Generally, the cruise takes the passengers to a certain point in a river or the sea, from where kayaking excursion, or sailing adventures, is launched. Then, the passengers attended and guided by the crew, return to the main vessel and enjoy a cruise back. Each trip is customized according to the wishes as well as the physical and technical skills of the passengers. We address the need of beginners with approachable programs. Besides, our long practice of expeditions and adventure activities is suitable for the more demanding sessions with well-trained passengers. All together it participates to make Konkan Explorers unique in India.
