When contemplating adventure in Goa, most people’s minds would leap to water sports or trekking. Yet, there’s an entire range of experiences beyond the beaches and watersports activities that defines the essence of Goa’s spirit of adventure.
So, get up and explore Goa beyond the shorelines, and unveil a diverse range of activities that cater to various interests and preferences.
GO PARAGLIDING
For those seeking an adrenaline rush of a different kind, Goa offers exhilarating offbeat options, such as paragliding, where you explore the lush landscapes that define this beautiful state of Goa.
This aerial adventure amidst stunning coastal landscapes and panoramic views is definitely worth trying.
Predictably, this activity takes place along the coastlines of Goa, where favourable wind conditions and expansive open spaces provide ideal conditions to launch and land.
One such organiser that offers both, paragliding and mountaineering, is Hike and Fly.
Prior to your paragliding experience, you will get well-instructed by experienced pilots regarding safety measures so that you can have a safe and enjoyable experience.

To accelerate your thrill of the adventure even more, you can try bungee jumping. One such provider of this experience is Jumping Heights where there is certified equipment and trained staff to ensure you are safe during the activity.
This experience is truly adrenaline-pumping as you leap from the towering platform.
If this idea scares you, fear not because prior to the jump, you will receive thorough safety instructions and be harnessed securely by trained instructors.
A few pointers to keep in mind is that a minimum of 40 kg in weight and a maximum of 110 kg is required.
While you stand on that height of the tower, embrace the breathtaking view of the surroundings, in this case, the Mayem lake.
