Summary: This was our second kayaking trip with Mihir from make it happen. This experience took us to a small uninhabited Island via a 10 mins boat ride and a 10 min walk through a quaint neighborhood . On reaching the island, we were greeted by a bubbly crisp Kokum drink. we spent some time exploring the island and then went on to circumvent the island via kayak. During kayaking, we explored the mangroves, observed birds like Egrets looking for dinner, Cormorants flying in a V shaped formation, Brahmani Eagle perched atop a tree magnetically, , Ibis flying with poise and elegance!! We learnt a lot about river water commerce, navigation and lots of innumerable informational tit bits that came through in our conversations with Mihir. We wrapped up with some beer and Maggi from the small kitchen on the island. Would highly recommend this activity with kids of any age group with parents. Of course, excellent activity for all age groups.

Summary: Very peaceful and scenic kayaking route on the Chapora River. Mihir did an excellent job of teaching the basics of kayaking and offered great insights about the wildlife and Goa in general.
