Goa Trips & Tours

Indulge in some oh-so-easy living and laid-back Goan vibes in the original boho beach destination.
Think Goa, think tantalisingly tropical beaches and coconut-scented curries. Or maybe your mind conjures thoughts of sun-splattered days followed by long, hedonistic nights? Or perhaps Portuguese forts, crumbling churches and a good dollop of history? Well, all would be correct, for Goa is a place of many faces. Each beach in the string of golden-sand crescents that run the length of the Arabian coastline has its own personality (backpacker, groomed, laidback, fabulous - they’re all there for the taking) as do the buzzy new hotels. If you’d like to top up your zen, you’ll find more yoga classes than you can shake your chakras at, and the sizzling food shacks and sultry flavours are a foodie’s heaven. And if that still doesn’t sound like your cup of chai, venture inwards to a land of colourful temples, paddy fields and culture. Our verdict? The perfect spot to end a couple of weeks of temple-hopping.
Things to do

What to do in Goa

Beyond the beach shacks and barefoot bars, this coastal paradise harbors Portuguese heritage in its cobbled soul. Wander through Fontainhas, where ochre-washed mansions pop against tropical foliage, or discover ancient spice plantations humming with wildlife. Mornings might find you spotting dolphins off Sinquerim's shore, afternoons exploring the UNESCO-listed churches of Old Goa, and evenings savoring prawn curry in a centuries-old Portuguese home. From the thundering cascades of Dudhsagar Falls to secret coves like Butterfly Beach, Goa's true magic lies in its ability to surprise - even the most seasoned traveler.

Why you'll love it

Why you'll love it

Back in the day, Goa was a place to escape to; a playground for bohemians and surfer-dudes to rave and catch waves and not much else. Today, it’s grown up a bit, but is as dreamy and beach-fabulous as ever.
Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Agonda Beach, a peaceful stretch of creamy sand between Cola and Palolem. The whole thing is pretty quiet, but the northern end, and the protected turtle-nesting site, is the highlight.
Something to think about

Something to think about

North Goa is not the super-chilled haven it once was and the prominence of fast food chains and tranced-out ravers is a little disappointing. But that just makes us more determined to find the good bits – and there are plenty left.
