Good Service

We took the ferry from Old Goa to Divar Island with our kids, and it was a great experience. The ferry is clean, safe, and free for passengers and two-wheelers, which is a big plus. The short 15-minute ride was enjoyable, and the kids loved the open water views. Only thing to note is that there aren't many amenities on the island, so plan your meals and activities accordingly.
