₹700.00
Activity Overview
A sofa ride is a recreational water activity in which participants sit side by side on a wide inflatable sofa secured to a speedboat. As the speedboat moves through a designated activity zone, riders experience speed, waves, turns and splashes while holding the fitted safety grips.
Before departure, the activity team provides safety instructions and fits every participant with a life jacket. The speed and route are controlled by the operator according to the participants’ comfort, sea conditions and safety requirements.
The activity may be available at Elephant Beach or another authorised location around Havelock Island.
