Mandovi River Boat Cruise & Dinner Cruise in Goa
A Mandovi river cruise from Panjim is an easy, relaxed way to spend an evening, with the lights of the capital and the riverside on both sides. Cruises usually combine live music or a cultural performance with the sunset, and a dinner option is available for a longer evening. We can arrange the tickets together with a cab to and from your hotel.
