The best of Goan culture and heritage - If you truly want to enjoy the goan tradition and know more about Goa. Go for it. It's worth . We friends enjoyed the boat ride, the nature, mangroves, birds and of course the breakfast and herbal jaggery tea

Great off-the-beaten path place to visit in Goa! - We had a great time! The boat ride was a highlight, but I also really liked learning about some of the river-fueled agricultural practices.

Captures the less explored side of Goa - Chorao island is beautiful and lush green. The boat ride was serene and peaceful. Our guide was very enthusiastic and gave us the history of the devkikrishna temple and the local history of the island. We had a great time

Authentic Goan experience - If you want to meet Goa for what it is, and its rich culture and heritage, then nature trail with Chorao Island is an experience you shouldn't miss. The trail is very easy to do (you will need your own transport), and the Chorao Island is just really beautiful! The ambassador who assisted us, Harshali, was really knowledgeable, kind and experienced. I really liked the entire experience beginning with Mangrove and bird watching, to the very end, an exclusive feni tasting experience. Special highlight was an authentic Goan breakfast at the home of a very welcoming Chorao Island resident that was hygienic and cooked to perfection. Take a break from parties/sundowners and go for a comfortably paced offbeat experience you will not forget!

Excellent experience - Roy and Eben were the most amazing guides. They helped us get the best experiences possible. Healthy satvic food and beautiful lush green views were major two highlights which we don’t find in the party culture these days. Loved knowing the art and cultural heritage of Goa. The guides shared rich knowledge about mangroves, birds, Goan culture, temples, old Goa, Konkan & Portuguese languages, Panjim city, churches, Fenny tasting and even gave us customised recommendations for trying local bakeries. Also, they helped us ferry the two wheeler to the island which we were not confident to do on our own. I saw the ferry ride for the first time and felt awesome.
