Description
Goa almost always conjures up images of miles of sandy beaches. However, there is another great water sport that Goa is also famous for - kayaking. The peaceful waters of the River Nerul, also known as Spike’s River, offer just the backdrop for a delightful encounter with nature at close quarters. As you paddle on the river you also catch glimpses of temples and churches near the shore. Highlights • Mangroves • Several species of birds • River Otters

Itinerary
Nerul
You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to Spike’s Bridge on the River Nerul where your guide-cum-instructor will meet you. You will start your kayaking expedition after a briefing on the river conditions, the flora and fauna of the area and your kayaking equipment. Armed with this information, start paddling on the river and keep a close watch for the birds around you. You can spot Cormorants, Egrets, Herons, Sea Eagles, Ospreys, Lapwings and many others. Paddle past mangroves and keep your eyes towards the shoreline too as you may catch a glimpse of a temple or church as you move forward. You may even spot some River Otters and Mud Crabs and occasionally a fish or two. Take a brief stop for a refreshing drink (fruit juice) before you paddle towards the end of the expedition. You will be driven back to your hotel from the endpoint.
