Become One with the Emerald River
This is not rafting. This is not kayaking. This is Hydrospeed, the most intimate and thrilling way to experience the power and beauty of the Neretva River. Armed with your own high-flotation board and a pair of fins, you are in complete control. You are not just on the river; you are in it, feeling every current and conquering every wave.
Imagine yourself surfing down crystal-clear rapids, navigating the river’s flow with a flick of your fins, and feeling the adrenaline surge as you carve through the emerald water. Guided by our expert instructors, you will learn to read the river and use its energy to propel you on an unforgettable journey. It is a pure, unfiltered adventure that connects you directly to the wild heart of Herzegovina.
The Challenge: What to Expect
Hydrospeed is a physically engaging activity that puts you right in the action. It is an exciting workout that requires a moderate level of fitness and a spirit for adventure. You don’t need prior experience, just a willingness to get wet and have an amazing time. Our guides will teach you everything you need to know to navigate the rapids safely.
Your adventure will include:
- A full safety and instructional briefing from a professional guide.

Tour Plan: A Step-by-Step Journey
Your Hydrospeed Itinerary
Hydrospeed tours are dynamic and typically run in the morning or afternoon. The flow of the adventure is focused and action-packed.
Your trip starts at our base in Konjic. You will meet your guide, who will give you an exciting preview of the adventure ahead.
We will get you fitted into your specialized hydrospeed gear. Once you look and feel the part, we will take a short drive to the section of the Neretva River perfect for your hydrospeed descent.
Before entering the water, your guide will conduct a thorough on-shore briefing. You will learn how to hold your board, how to use your fins, and the essential techniques for navigating the rapids safely.
For the next 1.5 to 2 hours, the river is your playground. You will follow your guide, practicing your new skills, surfing waves, and experiencing the thrill of the Neretva head-on.
