Testimonial – River Rafting 26
If you love water this is the perfect getaway and you meet strangers whom you can bond in a journey of fun and adventure. The raft was quite strong and the guide was very skilled. Bunch of amateurs with a pro.The Atlantis Water sports staff gave us river rafting pictures for free. Better to get on the water than a BOOM PARTY.
For the first time river rafting in India. Huge thanks to the Atlantis watersportsteam for this fun filled package. We were all screaming on the jumps and the turnings. It was a great place. The guide was fantastic and full of fun; the trip was like a roller coaster ride without rollers. Some of us were frightened but once you are on the raft we get into the spirit and it’s all fun.
This is without doubt the finest River Rafting course in India. I have done this activity in other places as well but this was the best onetill date – the attention to safety, the local involvement, the greenery, the weather and sheer exhilaration are all unparalleled. This was only possible with the help of Atlantis Water Sports in Goa, big thanks to you all for everything.
Definitely go for river rafting from Atlantis Watersports Calangute, we were five and we went on a little drizzling day. The location was beautiful. Quite intense the trip is but very energetic and the mahadei river is mid blowing. Make sure you report at the right time to make the most of it.The River route is very nice especially the turns and twist. It’san energy booster.
GOOD TEAM EVENT We had all our river rafting Goa book through Atlantis watersports. Rafting was one of the best activity for our team. It was like closing a deal we went on waters and it turned out as a race between the raft. The guide was really helpful and professional. The place is really beautiful. Good team event. The Staff at Atlantis Watersports were very helpful.
Great fun… one of the best places in monsoon to enjoy the back waters with a lovely view of nature in Goa. Thanks to the entire team of Atlantis Water Sports and of course Charlie the Showrunner who is a man with a big heart. Thanks a ton once again for making our day full of excitement fun and joy. You Guys simply rock. Thumbs Up.
ARFAT Best day ever Oh my god Goa tourism river raftingwas like blood pumped into brain and all over body. Our guide was extremely cool. The rocks around the lake looked scary but we had the time of our life. We had proper safety gears to keep us away from danger. The staff at Atlantis watersports were very friendly. It’squite a long route and quite a hectic journey, But the fun will keep you in high energy.
It was this activity River Rafting in Goa that made me realize that Goa is not all about just beaches and booze! There is so much more to be experienced and done. The activity of rafting was very exciting and well organized and definitely much needed. I came back refreshed and energized!
It was one of the craziest activity experience I ever had. I was thrilled at times whenever during rafting our boat jumped from heights of the waves. It was something different and awesome at the same time for me as this was my first time rafting ever. Overall great experience and the credit entirely goes to Atlantis Watersports Goa for making that happen. Ella
