Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day to explore the quieter beaches of South Goa like Agonda and take a sunrise yoga session on the sand. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine North and South beach visits by focusing on either Calangute/Anjuna or Palolem/Colva, and skip the optional dolphin‑watching cruise to save time and money.
