Goa Off The Beaten Path Tips by BluBluBlu Top 5 Page for this destination

A fun day out... OTHERS Review

For something different...hire a taxi...and drive inland away from Goa's coast...and find a small town or village...find yourself somewhere to have a coffee or beer...and take lots of pens/sweets/curio's of any type...and you'll be amazed at the kind of day you'll have. The locals will chat to you...the kids will mob you...it'll be fun...so try it!

NB: Dont go to coastal villages...but head east past Mapusa....

Try out the ferries... OTHERS Review

At one time there were no main bridges in Goa and you used to have to catch a local ferry. As Goa is rapidly improving its infrastructure more bridges are built...and the ferries are rapidly dissapearing. Why not get a taxi to drop you off on the Panjim to Ponda road...and catch a ferry across...its a fun experience...and you can get your taxi driver to pick you up on the other side! Or get the local bus from Calangute to Panjim but get off at Betim. The ferry is free if you are on foot and drops you off in central Panjim.
