The
vacations I have spent in Goa are most precious moments that are still
carved on my heart and I often feel the touch of soft golden sand on my
feet, fragrance of the fresh seafood, the dazzling prismatic light of the
sun setting into the sea. Goa offered a panorama where one can be most
luxuriated in blue waters, over the damp sand, a tour to Goa is like a fairy
tale cruiser that never ends.
Being an adventure lover right from the beginning, the desire always crept
in my heart to indulge in some water sports in the deep seas of India and
nothing could have been more better then Goa. To quench my lust for
adventure with aqua sports I packed my bags and baggage's and landed at the
Goa airport. Certainly aqua sports gave me opportunity to feel the aberrant
and aquatic grandeur that abides on the magnificent beaches of Goa. These
are the most amazing reminiscence that I will always enjoy whenever I cater
myself pursuing aqua sports in my most precious thoughts.
Aqua sports are truly the best to experience the extent of Goan Magic. One
of my Goan friends told me that the beaches of Goa offer some of the best
aqua sports in the whole Asia and one must try out some like Wind Surfing,
Yachting, Scuba diving, speed boats, para sailing, swimming.
As my hotel was just at the walking distance from the beach, I could enjoy
all sorts of beech activities taking place on the beach from my hotel
window, that also prompted me more to indulge in the water sports
activities.
Para sailing was my first choice, as I could not resist the temptation of
sailing with the wind. A long rope almost 300 feet in length of a parachute
was attached to my speedboat, as the boat picked up speed I could find my
self flying in the air in the blue sky, soon I was submerged in to the vast
blue universe around me. All the natural charisma the gorgeous golden sun,
the nonchalantly flying birds, the splendid white clouds made me feel as if
I am sailing on them. Raghunath my coordinator told me that some times if
boats are not available then water scooters are readily available at Dona
Paula jetty, Cidade de Goa, Majorda Oberoi which also adds an equal charm to
this sport.
After encountering the blue sky, now it was time to get familiar with the
vast blue waters that beautifies the glory of the mysterious earth.
Next sports that excited me most was to have a ride on a speedy boat, as
driving on the road was always very thrilling for me. Well my drive on the
speedboat was most absorbing, I experience the feeling that I never had
before. I booked a speed boat ride to Taj Hotels as my guide told me that
Cicade, Oberoi and Taj hotels have much powerful boats and should try them.
He also allowed me to drive the boat to few kilometers with full time under
watch, it was just out of this world experience, crossing the high tides
riding deep into the blue seas.
My enthusiast guide informed me that the normal speed of the boats in Goa
is 10-15 miles per hour. It can also reach up to the speed of 30 to 40 miles
per hour if the henchmen are more daring. Normally these boats make
excellent cruiser to the tourist destination like Old Goa, Fort Aguda and
many other places. The boat ride made just a magnificent trip of the blue
waters.
There was no end to these adventure sports in Goa seas, I was in full mood
to try for scuba diving as I herd from other adventure seekers like me who
had already experienced the thrill of deep insides of the sea. Due to lack
of time I could not indulge in any other sports in Goa as I had to board the
plane that very night, back to my native country Saudi. I came back with
some most cherished memories that will always remain in my heart well
preserved.
