Goa Kayaking - Trip of the Month October 2010 - The Nerul River Paddle
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
Monday, October 18, 2010
Goa Kayaking’sTrip of the month - October 24,2010
October 24, 2010 – The
Emptying into the Arabian Sea at the famous Coco beach, the thick green mangroves, birdlife and unique river bed fishing nets make it a must see trip for all ages.
As we paddle up river on a incoming tide, watch the early morning sunrise make an orange glow on the waters!
Hear temple bells as early morning prayers rise upwards with the rising sun – a new day!
Silently glide into the mangroves with your experienced trip leader and guide as you take in the breathing views and vistas that continually open in front of you.
Bird calls and the chirping of the young wet ones signals wake up as the mangroves come alive with bird and marine life at handshaking distance.
In total silence, glide along marveling at the different birds, small river bank dwellers and the early morning fishermen, laying their crab nets.
The river winds its way past paddy fields, ripening with yellow grain, fishing villages and moorings, quaint riverbank dwellings, some monstrous but unbelievable sights.
Oohs and Aahs! - a photographers’ paradise, we almost always finish late waiting for that one last picture, the right angle, a bungled pic’ or just plain soaking in the sun!
The Nerul river paddle – be there!

Last opportunity to learn kayaking before the monsoons!
This program is being conducted in association with Goa Tourism and Drishti Special Response Services who will look after all the safety aspects and logisticThis
This the last opportunity for those who missed out earlier before the monsoons set in.
Trained members enjoy river and coast kayaking expeditions, on every weekend and public holiday throughout the fair season(October to May).
Training is imparted in the different strokes, safety aspects, basic sea faring skills, identifying the tides, assisting others and leadership and participation in expedition skills.
Trained and certified international water sports instructors (the best in the country) along with our own Goa Kayaking trained members and instructors build confidence and kayaking skills in every trainee.
Two trained lifeguards on a jet ski along with our instructors will always be accompanying the kayakers at all times. (though they really don't need all that!)
