Thanks to my company for amazing chill out at Goa. We went there with our company group. All seniors, juniors all involved along with each other. We played all together at coco beach. Staff enjoyed water sports. We are unable to control our excitement with snorkeling. It is a great package option with all team building. We made BBQ fish with experimenting methods. I appreciate efforts of our admin for choosing this. He booked the trip 3-month before. The huge Arabian Sea was gigantic. Our company took good initiative for its staff this time.
I have never tried snorkeling before, so this time I decided I will go for it. While booking the snorkeling package online, I mentioned my hotel’s name from where I would like to be picked up for the trip. The package costed me Rs. 1299 which is undoubtedly worth the experience. The pick up car came early in the morning to my hotel in Calangute, from the jetty we reached the snorkeling spot.
I got an experienced guide who briefed me about snorkeling. I listened to him carefully. Then slid underwater, he was constantly with me so I was not nervous.
I thought I would panic as it was my first time. Saw a swarm of fish swam by which was yellow and black in color. Some other colorful fishes also swam by. He sight was just exotic. i was wearing snorkel suit, tube, face mask and flaps. My guide clicked a few pictures of mine and made a few videos.
After coming out of the sea, I just sat and relaxed.
My whole body was just feeling the water. It was a bit scary as there was no land under my feet. But I was feeling enthralled that I just did it, being a hydrophobic it is a big thing for me. A delicious lunch and chilled cold drink was waiting for me. I enjoyed the barbeque fish and beer. Then, headed back to the hotel.
The beauty of underwater is something exotic and in every Goa trip I make sure I go for it. Scuba diving is a far more expensive recreational activity but snorkeling is cheaper than scuba diving. I find snorkeling more relaxing than scuba diving. I booked the snorkeling package at Rs1299 online. I was picked up from my hotel at Panjim at 8 am. Reached the snorkeling spot, as duty the guide instructed me about the water activity, made me wear the mask, snorkel and snorkel suit. I enjoyed every bit of it. My package included lunch as well.
My day was well spent with activities and food. Not to forget the beautiful dolphins that we spotted on our way to the snorkeling spot. the magnetic effect of the Arabian sea is such that I always head to Goa atleast twice in a year. Exploring the marine world has become my hobby and for me the major attraction is the special barbeque fish.
I will give my trip a 4 star and would recommend it to the experienced as well as the first timers.
My third visit to Goa. Actually I have been there two times prior as well. But this time it’s Snorkeling Trip in Goa. Snorkeling package was quite affordable. But I disappointed when food was not good. I wish I could eat tasty food there. I am a regular traveler in general. Moreover, this trip is my best booking so far. I was little concerned about safety arrangements. But, it was not at all with any issues. The memory of bumpy boat ride made my stomach tingle. Each time I visit Goa, I explore more and more. I carried snorkeling gears for full fledged fun. I had a pleasurable experience this time.

I availed the grand island trip in Goa last November. As I went to Goa on my honeymoon, my wife and I decided to engage in some adventurous tours. So, we booked the snorkeling package in the island tour of Goa. Though the price for the trip was affordable, the ride to the island was not smooth, and we had to go through a bumpy boat ride. The safety arrangement was top-notch though, and we had a great session due to comfortable snorkeling gears. The lunch was a bummer since the quality of the food was not good. But overall the trip was worth the money since we got the best booking deal on the internet and got a 30% discount.
I am writing in detail about my recent experience to grand islands. I read a Grand Island Goa review in which someone was telling about the bad things here. But I would like to highlight the positive side of this tour.
During the whole trip these guys gave us great service. We booked our seats online and got corporate discount for this package. The affordability of the package makes it very hot selling. During the boat ride we also watched dolphin which is very beautiful.
Dolphins were coming out of water so close to our boat and jumping. The sightseeing from boat was very calm. When we reached beach, boats were given to us and the instructor guided us about the safety measures. Also, playing volleyball at the beach was a different experience for us.
We were also given many snorkel gear so that we can do that easily and safely. Snorkeling was a good water sport for us. It was out first and the best time.
As I made the bookings three months prior to our Goa trip, I was a bit worried whether everything will be perfect or not. To my surprise, my grand island snorkeling trip was the best part of my Goa journey. On the day of our Grand island tour, we were picked up from our hotel at Calangute. We were taken to the ferry point in an AC accommodation.
As it was early morning 8, the weather was fine. Then our boat journey began and the vast Arabian sea was just breathtaking. We could spot dolphins, the experience was just amazing. The boat halted at a spot and our guide announced, ‘Who ever wants to go for snorkeling can go ahead.’ I was enthralled and just wore my snorkel tube and hopped into the sea.
I was a bit scared but the adrenaline rush forced me to just live my life to the fullest. The guide was very good, he was there with me when I was experiencing the underwater world.
I fully recommend the Grand Island tour to everyone visiting Goa. If you miss this, you will just miss a major part of your Goa trip.
