Water Rafting
An enthralling experience best suited for the monsoon season. It is ideal for beginners and also for seasoned paddlers. You don’t need much preparation, a short brief from the river guides is enough to help you ride the waves of the mystic Mhadei River!
-
Kite-surfing
This activity usually attracts tourists in the winter season from October until April. It is perfect for those who have a keen interest in surfing as it provides a good sense of the waves. A great way to spend the day and build up your appetite for some delicious Goan dinner.
-
Cycling
With numerous tracks and trails to choose from, Goa offers some fabulous cycling tours. Take a ride on the tree-lined roads and catch a glimpse of the sparkling ocean at every bend, or you can opt for the jungle tracks through the lush green forests. You’ll find no shortage of routes to explore.
-
Birdwatching
A fantastic activity for the silent observers out there. Goa’s vegetation provides home to more than 420 species of birds just waiting to be discovered. You can choose to go watching as there are many options of sanctuaries in Goa. Spend your day sighting the birds of paradise.
-
Heritage Walk Fontainhas
Walk through the intriguing history of Goa and experience the culture that supports it. Fontainhas in Panjim is an area well known for its heritage homes. The buildings date back to the time that the Portuguese has colonized the state. Immerse yourself in the colours, the stories and the creativity that lies behind it all.
-
Sound Healing
Being one of the oldest healing methods known to us, sound healing offers deep insight into the understanding of our body and our senses. It involves therapeutic application of sound frequencies to help the body and mind overcome the burden that it bears. A truly meditative journey that relaxes you and relieves your stress.
-
Pottery
Speaking of therapy, you must also try your hand at the potter’s wheel. The soothing sensation of molding clay with your hands holds the power to transport you to another world. Being Goa’s oldest craft, you’ll find many skilled potter’s who will want to share their secrets and their stories.
