Enjoy Your Winter Holidays in Goa with Thrilling Activities

by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

Tourists from different parts of the world flock to Goa every year mainly due to the presence of many sandy beaches in this Indian state, which is the smallest in the country with regards to total land area. However, you'll also get ample opportunities to indulge in some exciting activities in this part of the world while enjoying your winter holidays. As the coastline of Goa stretches along the Arabian Sea, most of the activities would be water-based. You can also enjoy some activities that are arranged by the tour operators on the beach or in regions that are further inland.

While enjoying your Goa holidays, one of the best outdoor activities you'll get to indulge in is bungee jumping. This activity is conducted throughout the year except in the monsoon months from mid-June to mid-August. Winter is the best time to enjoy bungee jumping as the season has ideal conditions for the activity. It is conducted by trained masters who have the required expertise and experience to guide you in the activity. There are certain things to be kept in mind before you begin the jump. You must not have a heart problem, high blood pressure, back-ache, fracture, dislocations, or osteoporosis. Wearing proper shoes is also necessary for bungee jumping.

You'll get the chance to witness the diverse marine beings in greater depths while exploring Coral Garden, Bounty Bay, and any of the other dive sites with the help of scuba diving. There are more than a hundred species of fish that can be spotted at such places. The tour begins with a boat ride on the Arabian Sea. You can be assured of safety as the operators conducting the scuba diving tours are affiliated with SSI and PADI. They have the required equipment and infrastructure that would make your scuba diving expedition an exciting experience.

One of the activities that would make your winter holidays in this Indian state truly memorable is hot-air ballooning. Your hot-air balloon tour would begin early in the morning around 6:30. You'll be taken to the site and a short safety briefing would be provided before the balloon takes off. The pilot and the crew are professionals who would ensure your safety. The total time in the air would be about an hour and these balloons are usually capable of seating up to 7 adults. In a short while after the take-off, you'll find yourself floating over the golden beaches and green fields.

Sea-rafting is one of the most thrilling activities you'll get to enjoy while holidaying in Goa. It is conducted by the local operators after the monsoon season, as this is the perfect time to be on the beaches and take a ride in one of the professional rafts. Adventure enthusiasts would have a great time taking a spin in these rafts as they leave the beach behind and get into the waters. You can have a guaranteed booking of the slots by paying in advance to pre-book the trip. Such tours also require you to wear secure footwear and carry some necessary items, such as a towel and clothes for changing.
