Other activities to enjoy!

Skydiving

The highest tandem skydiving in Bovec is your ultimate adrenaline adventure. While climbing in the sky to 4000 m above Bovec airport, you’ll enjoy the most scenic flight with three Alpine countries scenery – Slovenia, Italy and Austria.

Hydro-speed

This is physically one of the most demanding activities. Hydro-speed or river bobsleigh is the navigation of rivers with a type of flotation device controlled with fins. Fins on our feet help you keep direction, overcome rapids and experience the river and its current in the fiercest way possible.

You will wear a neoprene wetsuit to protect you from cold water and rocks. You will be escorted by a guide in a kayak who will help you with directions, technique and safety.

Canyoning Fratarica

The village Log pod Mangartom sits beneath the mighty walls of Log. Here the Fratarica stream carves a near vertical path into the valley providing jumps, toboggans, short and long descents with ropes and culminating in the challenge of the high Parabola waterfall that will leave you breathless.
