List of the Most Extreme Sports

Imagine one day your mum discovers what your real hobbies are. She’d probably say: "But son, what are you doing risking your life with a bunch of lunatics?" But as we always say: "We’re not mad, we’re fun."



If the other day we talked about the adventure sports you must try once in your life, here’s a list of the 12 most extreme sports. Dare to try them?


This is one of the sports where you can experience the most adrenaline, and it lasts the longest. You can find this activity in several regions across the country from €155 for a simple tandem jump or from €175 with HD video.

Trust me, when you try it, you’ll experience a sensation like never before—one you won’t easily forget. But since you’ll likely only do it once in your life, it’s highly recommended to get the video as a keepsake.



And if you realise it’s your thing, you can even get certified as a professional skydiver. Explore all the options here.


Reserved only for the brave few—and with proper certification, of course. This variant of skydiving involves jumping from fixed structures like buildings, cranes, or cliffs, followed by a few seconds of freefall before deploying the parachute.



Pure, unadulterated adrenaline!


A combination of the above but far more extreme, as it involves wearing a "bird suit" and leaping into the void, gliding during the fall. The speeds reached are staggering: up to 200 km/h. To try it, you’ll need a skydiving license and ample experience before taking the course and diving into this discipline.

Here’s a video that’ll blow your mind:





This balance sport involves crossing from one end to the other on a flat, anchored rope or webbing stretched between two high points (if the height is low, it’s called "slacklining"). Once you’ve mastered crossing without falling, the fun begins with tricks, jumps, and flips. A harness is used to prevent a deadly fall.



Could you walk across at heights like these?


No list would be complete without one of the most popular activities in our country. As you know, bridge swinging involves leaping off a bridge with a dynamic rope attached to a waist harness. Bungee jumping is less common but growing—it uses an elastic cord tied to the ankles, often from a crane (or bridge).

Lately, rope jumping is also trending... See for yourself:





A climbing variant for those with rock experience, as it’s more technically demanding. Unlike traditional climbing with hands and climbing shoes, it requires ice axes to grip the ice and crampons on boots to anchor into frozen surfaces.



Waterfalls worldwide witness climbers scaling their icy heights yearly.


A derivative of bouldering, where you climb short, ropeless routes over water. Practised in the sea, rivers, or reservoirs, the water cushions falls. You’ll need to swim or boat to the starting point.



Mallorca is a top destination for this in Spain.


An extreme sport reserved for certified divers, as it’s more complex than recreational diving. The sensory impact is... utterly indescribable.



In Spain, it’s done in places like Panticosa Lakes (frozen in winter), where surface and underwater landscapes are surreal. Fancy it? Check out ice diving courses.


One of the most thrilling ways to explore unique, hidden worlds. Wrecks are sunken treasures—ships, planes, statues— many now thriving coral reefs. Caves reveal astonishing, unseen places. Certification is required unless it’s a shallow, beginner-friendly dive.



After getting your Open Water, you’re set.


If you love MTB, you’ll adore this: racing down mountain trails, deserts, or gorges at full speed, navigating natural and man-made obstacles. It’s now a competitive sport.




The record? 222 km/h! Mind-blowing!


Never heard of it? It’s paragliding meets skiing. Ski normally but with a paraglider on your back—sometimes flying, sometimes shredding downhill. Brilliant, right?





Last but not least: jumping from a helicopter onto untouched snow, then skiing or snowboarding down a mountain. Need we say more?
