If you are someone who’s scared of adventure water sports but still wants to taste the spirit of Goan waters, Kayaking is for you. Imagine yourself in a small boat-like structure called a Kayak, holding a lightweight paddle, cruising in the backwaters of Goa. During monsoons, Kayaking is banned in the sea due to safety reasons but you can go for river Kayaking with the help of professional Kayaking masters of Goa!
