How safe are the adventure activities and do I need to be swimmer?
Konkan Explorers has been operating for ten years improving permanently its procedures and process but it is not to be forgotten that we operate in wild environment and that proper attitude and approach are required. All our activities can be performed by both swimmers and non-swimmers alike. Life jackets are mandatory for both before the water activities start.
Do we all need to participate in the program of water activities?
Whenever you book a trip, the task of Konkan Explorers management is to create a program of exploration (including itinerary, size of the crew, etc…) for your entire group. For the quality of the experience it is supposed that each member of the group is motivated and in capacity to participate in the exploratory program.

Konkan Explorers is an adventure company where we are in contact with natural forces. Even if we are attending and guiding our passengers, we expect from them physical fitness and control. Knowing this a drink is possible in a responsible way. Anyhow, water activities can be restricted by the captain and team if one is deemed to be in danger for themself or others.
