Goa Kajakken in Spike's River

A good experience, safe and excellent instruction. Kayaks great to ride and a lovely local guide took us out on the river. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and met with a cold beer at the end. Only lost a point as I felt it was quite expensive compared with other trips I have done in the UK and Europe.

We had a wonderful time kayaking in Spike's river. Ketan was very helpful and answered all our questions. He was flexible with timings and arranged a tour for us at a timing that was convenient for us, as we had a flight to catch the same evening. The guide who came with us was very kind, professional and also took many photos and videos of ours! Overall, a peaceful experience and a good workout for those arms! ????

Prakash gave us instructions and left us in the hands of Satish his guide with big heart. Apart from the beauty of the river and it’s birds we found a cow trapped in the mangrove trees and almost drowned. We, the two girls from Bulgaria and Satish decided to save the cow. It sounds easy, but was quite scary as the cow was frightened and anxious and it took us two more hours and an additional trip to find a machete and go back to cut the brunches. Funny though in the middle of all this fight was the doubt our insurance could cover injuries by cow in a river :) 4 hours later that looked like 24, we saved the cow, got back exhausted, thirsty and hungry and Prakash surprised us with “village lunch” you eat with fingers: fish, rice, chilly, few salads, drinks… And he refused to received any payment for this generous lunch, being foreign tourists would care about a local cow. “You did your good deed saving our cow, now I have to do my good deed feeding all three of you.” India at its best! Thank you. Namaste.
