Kayaking is an interesting way to explore a river, it involves extreme skills to maneuver it, but once you get hold of it, it becomes extremely fun.

You can experience the beautiful countryside village paddling through the backwaters and lakes of Kerala. Immerse in the calmness of the place amongst stunning nature and wildlife of God's own Country.
Surfing is a trying task for newbies, but once you get a hang of it it is one of those sports that you keep wanting to do over and over again until you ride that perfect wave. Even when you want to ride a more significant wave and then a bigger one. Yes, that's how addicting surfing is. Surfing in the clear and pristine waters of the Papanasam beach in Varkala is a delightful experience. There are many schools that teach surfing so even if it's your first time you can have an enjoyable experience.
Feel surfing is not your cup of tea but still, you want to try something equally fun? Look no further, we have the right activity for you - Paddle Boarding. Paddleboarding is a water sport in which participants are propelled by a swimming motion using their arms while lying or kneeling on a paddleboard or surfboard in the ocean. It is a much easier task than surfing but doesn't remove the fun of floating in the beautiful waters of the Arabian sea.
You can ride a small jet-propelled vehicle that skims across the surface of the water and typically is ridden like a motorcycle. Ride a jet ski on the turquoise blue waters accompanied by red cliffs on your side like there is no tomorrow. This is an experience that one can find in Varkala and is highly recommended by anyone who has taken part in this activity.
A fun group activity where you take part as a group and you ride a banana-shaped boat (the name gives it away right?). It is a recommended activity to do as a group as it is extremely enjoyable and fun for all. Your group will be given a life jacket and an experienced guide will be rowing the boat through the sea. All you need to do is sit back and let the cool waters of Varkala splash your face.
