It is not recommended to venture outdoor alone in a kayak at any point in time from a safety standpoint.
The sit on top kayaks, canoes and paddle boards are meant for recreational purposes and can be used by anyone with basic fitness levels needed for activities such as riding a bicycle, running etc.
We adhere to all the warnings issued by the coast guard and port officer and we do not recommend activities during bad weather. In case if the weather turns up bad during the activities, our life guards will help you come to the shore. Our lifeguards are fully trained and certified and very well aware of the local weather conditions and understand the moods of the river.
Except for the heavy monsoon season in June, we are open round the year, so you can drop-in anytime. The best time to try paddling activities are from 7 AM to 10 AM, and in the evening from 3 PM to 6 PM. During the day, one can try the climbing walls, fishing or other outdoor activities at the camp or just chill out at the club house.
It is highly recommended to bring your own reusable water bottles (no disposable mineral water bottles please, to reduce plastic waste and help protect our rivers), UV protected quick dry clothing, waterproof hats, change of clothes, towels, sun control lotion and a pair of waterproof shoes (no flip-flops / sandals which could prove slippery).

The recreational sit-on top kayaks provided at Jellyfish are meant for first-time users and our team will provide paddling basics and training for beginners. For beginners, we use a narrow and shallow area in the river and it is very safe to start learning at the designated areas
You can still enjoy kayaking even if you can’t swim. It is relatively safer to learn kayaking for non-swimmers in the calm river than in a sea or a whitewater river. It is very important to follow all the safety instructions and wear a life vest and make sure to have lifeguards on duty. Non-swimmers should inform the lifeguards prior to starting the activities so that they can take extra precautions and safety measures.
The wet suits are needed for protection from cold water temperature. Throughout the year, the temperature at the river near the Jellyfish camp is very warm and one can manage without a wet suit. We recommend using UV protection and quick dry clothing material.
