This is an exciting activity in beautiful, isolated surroundings, run by a well trained & organised group. There are different grades for different levels of experience. Reasonable fitness is necessary, and confidence in water.
We followed the course of a young river down the rocks, sometimes wading, sometimes half swimming, sometimes abseiling, and sometimes jumping into the pools - maybe 3, 6 or more metre jumps (if you dipped out of a jump, there is assistance to help you down). Wetsuits, harnesses for abseiling, & hardhats provided.
Was a memorable day, with a small group of 7, and 3 leaders (I think 1 of these was training).
2. Cola Beach

Reviewed By CB1408 - London
I had heard about Cola beach over breakfast in my hotel. I decided to investigate it was a 500 r trip from Patnem in the tuk tuk for about 25 mins. The road to the beach is really rocky but sort of fun. Maybe not if you have terrible lower back pain. The tuk tuk drivers call it 'Massage Road'.
The beach itself is stunning and incredibly clean and easily mistaken for the Caribbean.
There is the issue of the 'private beach' thing mentioned in other reviews- for drinks and sunbeds- so if you are willing to use your towel and not eat a lunch here the atmosphere is worth giving up so called tourist comforts!
The sea is quite tricky to navigate so only swim between the flags. There is the fresh water lake as an option for swimming or kayaking too.
I don't know if its called Cola Beach because an aerial view shows dark and light sand like a coke in a glass or because its the local name. You decide

6. Palolem Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
One of the area's most picturesque Beaches.
Reviewed By SaidahJules - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
If you are staying in South Goa and near Palolem beach then it’s worth visiting. There are many restaurants on the beach, It’s very lively in comparison to other Beaches. Lots of indian and foreign tourists.
If you want something more peaceful then go to Patnem (next one. Walking distance). But Palolem is nice to visit, go for a walk there or to have dinner on the beach during sunset.
7. Galgibaga Beach

Reviewed By skinnygirldiariez - Bengaluru, India
The Beaches in Goa are really crowded and not worth the effort to spend a lazy afternoon. The Turtle Beach also known as Galgibaga Beach is one of those exquisite gems that is now getting noticed.
This was my second visit from last year. Santosh Beach Shack is the best one to dine in. The sea food especially Crabs are a must have. If you can do let them know you are arriving and how many people are there. The crabs get over in a giffy.
The beach is quaint and clean. The waves are just perfect if you want to just float around and enjoy the peace and quiet.
As its a nature conservation site, the beach is pretty restricted. The highlight are the turtles lay their eggs on the shore, which are clearly marked.
The highway is being constructed and I do hope it won't destroy the habitat for these gorgeous creatures that thrive.

Traditional Indian dishes include a wide range of tastes and offers more healthy food. In addition, traditional Indian cuisine is called for fresh food items with minimum preservatives, compared to typical American fare, it can be very healthy because your body comes in contact with less additive for ingredients.
