Find HotelsIf you’d like to extend the trip, add a day to explore South Goa’s pristine beaches such as Palolem and Cabo de Rama, or take a day trip to the breathtaking Dudhsagar Waterfalls. To shorten the itinerary, skip the optional sunset cruise and limit water‑sport activities to one session; this will still give you a solid taste of Goa while keeping the budget tighter.
