Swimming, diving, diving, hiking, cycling, rafting, ferraty.... you already know all this and would like more? More fun, more adrenaline, more endorphins? Sure! We have 3 tips for unconventional summer activities that will keep you energized for a long time...
Skywalk
As the name suggests, this is a walk in the sky. Usually on a platform that is glass and attached to a tower or tall building of some sort. Skywalking is booming, its popularity continues to grow and it can now be enjoyed in many places around the world. If you're looking for it, ask around the tallest buildings, it's quite likely to be there.
One of the best views is offered by the Skywalk atop New Zealand's tallest building. Just imagine, you put on a jumpsuit, attach yourself to the (relatively safe-looking) carabiners and walk out through a gate onto the not-so-wide edge of the building. The platform is at a height of just under 200 metres, providing a spectacular view of the whole of Auckland. You can walk around the Skytower and look in all directions. And if you're feeling brave, you can hang over the edge of the platform for an even bigger adrenaline rush. Does that sound like an adrenaline-pumping enough summer activity to you?
Cool, huh?
If you'd like to try Skywalk as soon as possible, but you're not going to Zealand right now, head to Bratislava. In Bratislava, you can enjoy skywalk at the top of the UFO tower, 85 metres up.
Wingwalking
Yes, you understand correctly, it is walking on the wings of an airplane. In flight, of course. You can enjoy this adrenaline rush in various places around the world. But some of the most knowledgeable will show you just outside Oxford in the UK. Here, you'll see the pros from the world's most famous aerobatic group, which is all about the wings. Over 30 years of experience is reassuring enough, but when you have to stand on the wings, you're not so sure...
How does it work then? After a safety briefing and briefing, the instructors will strap you into a "stand" on the wings and off you go!

Don't think this is going to be some sort of scenic flight, quite the opposite! You'll enjoy various twists, flips, turns, dive flight and similar antics. You won't forget this adrenaline rush!
High diving
Don't know what that is? This...
But no, don't worry. High diving for normal people is something else. You don't have to jump from incredible heights or train for years, you just have to have the courage and the desire to enjoy unconventional summer fun. You'll go down a slide like this...

Swimsuits, helmet, vest and a huge slide into some pretty deep water sounds like a lot of fun, don't you think? You can pick and choose how you want it. It's an adrenaline rush either way. But the head-down slide is much more exciting! You drop down, do a flip or three after an incredibly fast descent and sink into a deep lake. Wow! You can try this awesome summer activity in France (at the famous La Norma resort), but also in many other places.
So, which unusual summer adrenaline rush will you try this year?
