Amazing Service

This place is next-level 🌴🐊 I took a boat ride through Cumbarjua Canal and it was lowkey magical. Spotted some crocodiles, saw tons of birds, and the mangroves were insane. The vibes were so chill, it felt like a wildlife documentary come to life. Definitely a must-do in Goa!

Our boat ride along the Cumbarjua Canal was a serene and intimate experience, perfect for our romantic getaway. The tranquil waters, the lush mangroves, and the occasional sighting of crocodiles created a sense of wonder and connection. It was a beautiful moment to share, just the two of us, surrounded by nature's splendor.

Good Service

Cumbarjua Canal is a great value-for-money experience. For just INR 300, you get an hour-long boat ride through stunning mangroves and a chance to spot crocodiles and various bird species. It's easily accessible by road or boat from Panaji or Old Goa. Definitely worth it if you're looking for an affordable and memorable adventure in Goa.
