Recommendations

Don't forget to go on a river cruise on the Mandovi River at night while enjoying Goan music and dance performances. Visit the Naval Aviation Museum and the Museum of Goa for a cultural experience. Take a day trip to the Grand Island for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling and Dolphin sighting. And don't forget to try out the local seafood, Goan sausages, and Feni, a local alcoholic drink made from cashews.

Maximize your fun by renting a scooty or a bike for transportation. The two-wheeler rentals in Goa are affordable and will help you explore more places. Avoid taking a taxi for every commute to save money.

If you're planning a longer trip, consider visiting South Goa for its secluded beaches and Portuguese architecture. You can also visit the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary for a nature walk and bird watching.
