Goa Kayaking in the Monsoons!


Enjoy the best of Goa, kayaking deep inside the mangroves on the Spike's River Paddle.


Its dripping, its green and its fun as you negotiate round that bush in the middle or bend your head to pass under the boughs, moving single file in between the roots and in the maze.

Ever seen tiny red crabs, crawling on the trees like ants? Thousands of them make for an unbelievable sight!

Kayaking in the mangroves is something surreal!




Still not convinced? Ask yesterday's group!
















Don't wait! To book your places every single day of the week, call Goa Kayaking's Prakash Alfonso now!

Its goodbye to the Sal Backwaters till November 2017 - Goa's most popular and celebrated kayaking excursion!


Its goodbye to the Sal Backwaters - Goa's most popular and celebrated kayaking excursion!

The waters have receded and the dam gates are opened up as we get ready to welcome the monsoons.

Its been a wonderful year/season, as we welcomed hordes of guests, both local as well as tourists, who were wonderstruck at the serene, scenic beauty of the Sal Backwaters.

See you all next season from November 01, 2017.

Goa Kayaking will continue having regular daily kayaking trips even in the monsoons, but now only the sheltered and scenic Spike's River Paddle and the riverbank hugging, Zuari River Dash will be on offer.

Moonlight Kayaking in the Zuari for the last time this season 2017

Goa Kayaking's Moonlight Sonata

Moonlight river.

Moonlight river.

Down the moonlit river, I sail with my soul alone.

The glimmering water dances across my paddle, it sings to me songs of the unknown.


A hundred shimmering fish swim by, their fins forged of gems and jewels from the night sky.

Silver trees on either side, their ethereal leaves whisper and glide.

Glistening whorls ripple into place, across my kayak their translucent lines trace.

Forevermore shall I sail this stream, and ever will live, this ethereal dream.


Lightly paddle as you glide in the silvered darkness of the night!

Goa's Zuari river is one long, broad, silvery road where the moon is your guide and you the driver!

Experience and feel the silvered silence!
