  1. Banana Boat Rides

    Not for the faint hearted, this involves donning a life jacket and straddling an inflated rubber contraption, shaped like a banana. Pulled over the waves, bouncing up and down at terrific velocity, suddenly with a wicked twist you are thrown off, to flounder in the sea and then clamber back with euphoria. Head to Goa, Mumbai, Gokarna in Karnataka to experience the thrill.

  1. Snorkeling

    Best done in the blue waters of Lakshadweep or Andamans. Being more of a leisure activity, it will awaken every fiber of your being, to watch the abundant marine life in diverse hues, shapes and sizes. The coral reefs are a sight to behold as you put on a mask and snorkel tube, a few basic instructions and you are transported into a magical world.

    Patience is a virtue they say, only if you have loads of it, should you venture into angling, where is the adventure you say… The moment you snag a whopper on your fishing line, you are in for the ride of your life as the battle of endurance ensues, its man v/s fish.
