In the morning, get ready to dive into the clear waters of Grande Island. The island is home to some of the best and most diverse marine life in India. After a quick training session and safety briefing, you will be taken to up to 12 meters deep into the Arabian Sea. Observe colorful fish, beautiful coral reefs, and maybe even spot a sea turtle or two! Lunch will be served on the boat. Afternoon, relax and soak up the sun on the deck. In the evening, head back to your hotel for a good night's rest.
In the morning, depart for a trek to the majestic Dudhsagar Waterfalls. The trek is around 10 km and will take you through lush forests and streams. Take a dip in the refreshing natural pool at the bottom of the falls. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the shade of the forest. In the afternoon, visit the Tambdi Surla Temple, a 12th-century Shaivite temple. In the evening, head back to your hotel.
If you have extra time, try out kayaking, parasailing, or windsurfing in Calangute Beach. Alternatively, you could visit the spice plantations in Ponda to learn about the history and cultivation of spices. Don't forget to try out the local cuisine, especially the seafood and vindaloo. For a day trip, visit the charming Latin Quarter of Panaji or the historic Aguada Fort.
