Beautiful Goa has everything for the explorer and the casual tourist with a vast jungle of unexplored wilderness and the beautiful beaches that are crowded till late night. Engaging in adventure tours in Panaji like treks, water sports and nature walks will make the trip to Goa memorable. The Todo waterfall trek takes around half a day and is through some of the greenest sections of Goa’s jungles and mountain streams.
The sight of the majestic waterfalls and sparkling waters may urge you to take a quick dip in the cool waters, but be careful as the stones are slippery. For a quick tour of the important islands of South Goa one should first head out to the Chorao Island and then visit the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary by pedalling through the uninhabited sections of the island before moving on to Divar island. After enjoying the stunning ride through picturesque Diwar, island travellers can head over to Succour Church for rest and relaxation. The Nerul Creek cycling tour is ideal for tourists that want to explore the natural beauty of Goa as it takes them from Nerul Creek to Sinquerim fishing villages to Aguada fort and then back to Amigos across beaches of Candolim, Calangute and Baga.
The popularity this region has increased after it was showcased in several Bollywood movies. For a close encounter with dolphins head out on an early morning cruise to Dona Paula and watch these majestic creatures carrying out their playful activities in the open sea. Sometimes they even allow people to swim alongside their group if they are in a playful mood. Few people can overcome their fear of drowning to undertake adventure tours in Panaji like snorkelling and scuba-diving, but this place can take that fear out of even the most reluctant swimmer. Classes are carried out by experts in Calangute that train students to use the equipment and slowly overcome their fear so that they can explore the underwater marine life of Goa on their own.
