Unique experience in Goa - We had the best time visiting Diwar island with our story teller Rutwik. Such an unexplored place with rich history and culture about Goa that you wouldn’t otherwise know about. The trail planned by Make it happen was so unique, with unique additions and the tour was not rushed which was the best part. We really got a chance to immerse ourselves in the stories of the place and experience the place that it made the whole trip that much more rewarding. A must visit if you like doing off best things, like history and learning about different cultures.

Great Experience - We took Divar Island trail trip on 1st Oct and this was definitely one of the best experiences we had on our Goa trip. Hritvik is an amazing guide with extremely good knowledge and friendly nature. We had lunch in a local household and our host was extremely courteous and food was delicious. We also had a brief music session which was a good addition to the trip by MIT. Thanks Hritvik for making it a perfect trip.

Highly recommended - It was a well curated experience filled with stories, histories, great people, scenic routes and great food. We got a glimpse of this laidback island through Rutvik, who was engaging and knowledgeable. He got the pulse of the group and the stories were enthralling.

Less traversed Goa. The Divar Island. - The day trip at Divar Island, Goa, with Make It Happen (guide: Rutvik), was nothing short of an enticing experience. We were looking to explore not so popular Goa, but we wouldn't have known that Goa is such rich in history. Make It Happen actually made our wish come true. Rutvik explained each thing about this beautiful island in great details. To top it up, the sumptuous local goan lunch that we had just made our day. In short, we're again coming back to Divar. Next time maybe, we'll plan a stay as well 🙂 Viva Goa!

Extraordinary. - Accidentally I came to about make it happen. On this tour Mr Ruthvik was our story teller. He is such a nice gentleman, though we reached very late, he was polite enough to accommodate us & cover the maximum spots. His knowledge of the tour is exceptional. The food provided was extraordinary & very tasty & very authentic Goan dish. Even the spread of the lunch was good. He had singer for lunch. That was a suprise & good too. Overall, Mr Ruthvik made this tour really memorable & interesting. Im looking for to have many more tours with make it happen & with a same story teller if possible. Thank you very Ruthvik for making this tour really worth & memorable. Good job... All the best to you.

Unforgettable and Fun experience - Our tour of Divar Island was truly engaging, thanks to storyteller Pawan. He guided us to hidden gems and shared so much about the island’s rich culture and history. He made the whole experience conversational and engaging! The visit to the resort and, of course, the small Feni outlet was the highlight of the trip. Thank you, Pawan, for an unforgettable and fun experience!!

Amazing tour experience - Amazing tour by pavan. He walked us through stories of all the historical places in a detailed and entertaining manner. Lunch was amazing and extremely homely at a local host's home. Definitely worth it if you are pondering to give it a try.

A fun excursion to Divar's cultural and mythical past - Our storyteller, Rutvik, had a smile throughout the tour while he explained the rich history of the place. Though I had been to Divar a couple of times before and had liked the place, I now appreciate it a lot more because of its rich and vast history. My mom and I had a lot of fun ☺️

Great experience - The Divar’s island tour was very insightful and informative, not to mention- fun ofc! Pavan is a wonderful storyteller and a happy-go-lucky personality. Though, some friendly interactions with the locals living at the island would have been appreciated. A really cool idea would be to allowing the locals to tell their stories.
