Combined HydroSpeed and Paintball in Mondariz, Galicia

Context HydroSpeed is an aquatic sport involving descending wild rivers using a hydrodynamic sled, flippers, and neoprene. In Mondariz, Galicia, the Ulla River offers a 6 km stretch with rapids and sufficient flow for this medium-difficulty activity. Fresh winds carry the scent of pine and forest moisture from the nearby woods.

The Experience You’ll begin with a safety briefing and equipment distribution: neoprene suit, helmet, life jacket, and flippers. Guided by certified instructors, you’ll descend the river using only your flippers, feeling the river’s power and the smooth glide of the sled. After the HydroSpeed run, you’ll switch to a new outdoor paintball field with immersive settings like abandoned villages and dense forests, where the sound of gunfire blends with natural surroundings to create a realistic tactical game.

For Whom This activity suits individuals with moderate fitness, who can swim and are at least 12 years old. It’s ideal for groups of friends, families with older children, and corporate teams seeking a dynamic, varied challenge. Not suitable for people with limited mobility or those who cannot swim.