I really loved this tour!!!! Everything on this tour was super-duper amazing. I and my cousins went on this trip. Booked this trip online. My college mate suggested me to add this trip in my goa itinerary. I thanked him for suggesting me about this. Everything from snorkeling to boating on this tour is awesome. Frankly speaking I can go to this trip again and again.
Snorkeling in goa was like dream for us. We went on boat trip to the Grand Island where we cousins enjoyed very much. Food quality is very nice. Equipment provided during the trip for safety were also of high quality. We clicked selfies on the Grand Island which is very beautiful place and one must come to this place.
Goa is the best place for water sports activities. I have always heard about it but never got a chance to experience it. Finally, my dream came true. My company group was planning it and we booked it 3- months before. Oh my God! Goa is so beautiful and snorkeling there was nice. The company gave us Grand Island Trip package and I would thank you for that. It was the best. We all had a good time while snorkeling in the Arabian Sea. Water sports are enjoyable here and you all must also try them out.
I would love to mention about the very tasty BBQ fish. Actually, I have never ever loved eating a fish in my whole life. But BBQ fish was tasty! I ate it very easily. This activity of snorkeling in Goa is quite nice and how can I even forget it in my whole lifetime. Did it all at the Coco Beach and we would be happy to recommend you to others also.
You are worthy of praises, guys! Millions of thank you couldn’t be enough for the cooperation you showed for us. I am deciding to visit Goa again, get set to plan our tour yet again.
I booked this snorkeling package online and my sister advised me to book in 2-3 months advance so that we can get a good deal. Although this is a small package it is the best package in goa and the affordability outshines it from other high-end goa packages. Everything has pros and cons, so the same happened in this package. This half day was a mixture of many experiences.
Pros- staff was very good, the driver picked up on time, dolphin watching part was excellent and snorkeling with all safety gears at Grand Island too.
Cons- the food was not good; the boat ride was little bumpy and the weather was very hot. But overall, I enjoyed the trip and the memories are still fresh in my mind.
On a whole I can say that you all must definitely visit this place.
Perfect family trip. I planned this whole trip with my amma and appa. As my Appa loves beach and sea so I choose this package. My amma was little bit scared to sit on a boat but I motivated her and she really liked it. We visited goa for the first time and it really felt like heaven for us.
The clarity of water was impressive. I am in love with Goa now. The staff was good in talking and helping also. Overall the experience was good. We clicked so many pictures during the boat ride and my family really loved it.
Me and my appa did snorkeling as we brought extra clothes with us. The instructors provided life jackets and safety instructions were given by them. Staff working here is very knowledgeable and they made this snorkeling trip very easy.
It is really the best place ever. Also, you will find it perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. The water temperature was suitable for us. The buffet lunch was okay! I cannot say it as up to my expectations.
Choosing Snorkeling at Grand Island Goa, best decision for me. The whole day was amazing during the trip. No time of the day we felt bored or tired. While sailing in the boat we were enjoying the weather and the greatest attraction of this trip dolphin watching. We saw 4-5 dolphins during our boat ride. Although I wasn’t expecting this kind of experience during my trip but I will say it was real worth every penny trip.
This small package helped me to explore new side of goa. We enjoyed the water sports on the beach as well as half day boat ride. Later we dived into the sea with life jackets on and then we reached the Grand Island. Reaching on Grand Island we were served meals on the beach. Overall it was a great trip
We had placed a booking for Grand Island trip through online and even making the payment was very easy through online portal. We were a group of 15 persons, just completed schooling and wanted to travel little sound of Goa. It was long awaited trip and everybody was excited about the tour.
Only the hotel booking and grand Island trip was paid off. Rest we decided to hire a scooty on rent to explore Goa by ourself. On day 3, we got a call from the office of Grand Island trip asking us to be reach on next day in the morning and they sent their vehicle to pick us up from the hotel.
The boat ride took us to Grand Island Trip. We heard a lot about snorkeing in Goa. We were taken to the diving side where got briefing from the trainer and how to use the equipment and snorkel inside sea. Life enriching experience for all of us. Will return to Goa one day. Team Grand Island trip rocks…
Snorkeling in Goa is a hot selling package and everybody wants to get this experience. Also, it was just a half day boat trip. We placed our booking well in advance so that we don’t miss while we will be in Goa. I always wented to do snorkeling and what better place it can be than Goa.
I won’t hide, I was bit nervous as it was going to be my first time to dive into the sea but I was assured that all safety measured will be well taken care of. With me, there was also a family with children on jetty and I thought if children can do then why not me.
By the way, we wore new life jacket for safety measure. We reached there and it was a surprise for us to have our meals on the beach and yes, meals were just delicious and mouth-watering. They cooked it properly and then I requested them to introduce who cooked the meal. She was a lady, like my mom’s age and she was very kind and gentle. After meal, our trainer explained how it is going to be about the snorkelling, gear and snorkel too.
A little briefing session was enough for us as we got confidence and even, our trainer came with us and taught us some important lessons. In the evening, we came back to Goa and now, I like to thank everyone for making this trip a memorable one.
