Top Water Sports in Goa Beyond Scuba Diving

Goa is great for water sports. Scuba diving is the one we’d push you towards, but there’s plenty else on the water to keep the adrenaline going.

Note: Before booking any of these activities, please check the company background, office, equipment and ratings to have the safest experience possible. For scuba diving, check whether the centre is affiliated with SSI or PADI.

Parasailing

Parasailing is one of the most popular water sports in Goa. You get strapped in, the boat pulls you up, and you’re hanging high above the sea looking down the coastline. You’ll find it on most beaches, including Baga, Calangute, and Anjuna.

Jet Skiing

If you like speed, go for the jet ski. They’re available for rent on the main beaches, and you can open it up across the waves.

Snorkeling

If you’re not ready for scuba diving but still want to see what’s underwater, snorkeling is the easy way in. Honestly though, we don’t push it in Goa. Visibility here swings a lot, and you won’t see much compared to spots like the Andaman. 

Dolphin Watching

Dolphin watching is the calm one. You head out by boat and watch dolphins in the open sea. Tours run from several beaches, including Palolem and Candolim. Dolphins are also often spotted on the way to Grande island before we dive and on the boat ride while we return.
