Goa isnβt just about beaches; thereβs so much more to explore, and this experience is the perfect way to discover that side of Goa! What truly made this experience special wasnβt just the place, but the people who brought it to life. We were accompanied by Captain Vikram and Instructor Suchin, who made the entire tour absolutely amazing. They explained everything so well and shared fascinating insights about the place, birds, mangroves, and the surrounding ecosystem. Their knowledge, passion, and friendly nature made the experience both enjoyable and informative. One of my biggest takeaways from this tour was understanding how important mangroves are. Just like the trees around us, mangroves play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, protecting coastlines, and providing a home for countless species. It made me realise that Goa is so much more than its beautiful beaches, and there is so much to learn and appreciate beyond them. A big thanks to Captain Vikram and Instructor Suchin for making this tour such a memorable experience! If you want to explore a different side of Goa, learn something new, and enjoy the beauty of nature with wonderful guides, this is definitely worth experiencing. Last but not the least Suchin helped capturing so many moments!!! Thank you once again!!Posted on Google![]()

Extremely well planned and professional service offered by SVS. From the time of booking till the execution of the trip everything was perfect. All the staff were very helpful and very courteous. They made the entire trip enjoyable and memorable for us. The activities included were swimming in the ocean, Frisbee game in the sea, mangrove watching and lastly cherry on the cake was we spotted dolphins just when we were about to give up. But even if we didn't see dolphins the trips would have been equally memorable. Thanks team SVS for the amazing experience.Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing experience at SVS Chapora Cruise and Kayaking! We were staying near Morjim, so it was just a 10β15 minute drive for us. We were a group of 7, including 2 kids, and honestly, the experience was much better than we expected. The captain and the two boys, Suchin and Mohit, were so friendly and welcoming. They took great care of us, especially the kids, helped us with pictures, and kept us entertained throughout the trip. It genuinely felt like we were with friends or family. The hospitality was excellent and made the whole experience really special. Definitely a 5-star experience! βββββ Highly recommended if you're in Goa. And trust me, the actual experience is even better than what you see on Google!Posted on Google![]()
