Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay by a day to explore the quieter South Goa beaches like Palolem and the historic village of Chandor. For a shorter trip, focus on North Goa highlights—beaches, Fort Aguada, and Old Goa—by skipping the dolphin tour and the longer spice plantation visit.
