What you can expect

Begin at Old Goa, meeting your guide and fellow travellers. Stroll past historic landmarks like the Viceroy’s Arch to the ferry jetty. Cross the Mandovi River by ferry and journey through scenic roads to Divar Island, spotting local birdlife along the way. Walk the enchanting shaded mangroves with a chance to catch a sighting of otters, crocodiles and estuarial birds.

Immerse yourself in Divar’s historical importance and heritage as you explore lush landscapes, vibrant village markets and iconic sites, including temples, churches, chapels, and a hilltop viewpoint with stunning panoramas.

Delve into ancestral history of a native island family through vintage artefacts in an old Indo-Portugese home made with mud, wood and roof tiles. Unwind on the veranda to hear birds singing, soaking in the island’s tranquility.

Return to Old Goa with cherished memories of Divar’s natural beauty, cultural heritage and history, with the charming river Mandovi flowing around it.
