't decide between rafting and canyoning? You don't have to.
This full-day adventure combines both - rafting down the Struma River gorge in the morning, then descending into the natural rock pools of Kazanite canyon in the afternoon. About 4 hours of non-stop outdoor adventure, 120 km from Sofia. No experience needed for either.
🚣 What Happens on the Day
The adventure starts on the Struma River - one of Bulgaria's best rafting routes, running through a dramatic gorge with enough current to keep you focused. The run covers 8-12 km depending on the season, with qualified instructors and full equipment included throughout.
After the rafting trip, it's time for Kazanite. The canyon is a series of natural rock formations carved by a small mountain river - cold, clear water pooling between smooth stone walls. You jump in the waterfalls, wade through the channels, and cool off in a way that a swimming pool simply can't replicate.

⭐ Local Tip
This combination works best in late spring or early summer - the river is at its highest and most exciting, and the Kazanite pools are cold enough to make you gasp. Transport from Sofia can be arranged - just mention it when booking.
