Chorao and Divar Island - half day shore excursion from Panaji
This tour is a great way to get away from the city and have a nice break into the nature.
Chorao is a small island reachable by ferry, well known for the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, where to see local fauna. By boat, it is possible to have a small tour and spot the birds.
We visit also Divar Island, see Sao Mathias church (built by the Portuguese over 400 years ago) and enjoy the view of very picturesque places.
In Old Goa, we go to visit the World heritage site with the beautiful Basilica Bom Jesus.
If you want to visit the Spice plantation, we can stop there for a guided tour which includes a local lunch.
Do not miss the opportunity to explore these island with a local expert. I will make sure you make the most of this day and bring with you great memories!
