Hello Leisure lovers!
Waiting for that Goa trip for long? Itβs time to tick it off.
Sun, Sea, Sand, Pubs, an Island trip, water sports, flea markets, a beautiful Church, picturesque architecture, and a little bit of history – all waiting for you at Goa!
In this 3 day trip to Goa, we will cover all important and happening places of North Goa. To name a few – Baga, Anjuna, Candolim, and Calangute beaches. We will indulge in water sports, and go on a boat trip to Monkey Island. Swimming and Snorkeling are the two activities travelers enjoy most on this Island trip along with unlimited drinks and food. As you already know, sunsets are a bliss from Goa beaches.
We will have a comfortable hotel stay close to a beach with all basic facilities like hot water, breakfast, and cozy beds.
Adding to the experience is pub-hopping at the most colorful Titoβs lane. A leisurely stroll at historical places like Bascilla of Bom Jesus and Panjim Conservation zone is the icing on the cake to end the trip on a memorable note.

The Island trip is usually open in the months of November to May. But it is not 100% guaranteed to happen. Sometimes it can be closed based on Indian Navyβs command who control the Sea routes over there or high tide (usually due to full moon / no moon days). In the event of Monkey Island trip cancellation, we will refund 1000 rupees to travelers. Instead, your Trip Leads will take you to alternate places on that day.

- Cooperate with the organizer(s) in following the schedule set for the day (especially getting up and getting ready in the morning). This will ensure travelers won’t miss out on the real fun part that is traveling.
