History of creation of eXtreme Bulgaria

  What is eXtreme Bulgaria? In order to answer that, we will first have to take a look at another question: Who is Atanas Koev? Atanas Koev is a former jet fighter pilot and paraglider pilot, an experienced climber and hiker, a skilled kayaker, skydiver, ATV instructor, travel guide, speleologist and off-road navigator. He is also a happy peace-loving person who can’t get enough of the beauty of the Bulgarian countryside and father of three lovely children whose lives must be full of exciting adventures and fun. But above all he is a man who has managed to turn his dream into reality. That dream is called eXtreme Bulgaria!

  It was 2006 when the club was born, founded by a dedicated trio: Justin Hall, Rostislav Radev, and Atanas Koev. Driven by a pure passion for the outdoors and a desire to share the beauty of our country with the world, eXtreme Bulgaria is a company that is all about high-octane adventures and pushing your boundaries in the safest way possible. As you already read, its founders bring together a wealth of experience, and Atanas, for example, is an expert in almost every conceivable adrenaline-pumping sport there is (and a few additional ones, too), so you’ve got a pretty long and exciting list of activities to pick from. From breathtaking tandem paragliding flights over Sopot and thrilling whitewater rafting on the Struma river, to extreme bungee jumps and dusty buggy safaris, the choices are truly endless.

Naturally, you can combine them in whatever way you want and you can even customise entire itineraries to fit your perfect vacation. The one-week packages and multi-day adventure tours offered at eXtreme Bulgaria deserve a special mention here. They are prepared individually for different clients and take into consideration several subjective factors, including the clients’ personal preferences, physical capabilities, and the specific seasonal weather conditions in the country, for example. The best thing about those one-week tours, however, is that they allow people to immerse themselves completely in the magic realms of Bulgarian nature and culture and spend a nice, varied, adventure-filled holiday. Balance is the absolute key to their success: the fast-paced wild activities are perfectly mixed with relaxing episodes in cool mineral spas, delicious meals in traditional taverns (mehanas), and informative walking tours around some of the country’s most famous historical landmarks and majestic mountain peaks.

The dedicated fans of the countryside and eco-tourism are also more than welcome to visit Atanas in Ivan Vazovo Village near Plovdiv, where he lives together with his family. It serves as a fantastic, peaceful base camp for nature lovers. There they can learn a lot about rural traditions and habits, taste authentic home-cooked cuisine, and experience the genuine perks of living far away from the large, crowded urban centres. Of course, they can engage in several fun outdoor activities such as scenic horseback riding and traditional beekeeping as well.

The last important point that has to be made here is that eXtreme Bulgaria is not exactly a one-man show. Over the years, the founders have managed to put together a great squad of certified professionals and local guides who help them with all their endeavours. They are well trained, highly disciplined, and have a nice sense of humor that will keep you smiling even when the adrenaline hits. Their devotion to safety and quality is outstanding and their approach to clients is always deeply personal and caring.

Now there is just one last thing you have to remember: eXtreme Bulgaria means not only world-class services, premium extreme sports gift vouchers, and amazing adventures, but true friendship as well. We are always ready to welcome you into our growing family of thrill-seekers!
