Intermediate

This trail starts from about 10km away from the end of the River sal which opens into the sea in Betul. Since it's in close proximity to the sea there is current in these waters which changes according to high tide or low tide making it slightly more challenging than the Sal Backwaters in Nuvem.

I never had done kayaking before but chaitan made me sit in the double kayak and made me feel safe and comfortable..... a truly wonderful experience.
Rajesh Kakodkar
This was a very refreshing evening with Aqua Trails Goa. I would highly recommend, I was new to kayaking and I’m terrified of water but Chaitan was an excellent host and was very supportive through out my experience. ❤️ Definitely a five star experience!!
Wynzell Rebello
A great experience if you're looking for something non commercial, intimate and peaceful. Chaitan take very small batches. The locations are serene and off beat. Definitely should be on your to do list in Goa.
