Parasailing in Goa: Best Beaches
Goa leaves you spoilt with alternatives as far as the selection of the best parasailing location is concerned. All the beaches have different things to offer, such as views and the atmosphere at the beach.
1. Calangute Beach
The beach is called the Queen and is considered one of the most popular parasailing spots in Goa. It is suitable for novices because of its long expanse of volcanic sandy shore and smooth waters. You will have many licensed operators who will provide you with safe and cheap rides.
It is a spacious beach. Here you can find professional trainers and a colourful environment.
This will go as far as costing 800 – 1200 INR per person in a short session
2. Baga Beach
There is another water sports hot spot that is called Baga Beach, just north of Calangute. Here, parasailing provides one with breathtaking scenes of the Baga coast, as well as the adjacent Anjuna cliffs. There are also combo packages to be made, such as parasailing and jet skiing, or a banana ride.
It is a beautiful beach with a large venue and bars to relax after the ride. Here, the cost is 1,000 -1,500 per person (depending on time).
3. Candolim Beach
Candolim Beach is the best place to be when one needs some tranquillity. It is not as crowded as Baga and Calangute, and gives one a more comfortable parasailing experience. The take-off is also good, and the wind is favourable for making glides.
This beach has a beautiful view, a picturesque location, and qualified guides. The basic cost is ₹1,000 – ₹1,300 per person.
4. Colva Beach
A peaceful stay at Colva Beach is sweet, with blue water on soft sand, when you are heading to South Goa. It could be suggested to couples or families that do not want to experience the parasailing adventure in a loud location.
You can see laser-flat water, a family-friendly place, and a romantic atmosphere. This will cost you ₹900 – ₹1,200 per person.
5. Mobor Beach
Mobor Beach is one of the secrets of South Goa to the people who want exclusivity. It provides a less commercialised setting with pristine beauty. The parasailing experience in this place is more intimate, and there are fewer people and enough room to glide long distances.
The place has excellent surroundings, quality operators, and clean scenery. The average cost is ₹1,200 – ₹1,800 per person.
6. Dona Paula
It is located near Panjim. The place gives parasailing access to the great Zuari River. It connects with the Arabian Sea. The best is when one is a photographer and is fond of dramatic scenery.
You will get to see panoramic scenery, proximity to the city, and love sunsets. This will cost around ₹800 – ₹1,200 per person.
Optimal Season for Parasailing in Goa
Although Goa is always beautiful all year long, the season of parasailing would be determined by the speed of the wind as well as the sea currents.
Best season: October to May
The post-monsoon season has clear skies, smooth water, and constant and ideal wind for safe parasailing.
To avoid the months: June-September
The sea conditions are not safe, and you cannot do water activities due to intense precipitation.
The most appropriate times of the day are afternoons and mornings – the light is not bright, the heat is not too hot, and the light is excellent for taking photos.
Expectations during Parasailing
In Goa, parasailing is not very difficult, even for a beginner.
Preparation:
You will be entitled to safety harnesses and a life jacket. A briefing on hand signals and posture is given by the crew.
Take-Off:
You are hooked to a parachute on a motor boat. It feels like you are being lifted into the air by the parachute as the boat propels.
The Flight:
You will be floating on the sea within 510 minutes, depending on the package. Other operators even immerse your feet in the water to add a different excitement.
Landing:
Depending on the arrangement, you are slowly lowered to the boat or beach. It is smooth, safe, and exceedingly exciting- particularly when you have your eyes open to take in the view!
Conclusion
It is not merely a sport, but it is an amazing experience in Goa that you will never forget, even when you are on the ground. There is nothing like calmness and freedom when you are floating high above the sea and have nothing but wind and waves around.
