PRACTICAL INFO

Where, what and how… here are the basics!

How does it
work?

The idea of this event is that you come to practice your own sport or passion, with the opportunity to try out others. Whether you’re a mountain biker that wants to try canyoning, or a paraglider that wants to learn skydiving, this is your opportunity. For many sports we organise beginner introductions or entry level courses. For some however, a minimum experience is required. Detailed info per activity can be found on the Sports page.

When you sign up, you pay a basic registration fee which already includes 4 adventure tickets. These tickets function as the currency of the event and can be used to pay for sport activities and courses. Half-day activities typically cost around 1-2 adventure tickets. For most of them you can sign up during the event. For some multi-day courses it’s best to reserve beforehand.

To reserve your slot you need to pay a non-refundable registration fee and agree to our general booking conditions.

The location

Bovec, Slovenia

Slovenia is a spectacular country, in some ways comparable to the landscape of Norway, Switzerland and New Zealand. The Soca valley is one of the most beautiful areas in the country with the charming mountain village of Bovec sitting right on the border of the Triglav National Park. It’s surrounded by mountain peaks and right through the middle of it all runs the clear turquoise coloured Soca river, famed for its world class kayaking. The village is a lively outdoor sports town with plenty of little restaurants, where a meal and a drink are still affordable.

Accommodation

You have several options for accommodation.

  1. You can reserve a campsite spot for your tent or camper/RV free of charge (a reservation link will be sent to you before the event)

  2. You can book a hotel, hostel or apartment. Here are our recommendations. We’ve secured 10% discount for you at each of these, if you book directly (not via booking.com) and mention “adventure boogie”. 

Getting there

When you sign up you’ll get invited to our ride sharing / room sharing chat group.

F.A.Q.

  • No. You can choose to sign up for week 1, week 2 or both weeks. Event weeks start and finish on Saturday and it’s OK to come a day early or leave a day later. You can decide to stay shorter than one week, but that will not change the price of your ticket.

  • The week that you are there.

  • It’s OK to come a day early or leave a day later. If you plan to stay longer than that, we ask you to book for both weeks. Staying shorter than a week is always possible but that will not change the price of your ticket.

  • There are two types of registration for the event: MOUNTAIN and SKYDIVE. A MOUNTAIN registration is for people without a skydiving license. With this registration you can join all activities during Adventure Boogie except for sport skydiving. With a SKYDIVE registration, you can do everything that you can with MOUNTAIN, plus all skydiving activities.

    The only skydiving activities you can do with a MOUNTAIN registration, are a tandem jump (a freefall skydive from 4km altitude while attached to your tandem instructor) or an AFF course (get your own skydive licence with a 1 day ground course followed by minimum 7 freefall skydives with an instructor).

  • The extra budget is used to pay load organisers, dropzone logistics and extra manifest staff.

  • Yes, they work like a currency during the event. You can give / lend tickets to someone else and you can get unused tickets refunded until the last day of the event.

  • We have a Signal chat group that can be used for ride sharing and accommodation sharing. You will get invited to the group after you sign up for the event.

  • For sport introductions we provide demo gear. For some intermediate level courses like paragliding you will need your own equipment. Skydive equipment can be rented on site. The AFF course and freedive course are including rental gear.

  • That will depend on the rainfall. Usually June is good for kayaking and rafting.

  • The weather changes a lot and forecasts are unpredictable. You can have sunshine 30 minutes after a thunderstorm. However:

  • Details for 2023 coming soon.

  • Our goal is to offer different levels for most activities: from beginner try outs, to intermediate course/coaching to expert level. This is not always possible and you can click on every activity in the program to see what the options are for that particular sport.

  • No. Without registration for the event, you will not be able to join any of the activities. That includes skydiving.

  • For 2023 we have confirmed a Supervan C208 and a Pilatus Porter PC6.

  • Zero. You are welcome at any level and as a total beginner you can book an AFF course (Accelerated Free Fall). There will be a minimum level required for some skydive activities like innhopps and mountain swooping.

  • There will be two planes running, a Supervan and a Pilatus. We calculate capacity based on previous events and the fact that people join other activities besides from skydiving. Some moments will be busier than others and you can adjust your personal activity program to that.

  • You can find our cancellation policies here.
