What to expect

Gliding under overhanging mango trees and through lotus ponds, this kayaking tour is as serene as it comes. You'll paddle your way along one of the tributaries of Goa's famous Sal Backwaters where migrating birds, otters and fish frolic in among the mangroves, waterways and tall grasses.

On arrival at Nuvem, you'll get the lowdown on local flora and fauna and learn how to safely manoeuvre your kayak before settling in and setting off. Then follow your guide, gliding through narrow waterways deep into the mangroves under the shade of cashew, bamboo and mango trees.

You'll get to spot birds at arm's length, including kingfishers, cormorants, lapwings, pin-tailed ducks and hundreds more. And if you're lucky, you'll hopefully see otters feeding on the shores. You'll wind your way through red and white lotus ponds and tall grasses too, stopping along the way for a snack. Overall, you'll cover around 4.5 to 6km.
