Our ambassador Mr. Rajat was a wonderful host. He explained us everything about the temple, church, history of the island. We finally got to know how is fenny made, we tasted it too. We had a Goan snack after a small trek. The most beautiful part was the boat ride through the mangrove, around the Island where we saw the birds in an undisturbed environment . Mr. Rajat made sure we saw the sunset. The ferry ride to and from the island was wonderful too. It surely is an unexplored area , not crowded at all. We would love to visit again. Next is the divar island trail on our next trip

Immersive and insightful outlook at the cultural and historical perspective of Goa through the local community. Amazing trail to the feni distillery and lovely experience at the local tavern. Scrumptious local food and warm hospitality. The boat ride into the mangroves and on the Mandavi River at sunset is superb!

We were met by Royston at the ferry terminal. The day started with a ferry ride and then a boat ride through the mangrove swamp/ lake followed by tour to a temple ruins breakfast at a yoga centre and information about the distillery process of the local Urrak and Feni. Royston was very knowledgeable about the whole area and provided a very immersive experience. It was great to see and interact with the locals. Communication before, during, and after the trip was excellent. Would recommend this tour to my friends.

Starting with a few delays and hick-ups, the trail started with an amazing mangroves and river boat cruise. Next was the Devki-Krishna Temple. The home-cooked snacks was smacking. The urak and feni testing was one of a kind experience.
