Let’s have a look at each of them:
Jet Skiing
Jet skiing in Varkala gives you a quick hit of thrill and freedom. The mix of wind, spray of water, and motion kicks in instant energy. You get to see the cliffs and the beach from a whole new perspective – as you cut through the waters with sharp turns.
Just a short 10-minute ride is enough to get your heart racing and your mind to clear the clouds. With certified riders/instructors, it’s fast – yet safe, and unforgettable. This is one adventure that truly reminds you how good it feels to be floating on water.
Banana Boat Ride
The banana boat ride is pure group fun. You and your friends/others hop onto an inflatable banana-shaped raft, hold tight, and let the motorboat pull you across the waves. The goal isn’t to stay dry — but to laugh or shout and have fun, and maybe tip over once or twice.
The guides, of course, keep things safe and light-hearted, making sure everyone enjoys the thrill. It moves fast enough to excite, but is friendly enough for first-timers. Many guests end up doing it more than once because the sheer mix of laughter, splashes, and shared fun!
Speed Boating
Speed boating in Varkala is short, yet sharp, and full of adrenaline. You sit tight as the driver powers through the waves, turning the sea into a blur of blue and white. The ride lasts about ten to fifteen minutes, but the thrill stays longer.
You’ll feel the wind whip past and see the coastline flash by from a completely new frame. It’s perfect if you enjoy fast-paced adventure without fuss. The safety crew handles everything, so you can just hold on, enjoy the speed, and take in the wild beauty of the Arabian Sea.
Parasailing
Parasailing gives you the best bird’s-eye view of Varkala – from above the Arabian sea. After strapping into a secure harness, the boat picks up speed and lifts you gently into the air. Within seconds, you’re soaring high, watching the cliffs, beach, and waves that stretch out below.
The ride is calm yet thrilling, as you feel weightless, safe, and completely free. The instructors manage every detail, letting you focus on the experience. For many guests, that quiet moment in the sky – with the wind in their face and the sea below, becomes the highlight of their trip. This can be absolute fun with your close friend or your special someone.
Kayaking in Mangrove Village
Kayaking in Varkala’s backwaters offer a slower, quieter side of coastal life. You paddle through narrow canals framed by coconut palms and fishing villages, where time seems to move at half its usual speed. Birds skim the water, locals wave from the banks, and the only sound is the dip of your paddle.
The calm waters make it beginner-friendly, so you can focus on soaking in the scenery instead of technique. It’s a simple yet grounding experience – one that lets you see Kerala beyond the beach, at your own unhurried pace.
Scuba Diving
Scuba diving in Varkala lets you see the waters of the Arabian sea from a completely different perspective. After a short training and safety session, you descend with certified instructors into clear blue water. The world below feels calm and alive – where schools of fish move past, and patches of coral light up under the sun’s rays.
You don’t need prior experience, as the team handles everything from equipment to depth control. The dive usually lasts for about 20 to 30 minutes, giving you time to take it all in. It’s one of those experiences that stays with you — quiet, vivid, and unlike anything on land. This one is truly special!
