Tips

To extend the trip, add a day for a dolphin‑watching cruise from Vagator or a day trip to the tranquil Divar Island. To shorten it, combine Day 3 and Day 4 by skipping the surf lesson and spending that time exploring nearby villages, allowing a quicker 3‑day beach‑cultural combo for a short weekend getaway.
