About this collection
You do not need to be an expert swimmer to get out on the water. We make safety the priority, so life jackets are mandatory for every kayaking session and coracle ride. Our instructors guide you through the basics before you push off, so you can focus on the view rather than your technique.
Our water experiences change depending on which of our locations you visit.
Kayaking
In Kanakapura and Nandi Hills, you will find calm, winding waters perfect for a morning paddle. We use sit-on-top kayaks that are stable and easy to handle, even for first-timers. It is a fantastic way to spot local birdlife or just glide through the emerald forest cover.
Traditional Coracle Rides
When you visit our Kabini property, we trade the paddles for the gentle spin of a coracle. These traditional bowl-shaped boats offer a slow, rhythmic way to explore the river. It is less of a workout and more of a relaxing nature watch.
Water Zorbing
For pure fun, head to the pool. We set up giant inflatable zorbing balls where you can scramble, roll, and tumble on the water's surface. It is a messy, laugh-out-loud activity that is popular with both kids and adults looking to let loose.
Safety and Logistics
Water activities are dependent on weather and water levels, particularly during the monsoon. We provide all necessary safety gear, including helmets and life vests, and every session is monitored by our on-site team. Whether you are planning a family trip or a team outing, our water-based activities are designed to be inclusive and accessible.
Discovery Village Resorts
We are Discovery Village, and we believe life is better outdoors. We have set up our resorts to help you disconnect from the city noise and reconnect with nature, whether that means a peaceful river drift or a messy, hilarious afternoon of zorbing.
