Loved the kayaking experience. Both Prakash and Ketan (his son) are seasoned, knowledgeable and friendly. All instructions were clear and safety measures were in place. Special shoutout to our guide Shankar for making it a wholesome experience
Calm and peaceful experience guided by warm and welcoming people. We did not expect to enjoy as much as we did and can’t wait to go back and do it all over again soon.
We requested the team to arrange a personal kayaking tour and the same was agreed on very short notice. Very helpful guide and all safety procedures were very well taken care of. We got a 1.5 hour of the Candolim mangrove area and it was such a memorable experience. Would definitely recommend to choose Goa kayaking for all your adventure requirements and you can be sure that you are in safe hands! Cheers Ketan, Prakash and team. See you again soon!!
If you're planning to visit Goa, kayaking is a must-do activity. Our experience at Goa Kayaking was one of our best, and the host Ketan Alfonso was extremely sweet and energetic. We had to miss one of our group members because he was asleep, and he felt devastated when we shared our experience and pictures with him. We found the kayaks to be in good condition and they also offered a wider kayak if we weighed over 100 kilograms. It was very easy to follow the instructions, so do not worry and just enjoy it without any pressure. We would like to thank Goa Kayaking for providing us with such an unforgettable memory that we will take back home.
Amazing experience, we had a great time and loved it. The guide also took pics and videos for us which is amazing. Thank you so much goakayaking
Extremely well organized, Mr Alphonso and his son are very clear and transparent and also accord safety the highest priority, the guide who went with us, Mr Shankar, was instrumental in ensuring that my 8 year old son was able to not only manage his own Kayak but also do more than the normal stretch. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see a calmer, beautiful side of Goa, through an experience which also teaches a particular skill
We had an excellent kayaking experience in the Mandovi River backwaters surrounded by mangroves. There were 5 of us from two families. I had a detailed chat with Prakash, the proprietor who had personally come to give us instructions, while the family members were preparing to leave the place after kayaking. Realised that Prakash himself is very passivate about kayaking and used to kayak regularly before he set up the business. I think that makes all the difference. Clear instructions on safety, on time and highly dependable. He made it make all so simple and enjoyable.
Goa kayaking gave me and my family a wonderful and calming experience. Mr Prakash and his team were very cordial and patient, allowing us to experience and explore the mandovi backwaters on our own terms. They even allowed us to carry our puppy on the Kayaks, which made our trip even joyous. Will definitely be visiting again soon.
Excellent experience My 10 year old loved it so much It was fun and safe Would recommend Mr prakash from goakayaking for same Thanks
