White Water Rafting
If you thought that water sports were only available in Goa during the months of October to May, then you need to think again. With the introduction of river rafting by Southern River Adventures, Goa’s water sports scene has just reached a whole new level of fun. This sport, unlike the others is at its zenith during the monsoon season when the rivers are swollen from the heavy rains.
These trips take the intrepid visitor away from the normal Goan beach scenes into the wilderness of the Western Ghats. The trip is both picturesque and exciting, providing plenty of thrills for the adrenaline junkie. The rapids are class two and three rapids and so suitable for both beginner and veteran rafters. This is the best monsoon water sport in Goa.
Wind Surfing
Windsurfing is a unique blend of surfing and sailing, which requires the surfer to adjust his strength and balance to the changing patterns of wind and water.
Windsurfing trainers and experts alike claim Dona Paula bay to be the ideal location for beginners. The prevailing winds and the calm sea, ensure almost lake-like conditions. The morning breeze is light and steady — just right for learners; while stronger winds that set in during the afternoons offer a perfect challenge for the more experienced.
