Would recommend! - Would really recommend this experience. Karan had such great local knowledge we learned so much! Started off earlier and we had to hire our own driver to come for the entire trip but this was easily done and the company help you find someone if you’re really stuck. We paid around 2500 for the whole day which was very reasonable as it’s from 7am til midday. Saw some amazing birds and a lovely sunrise from the boat. Visited a temple, explored some more history and had lunch at a yoga retreat with an amazing view. End with making our own cocktail from the local spirit Fenny. Overall an amazing experience. You really get your moneys worth. Thanks so much again!

Short, Sweet Stop at Chorao! - Starting the day with early morning boat ride through Mandavi river to ending the tour with refreshing self-made local feni cocktails, Harshali made sure that the whole group is together all the time and experiencing every bit of Goan heritage-culture, architecture and natural beauty with our hearts. Great experience! Must go for it when in Goa!

Chorao Island Tour - Harshali gave us a beautifully guided tour of Chorao Island. She gave us a brief history of the background of the origin of various historical and religious monuments.
