Kayaking on the Aghanashini River
River Kayaking – Gokarna(Kumta) takes you onto the Aghanashini River estuary, one of the calmest and least developed backwaters on the Karnataka coast. You paddle through sheltered water lined with coconut plantations and mangroves, with the option to book an early-morning or sunset session for the softest light.
It's a relaxed, beginner-friendly outing — no prior kayaking experience is needed. A guide accompanies the session, gives basic instructions before you set off, and stays with the group on the water.
