Top Goa Dining Experiences

Hi globe trotter! Join me on the most picturesque kayaking experience in the backwaters of river Chapora --- a calm, little-known river, yet home to unique fauna and birds. We walk by the river as we sip on some freshly picked tender coconut water before we start kayaking in one of the cleanest river waters in the country. We watch birds fly and fish jump out of the water almost always in this pure ,untouched hinterland experience of a lifetime, leaving you yearning for more of a Goa that you never knew existed. The trail is easy and short, lasting around 2 hours. While kayaking is a fairly easy exercise in the calm backwaters, NON -SWIMMERS,PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER KAYAKED BEFORE, interested CHILDREN and SENIOR CITIZENS can enjoy this activity in absolute safety with me in government licensed kayaks and safety equipment , accompanying you throughout.
