Introduction to Diwar ferry terminal

Tucked away in the serene expanse of the Mandovi River, Divar Island's ferry terminals are the gateways to a hidden paradise that time seems to have forgotten. To reach this enchanting island, you must embark on a short but captivating ferry ride from one of its four terminals: Piedade in the south-east, connecting to Old Goa; Navelim/St. Pedro in the south-west, linking to Ribandar; Naroa in the north, bridging to Narve; and Amboi in the north-west, leading to the tiny isle of Vanxim. As you glide across the river, the hustle of Goa's mainland fades away, replaced by the gentle lapping of water against the shore and the lush greenery that envelops Divar Island. Here, ancient temples, 18th-century churches, and picturesque villages await, each whispering tales of a rich history and a culture that remains untouched by the passage of time. The ferry ride itself is a sensory delight, with the cool river breeze and the panoramic views of the island and the river creating an unforgettable experience. As you step off the ferry, you enter a world where tradition and tranquility reign, offering a unique and refreshing respite from the usual Goan tourist trails.
