Itinerary
Arrival & Agonda Beach Relaxation
Arrival & Transfer: Arrive at Goa (Dabolim Airport / Madgaon Railway Station) and transfer to Agonda, a tranquil South Goa beach village renowned for its relaxed atmosphere. Check in to your family-friendly beachside accommodation.
Afternoon: Unwind on Agonda Beach — swim in calm waters, let kids build sandcastles, or relax under coconut palms. Enjoy a gentle walk along the shoreline to watch the sunset.
Evening: Dinner at a local beachfront restaurant featuring fresh seafood and Goan vegetarian options.
Important: Check-in times and transfer durations vary depending on arrival. Taxi or private transfer typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours from major arrival points.
Agonda Village & Turtle Conservation Awareness
Morning: Begin with a relaxed breakfast, then join a short community-led walk to learn about local turtle-nesting activity (seasonal). Engage with conservation volunteers for a family-friendly awareness session.
Afternoon: Free time for yoga by the beach or optional activities such as paddleboarding or a guided coastal nature walk. Explore the Agonda village market for handcrafted souvenirs and snacks.
Evening: Sunset stroll and a beachside dinner focusing on local flavors—try traditional Goan fish curry or vegetarian Xacuti.
Note: Turtle nesting visits are seasonal (typically Nov–Mar). If not available, a guided coastal ecology walk will be organized.
Butterfly Conservatory & Cotigao Wildlife Walk
Morning Transfer: Short drive to the Butterfly Conservatory (Canacona/Cotigao region). Enjoy a guided walk through the conservatory and adjoining trails to spot colorful butterflies, native flora, and small wildlife.
Guided Experience: The naturalist-led tour explains butterfly lifecycles, local plant species, and conservation efforts — a hit with kids and nature-curious adults.
Afternoon: Visit nearby Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary for a gentle hike to watch birds and possibly spot larger fauna from designated viewpoints. Picnic lunch arranged in a shaded spot.
Evening: Return to Canacona/Agonda-area accommodation. Relaxed dinner and an optional short beach visit.
Tip: Wear light long-sleeved clothing for trail walks and bring insect repellent and comfortable walking shoes.
Cabo de Rama, Palolem & Dolphin Spotting
Morning: Drive to scenic Cabo de Rama Fort for panoramic sea views and photo opportunities at this historic, less-crowded fortress. Explore quiet pathways and viewpoints.
Late Morning to Afternoon: Head to Palolem for a family-friendly dolphin-spotting boat trip (weather dependent). Return for a relaxed lunch at Palolem or Patnem with seaside shacks serving local cuisine.
Evening: Leisure time back in Agonda or nearby; consider a sunset beach walk and optional informal live music at a local café.
Important: Dolphin trips are seasonal and depend on sea conditions; morning departures increase spotting chances.
Spice Plantation & Goan Local Cuisine Class
Morning Transfer to Central Goa: Check out and drive north toward central Goa with a stop at a traditional spice plantation. Enjoy a guided tour explaining spices, aromatic plants, and their culinary uses. Light tasting of coconut-based snacks and local spices.
Afternoon: Arrive in Panaji / Old Goa and check into your hotel. Participate in an interactive Goan local cuisine cooking class—learn to prepare a classic Goan curry, fish or vegetarian options, and accompaniments like poee or sannas.
Evening: Dine on the meals you helped prepare or enjoy a riverside dinner at Panaji’s Mandovi riverfront.
Tip: The cooking class is family-friendly; children can join age-appropriate tasks.
