One of the most fun things to do in the area of Hostel Nemo is the Sofa Ride of Havelock Island. This activity can suit you perfectly in case you would like to add some fun and thrill to your vacation on the island. Hostel Nemo is located on the Govind Nagar Beach and the Havelock Island has offered an excellent place where one will experience exciting surf water activities such as a sofa ride. Sofa ride is a specialty water sport in which the sportsmen ride on a cushioned inflatable sofa that is towed in the sea by a speedboat. The boat speeds up and the sofa slides over the blue water that has no waves, which can be recalled with spurts of enjoyment, humour, and invigorating splashes. It is basic, safe and ideal when one wants to experience adventure and comfort without swimming or diving. 

The sofa ride was a remarkable experience for the visitors of Hostel Nemo as a means of counterbalancing a serious day of diving or exploration of the islands with the glee of having fun in water. The sofa ride is something you cannot afford to miss in your Andaman itinerary whether you are solo, with friends or even on a backpacking trip because it gives you energy and happiness to your otherwise boring Andaman trip. Hostel Nemo in the Govind Nagar Beach will ensure that staying in this area is stress free so as to enjoy some of the best water activities in Andaman Islands. We know the ocean conditions, the time of the day when it is better to go through some activity and the safety standards better than anybody else because we have been in the business of the dive hostel for several years. We should have a better insight into the features of riding a sofa.
