Fun Filled Evening Cruises

Every evening - 6:15pm, 7:30pm and 8:45pm

A pleasant way to spend a thoroughly enjoyable evening in Goa is to take the ‘EXCITING EVENING ONE HOUR CRUISE” from the Tourism Jetty, below the Mandovi Bridge, Panaji Goa. A tastefully decorated cruiser named the “PARADISE”, Goa' only triple deck cruiser, takes you for a lovely ride down the river Mandovi past Adil Shah’s Summer Palace towards the Arabian Sea at Reis Magos Fort from where you get a panoramic view of the Grand Fort Aguada, majestic CABO – the Governors Palace, the sprawling Miramar Beach and the glorious sun setting over the vast Indian Ocean for the sunset cruise.

The atmosphere on the river boat is festive.  You are welcomed on board by the friendly compere who from time to time fills you in with details of well known landmarks on the shore while advising you to let your hair down, have a drink and get yourselves into a mood for the program ahead that is “Fun for Everyone” -fun for the young and fun for the young at heart.

The live band  now takes over starting with the welcome song.  This is followed by  the welcome dance – the dekni – the immortal saga of a girl’s endearments and the romantic boatman’s reluctance, which is so captivating.  This dance is followed by a medley of songs in Hindi and  English which has everybody clapping, singing and the more enthusiastic even dance on the small dance floor in front of the band.  Soon it is time for the second dance – the harvest dance or kunbi dance which depicts the process of farming – sowing, growing, the bountiful harvest and the celebrations of the same.  Colorfully dressed farmers in their traditional kunbi clothes – dance their graceful way into your hearts.

The Delightful Dolphin Cruise

9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Goa is famous for its indo-pacific humpback dolphins. We have a half day cruise in which we cruise out to the Arabian sea to show you these magnificent creatures. Dolphin season is usually from October to March and as we enter the Arabian sea you can normally see schools of dolphins feeding on sardines or playfully frolicking in the early morning sun. Our cruise boat is fully equipped with deck beds for sunbathing and a well stocked bar. Our charges for this cruise are Rs. 400/- per person.
