Discover adrenaline-filled water adventures

People rafting down a river through a forested natural landscape.

Rafting is the number one adrenaline water adventure. Sit in a rubber boat in the company of experienced guides. Ride the wild river rapids and follow the flow of the current.

Another popular river activity is cruising down the river in a kayak or canoe. Beginners can start with tamer rivers, while more experienced paddlers will prefer taking on a tougher river challenge.

A waterfall cascading into a natural pool surrounded by rocks and lush vegetation.

Put on a wetsuit, awaken the curious child within you and get ready for a hefty dose of adrenaline while canyoning. You will take a walk along the narrow riverbed, climb natural obstacles, make bold jumps into pools and slide down hair-raising waterfalls.

Hydrospeeding offers the most direct contact with the river. You have but a tiny watercraft under you that you steer with your flippers. You are also wearing protective water gear that protects you against any collisions with rocks.

If you're looking for the latest adrenaline challenge, you can try bellyak. Unlike hydrospeed, you use your arms to steer instead of your legs.

Sometimes the easiest way is the most fun. This could be said of taking a ride downriver on an inflatable inner tube.
