As the world knows, Goa offers so many water activities which includes the water sports. From nature lovers to adventure enthusiasts, Goa has something for everyone.

Water sport options are in abundance. You can choose from the options, you can also book a package which offers all the watersports together. Some of the best watersports on offer are:
We are going to be a bit partial while ranking the watersports. Jet skiing in Goa is my personal favorite. Speed is the need and Jet Ski ride on the Arabian Sea is simple divine. You might feel a bit nervous on the first go, but with the skilled guide, soon will be soaked in the excitement of gliding over the waves.
Amongst the various swift watersports, speed boating is not exactly a water sport but rather a water activity. The boats are heavy and so swift that they reach to 15 to 20 mph. You can spot dolphins and the guide will keep on telling you which beach you are crossing. The best part about speed boat ride (See Video) is how the sea water falls on your face like drizzle.
People crave for parasailing water sport in Goa. Who doesn’t want to fly high and reach the clouds? Everyone loves to touch the sky. A rope of around 300 mtr is tied to the parasail and the other end is tied to the speedboat. When the speed boat starts, the individual automatically lifts from the ground. It’s amazing. You can enjoy the aerial view of Goa. Parasailing fulfills your wish of flying like birds. Children below the age of 15 years are not allowed because of safety measures.
Look like a banana and move like a snake, this is an apt definition of a banana ride. It is actually a group task, while going for this, you need to trust others. The most comfortable and the most adventurous watersport activity is banana ride. You will be provided with life jackets and will also be told about some guidelines to remember. This ride can accommodate around 6 people at a time. You will surely love the speed with which it brushes on the surface of the water.
Your water sports enjoyment is totally incomplete without the bumper ride fun (Bumper Ride video). You are placed in a large air filled rubber tube and you are pulled by a speed boat and of course you are on the surface of the Arabian Sea. Isn’t it amazing? Yes, of course it is. This is an out of the world experience. At the best price, you can book this awesome bumper ride or you can go for a package too.
To get a glimpse of the aquatic world, scuba diving is the best water sport for marine lovers. Takes place in North Goa, it is a 7 hour long activity where you are instructed on the boat by DIVE Master and then accompanied by an instructor you are taken to the open sea. Booking a package is the best way to enjoy scuba diving in Goa freely.
Kayaking is the funkiest way to explore the sea as well as the backwaters. Goa offers both. You can enjoy kayaking in Palolem beach. You can explore the backwaters at Sylvan Siridao in Zuari river. You will definitely love the mangroves and the chirping birds there. (Kayaking Video, Goa)
