Since we live in the south of Goa, my friends and I plan an overnight trip to the north every year. This year we decided to do some water sports and since it was the monsoons, river rafting Goawas suggested to us by Atlantis Watersports. Seeing the rivers that we grew up near through a raft in the middle of it gave us a new found appreciation of the beauty of Goan waterways. Thanks Atlantis! Jacqueline -Goa
I’m totally awestruck after having met the Atlantis team. They are a group of young and fun individuals and capable of blowing your mind with their organisation techniques and professionalism. It was a wonderful experience to try the river rafting activity with them. They made it a super interesting experience. –Navaneet Chaudhary
Thank you for making our 5th trip the Goa the most memorable Atlantis Watersports Goa! You lads are amazing. What professionalism and friendly banter, couldn’t have wished any better company. My better half and I booked the Overnight house-boat and River Rafting trip and loved both to bits. Lots of love from the both of us <3 Ismail -Ireland
YOLO – My moto for the past 5 years. Been an adrenaline junkie all my life and have engaged in rock-climbing, bungee jumping and rafting for 5 years now. After Latin America, Australia and Africa, my next destination had to be India. Did some rock-climbing in Humpi and then came to Goa for a short visit and met up with Atlantis Water sports through a mutual friend. River Rafting Goa book in Goa’s backwaters was very relaxing and a lot of fun. Thank you Charlie, let’s do some bungee jumping in New Zealand next year, what say? Luis -London
I still feel overwhelmed to write my experience. It’s been quite a few days since we finished our Goa trip and the river rafting during monsoon was one of a kind experience. I loved the way it was organised. All staff members were totally in-sync with making this happen and at the same time making it a comfortable experience for us. All thanks to Atlantis water Sports in Calangute.–Bhoomika Modi
First vacation with school friends after boards. Full fun we had. None of our school friends had ever done Goa tourism river rafting in Goa which made this more fun. Atlantis Watersports took good care of us with food and everything. We saw caves and waterfalls on our ride on the Tilari River. Thank you Atlantis Watersports, we will never forget you guys or this holiday! Hydar -hyderabad
Mind-blowing event in my life. It was great to try the monsoon river rafting with Atlantis watersports. They made sure we had a great time. One of them called us during intervals just to make sure we were doing well which really meant a lot to me personally. It was wonderfully executed and was worth what I paid for. – Harshitha Chauhan
