Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 10km route features grade II to III+ rapids, suitable for beginners. The initiation of white-water rafting is expected to boost monsoon tourist arrivals, officials said. Officials stated that two trips would be conducted each day. The rafting activity is organised through a partnership between Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) and Southern River Adventures and Sports Pvt Ltd. 'Every trip is conducted under the supervision of certified guides, with thorough safety briefings and complete gear, including life jackets, helmets, and paddles being checked by certified authorities,' a tourism department official said. The adventure sport is expected to attract nature and water sports enthusiasts to Goa's hinterlands, aligning with efforts to encourage tourists to explore Goa's forested valleys, rolling hills, and rain-soaked wilderness, officials added. 'With the expertise of John Pollard, who brings over 30 years of global rafting experience, we are proud to offer a safe experience to both national and international tourists. This initiative reflects our commitment to promoting eco-friendly exploration and establishing Goa as a diverse, year-round destination,' said tourism director Kedar Naik. The inflatable rafts accommodate eight to ten participants, and the full journey lasts approximately 90 minutes. White-water rafting typically occurs in Goa from June to October; however, this year the rafting season began a fortnight later. A tourism department official indicated that the water sport would operate under strict environmental protocols as part of Goa Tourism's flagship initiative 'Goa Beyond Beaches'. GTDC has also commenced organising monsoon treks, with a trek along the Charavane trail in Sattari scheduled for this Sunday. GTDC has arranged transport from various parts of Goa to ensure accessibility.
