Banana Rides for Groups

Go crazy! The banana boat ride is not as smooth as it seems. You must know that banana boat rides are quite popular in Goa. The inflatable boat is shaped like the banana fruit, and it can accommodate up to 6 people.

If you are going in a group, you must try the banana boat ride. Don’t you worry about a thing! You will be provided with life jackets, and the professional instructors would make sure that you stay safe! But, the whole fun of doing this sport is actually falling off the boat and into the water.

Scuba Diving at its BEST: Meet the Fish

Get up close with the marine life and try scuba diving. Go beyond snorkeling because the diving experience changes your whole perspective towards life.
If you wish to try scuba diving, you can visit the Grand Island, Pigeon Island, Netrani Island, and Devagh Island. We would suggest you start with Grand Island. It is considered to be an ideal place for beginners.

For Scuba diving, you must carry up to INR 5,000-6,000 for the experience.

Goa is meant for trying all the adventure water sports. If you are in Goa, you cannot miss the experience of parasailing. You will be up and close to the wind! Gliding over the Arabian Sea like a bird is a beautiful feeling. It is comparatively easy for beginners and offers you a beautiful view from the top.
