Start your adventure in Goa with a visit to the Calangute Beach! Known as the "Queen of Beaches," this expansive beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The beach is also lined with shacks that serve delicious Goan cuisine and drinks, perfect for a quick snack or meal. Don't forget the sunscreen!
Take a boat ride from Dona Paula to Grande Island for an exciting day of snorkelling, scuba diving, and dolphin spotting. The island is surrounded by crystal-clear waters and is home to a diverse marine life. Experienced divers can explore shipwrecks and underwater caves too!
End your adventure with a visit to the Dudhsagar Waterfalls - a stunning natural wonder located in the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary. You can trek to the waterfalls or take a guided jeep safari through the forest to reach the falls. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes and a camera to capture the magnificent landscapes along the way!
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the historic Fort Aguada or the scenic Chapora Fort to your itinerary. If you have less time, you can skip Grande Island and opt for a half-day tour of the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary instead. Before heading out, check the timings and availability of the activities and attractions, especially during monsoons as some places are closed for safety reasons.
