Experience an underwater paradise as you scuba dive into the Arabian Sea. A 45-minute boat ride from the shore of Goa will take you to the pristine waters of Grande Island where you will find magnificent corals, exotic fish and if you are lucky, humpback dolphins put on a show. Goa has plenty of dive schools, but for the best adventure experience, join the professionals at Dive Goa which specialises in wreck and reef diving.
Delve into the heart of nature and test your endurance with waterfall rappelling at the mesmerising Dudhsagar falls. The four-tiered majestic waterfall is situated on the Mandovi River and is accessible through a one-hour jungle trek. Equip yourself with safety gear as you take on the challenging climb down the roaring waterfall. Along the trek, keep your eyes open for monkeys, birds, and other wildlife.
Get a bird's eye view of Goa as you soar into the sky on a hot air balloon ride over the scenic Assolda grounds. The one-hour ride will take you over the lush greenery, shimmering lakes and quaint villages, making for an unforgettable adventure. Keep your camera handy as you capture the panoramic landscape from a unique perspective. After the exhilarating ride, indulge in some local Goan cuisine and wine at the Assolda Grounds restaurant.
If you have extra time, you can add a surf lesson at Ashwem beach or enjoy a yoga meditation programme at Anahata Retreat in Assagao. If you have less time, you can skip the hot air balloon ride and explore the historic city of Old Goa which is known for its ancient churches and museums.
