Canoeing in Goa

Goa in India is a home of adventure and fun. Picturesque beaches, old temples and churches, and crowded markets, all add to the beauty of Goa. Goa beaches are the cleanest and the most fanciful beaches in India.

Rivers in Goa, such as Chapora, Mandovi, Baga, etc., are the main tourists attractions. They provide a golden opportunity for the people to have fun in the sweet waters.

Conoeing and kayaking are the sports that are enjoyed by the people across the continents. There is a little difference between canoeing and kayaking. In kayaking, you paddle to speed the boat, whereas in canoeing, there are no paddles and you simply use oars to direct and speed the boat. Both of these adventurous sports are available in Goa.

Goa rivers are calm and placid. In this tranquility, there are set small islands and villages. By the shores of these rivers, you will see a splendid untouched greenery. Watch fishermen diving and catching fishes. Dive into the water for snorkeling if it is permitted by the instructor.

If you are going with your better half, there is nothing like sailing along the serene and quiet shores of the Goan islands. It is so peaceful that you will never forget this experience even if you try to.

You can always take a few things like snacks, drinking water, towel, medicine, sunglasses, sun cream, etc., with you before you go on canoeing.

Visiting places like Goa will help you regain your lost passion and zeal, your lost peace of mind, and the lost love for life.
