Not for the faint hearted but only for the fittest!
Goa Kayaking's Zuari River Loop (whole day kayaking trip of 24-27 km.) starts at the Agassaim Ferry Jetty at 7 am on Sunday February 23, 2014, meanders along the right bank of the Zuari passing sleepy villages and hamlets - listen to the Sunday mass hymns from the chapels/churches that dot the riverline!
Stop and explore some of these small fishing hamlets!
Or watch the birdlife - terns, sea eagles, ospreys, brahminy kites hunt and prey on marine life on the waterline.
Stop for rest, swimming and sunbathing at the innumerable small beaches, lagoons, inlets at, Siridao, Bambolim, etc.
Reach Bambolim beach at 10.30 am and cool off at the beach shacks with a chilled can of beer!
Explore the beach, enjoy a slow lunch and marvel at the scenic beauty of the place.
Start your return journey with an incoming tide and crossover to the left bank this time.
Lookout for Vasco harbour and fishing jetty, Vasco city from the water line, and stop at small riverine beaches/lagoons for rest and .exploration.
Visit the island of the Cross with its unique beach formed with yes, seashells!
Paddle on to the beautiful San Jacinto Island and explore a 400 year old church and unique island culture that does not permit non islanders to become land owners!
