Overview
Goa almost always conjures up images of miles of sandy beaches. However, there is another great water sport that Goa is also famous for - kayaking. The peaceful waters of the River Nerul, also known as Spike’s River, offer just the backdrop for a delightful encounter with nature at close quarters. As you paddle on the river you also catch glimpses of temples and churches near the shore.

Armed with this information, start paddling on the river and keep a close watch for the birds around you. You can spot Cormorants, Egrets, Herons, Sea Eagles, Ospreys, Lapwings and many others.
