Kayaking in Goa - safe, fun and fast to respond
On the lead up to the kayaking trip Raj was very prompt at replying to questions through whatsapp.
Equipment is in good shape, and the river was calm. I felt safe in the kayak with the provided equipment (having kayaked before). Take heed of the warning from Raj that your feet and seat will get wet and do what I didn't do and bring a change of trousers/shorts :)
We had with us an experienced kayaking guide and an English speaking guide; it would have been nice to have been told about the birds and bats and sights we saw. Our guide told us what he knew when we asked but I'm more use to a chattier guide - it didn't take away from our enjoyment though.
We went up and down the river on either side of the Nerul bridge and through the mangroves - my favourite part! Our guide offered us biscuits and sweets as we went and we finished with a sandwich; not sure what the meat options are but the veg option was a salad sandwich with chips. Water bottles were provided.
Overall - I would absolutely trust Raj with a tour in the future. I felt safe and the duration of the tour was worth the cost. I'd just ask the guide more questions about what I wanted to know. Would do it again!

A scam!
I purchased "AGUADA HILL CYCLING TOUR FROM NERUL" online through Viator tours. After waiting a day or two for my voucher/ticket I noticed no contact. I contacted them through email and got no reply after another 48hours. After this I tried calling them and they did not understanding the problem and told me to continuing waiting. I emailed them another two times asking for my money back and they have continued to ignore me. I even went to the venue on the day it was meant to occur and no one was there. essentially they have taken my money and privided nothing.
I do not recommend this deceitful Company.

Hi Lawrence!
Wish u had just got in touch with us instead of posting a factually incorrect review which affects our prospects even though we were not to blame. If u can reach Trip Advisor- u could have emailed/ called us directly as the numbers are on our TripAdvisor page.
Anyway; this is the true story-
* you booked n your money is with Viator n not with us.
* we got a mail from Viator giving us an option to accept/ reject your booking which we rejected as it did not meet our minimum requirement of two people per tour.
* on receiving this they should have given u the reason n refunded your money which may just be a process which takes some time from their end n not a scam as suggested by u.
* ur money is likely to come back, Viator continues to take bookings n we have to live with this scar while we were not to blame.
* u did not find anyone at the muster point as there was no tour on the day n that is the very reason we could not accommodate a single kayaker which we have made very clear to online booking sites.
* I request u to kindly take back ur comments n also give us a direct opportunity to deal with u as then we can find solutions for u. Kindly email me at info@goanaturetrails.com n mark a copy to goatropical@hotmail.com

One of the best ways to view a sunset
We had booked the kayaking tour on a Sunday evening in January. It was a 2-hour tour where each of the participants was given their own boat and necessary paraphernalia. All of the equipment was well-maintained. Getting to the restaurant, where the tour starts, was not difficult. The assisting staff was very courteous and skillful. Although the level of fitness expected is not very high, we had the option of having our boat attached to that of the crew members. By the time we were underneath the bridge, it was dusk and we saw the sunset while rowing across Nerul River. We could carry our phones along and keep it in a pouch at the side of the kayak that had a pack of biscuits and a bottle of water. The ride came with a complimentary supper at Amigos restaurant. Personally, the tour was worth every penny. A must-go for adventure lovers. Looking forward to their cycle tour the next time I visit Goa.

Great Experience!
Nice adventurous Kayak along the picturesque Nerul river. A beautiful respite from the scorching sun. Although, it wasn't so pleasant to see lot of plastic strewn all along. The river also seems to be deprived of varied life forms. A few bird nestings were the only prominent sighting. Its definitely not the best kayak tour but surely a recommended one in Goa. Five stars for the effort put in but 3 star for the state of the river.

Hi Anurag!
Thanks for your review. We're happy to know that you enjoyed your tour of the picturesque Nerul Creek & also noticed some of the bird & wild life in and around the mangrove forests which are self sustaining Eco systems. Goa itself has over 400 varieties of birds; a large number of which nestle in wet lands & mangroves of the State. As you may have realised the Nerul water body we use for kayaking is a sea water tidal creek which besides being picturesque, wild & forested also unfortunately brings back everything strewn by tourists & others all along the coastal areas along with the incoming tide. The entire issue becomes unmanageable even by nature due to the hordes of people that descend on Goa during end December. This combined with the fact that there is no systems in place does lead to visible garbage. We as stakeholders n concerned Nature lovers assure you that we shall continue to create awareness around the belt & try our best to make the authorities move on the issue of systematic garbage management.
I must also bring to your notice that majority of the plastic bottles that you see are actually bottles utilised by traditional fishermen as floats for nets to catch crabs.
Thank you once again for your review n hope that you would be back to a cleaner n greener Goa the next time around. 😊👍

Amazing, fun, and worked up a sweat...
<p>Amazing, fun, and worked up a sweat! A fun few hours out on a mountain bike in small group (6 people) riding up short and steep hill to breathtaking sea views. Then loads more adventure riding along trails and side streets/villages winding down the hill. Superb, highly recommend for keen cyclists.</p>

Wonderful Experience, a must do
My husband and I booked the cycling trip with Goa Nature Trails. We were taken through the charming little by roads and a little bit of a forest to reach the aguada fort. On the way back we took a slightly different route to experience more of the hilly terrain and the lush mangroves. Rajesh, his wife Sangeetha and their team were very friendly and helpful. They took utmost care of our safety ensuring that there was always a guide with us to keep pace with us. We did not feel rushed and were allowed to cycle at a pace that was comfortable. And the team was always at hand to help us over the more difficult terrain. Anyone with moderate stamina can do this and the view from the top pf the aguada fort makes every little effort worthwhile. On the whole this turned out to be one of the best experiences we had in goa. And if we ever go back to goa this is something we will definitely do again.

Adventurous Goa!
Goa has never been so adventurous for me and my sisters! We girls(non-swimmers) had an amazing time kayaking through the thick mangrove forests on the Nerul river with Rajesh and his crew.The hill biking and hiking experience at Fort Aguada really added to the adventure and fun.
We had an amazing time with the friendly hosts Rajesh,his wife Sangeeta and son Manav who made sure we were safe at all times.
Kudos to you Goa nature trails!

A unique experience
First of all thank you Rajesh for organizing such a wonderful cycle tour exclusively for us. The overall experience was nothing less than amazing. The Cycles were in great condition, the guides were friendly and had very good knowledge of the track. We went off road many a times and explored unexplored territory. The snack at Britos was great too. Overall had a great time with Goa Nature Trails and its a MUST DO in goa for all of you.

Goa's best kept secret....
Rajesh along with his wife Sangeetha and son Manav were the perfect hosts for the tour. It is definitely a very different Goa I visited this time exploring locales which were beautiful and activated the adrenaline junkies within us. The kayaking tour was such an extraordinary experience for a non swimmer like me...however the cycling tour was much more fun and the trek to Fort Aguada was an icing on the cake. The view of the ocean was breathtaking and took away all the muscular twinges from the cycling among the tiny lanes of goan vaddos....all in all brilliant experience. Sturdy equipment,experienced guides and exceptional locations. Great going Rajesh!

Bike ride for everybody
Me and my wife we did a nature cycling tour with Raj and his wife. It was a very amazing tour around the nice landscape in Goa. All the bikes were in excellent conditions and Raj take care about our safety. We biked up the mountains and had this beautiful view over the sea. If you like to train yourself and be outside in the nature this is a must do for have a perfect holiday in Goa.
