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.

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.

Air

Touch the sky and take a bird's eye view of Slovenia. Discover its beauties high up in the air with paragliding and hang-gliding, or if you prefer to stay a little closer to the ground, ride thrilling zip lines and test your skills in adrenaline parks.

Adrenaline in the air

Feel as free as a bird and conquer the blue sky with paragliding, hang-gliding or skydiving in tandem. If you feel better closer to the ground but still want to float in the air, visit the wind tunnels in Žirovnica, Logatec and Planica.
