What to expect

Hydrospeed is white water up close. Instead of sitting in a raft, you lie on a special float board and swim through the waves and rapids of the artificial course at Divoká Voda in Čunovo, steering with your body and the fins on your feet.

It is made for people in good shape who are comfortable in the water, including going under it. Each participant rides individually, under the eye of professional instructors.

Experience highlights

  • rapids from WW II to WW IV, with the water level set to match your skills
  • a safety briefing and full equipment from the instructors
  • changing rooms and showers after the ride

Before you go

Hydrospeed runs in the summer season for groups of three or more, and booking in advance is required. Participants must be 15 or older, fit, in good health and able to swim. No one goes on the water after drinking alcohol.

Bring a swimsuit or T-shirt for under the wetsuit, socks for the neoprene shoes, a towel and shower gel. If you wear glasses, secure them with a strap or switch to contact lenses.
