Water Sports In Goa: A Guide

For some excitement, you can skim over the River Mandovi on hovercraft, or try the pedal boats and aqua bikes at the Dona Paula jetty (Panaji), Ourem Creek at Patto, Panaji and at the Mayem Lake. If that sounds too tiring, take a leisurely river cruise on the Santa Monica luxury yacht that includes a cultural programme of Goan folk songs and dances. You can choose a cruise to suit your schedule -- an hour-long cruise at sunset (6 pm) or sundown (7.15 pm); two-hour island pleasure cruise; the 5-hour pleasure cruise starting at ten in the morning along the course of the Mandovi and Zuari rivers, or, if you are lucky to be there, the enchanting full moon cruise! Also available are the range of water sports at the Baga beach. There is a lot of variety to choose from - para-sailing, jet skiing, motorboat, water scooters and so on. The latest attraction is the bungee jump!
