It is a great place for snorkeling, dolphin spotting and scuba activities around Goa. Trip arrangement was perfectly done by the boat team. If you are not a swimmer don't worry as you will get life jacket for safety. Snorkeling equipment is also provided. The visibility in the water and temperature is very suitable. Scuba diving is not included in trip and is separate. Still this is one of the best budget friendly trips in Goa.

I wanted a break from my usual work routine and I wanted to go on a trip with my friend's, but something that would be worth the time, and within my budget. We stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days. We tried snorkeling, diving, banana ride, and so much more. On our last day, once we were done with lunch and a little shopping, we even booked a yacht along with 3 other people, and this experience was much better than other boat trips in Goa. All in all, the whole trip was really good. We are back feeling refreshed, and ready to work harder for another trip! I would highly recommend Goa to everyone, but ensure visiting in winters. The chilled sea water and warm sun rays falling on your face feels surreal and blissful.

This is an amazing place, every penny spent here was worth it. Goa has a lot of adventures for people who live for adventures and are looking for something crazy to do. It just goes to another level on the Grand Island. My experience on the Island have been of pure excitement and a very soothing one. The land here has a different excitement and the water has a different one, me and my friend were not expecting the amount of fun we had here. It's a place you go to and wouldn't regret.

Grand Island Goa, This is Awesome Place. Water Sports to good. Scuba 🤿 Diving Experience Amezing. Guys if you going to Goa, must visit Grand Island Trip Goa. This is Amezing Guys super.

My excursion to the Grand Island Goa was really an overwhelming experience. Literally affordable with quality services it added a lot of charm in my memories. Friendly dolphins made me so excited that i can feel every second. My snorkeling experience-wow!!.. It was arranged with proper safety measures under the guidance of excellent instructors. Also when I get into my fear got vanished and I was enjoying it freely. The sumptuous lunch iced my cake and added one more feather in this trip's beauty. That half day was more than my half life to be felt..I can never forget this tour and planning again to go there with my family and friends. I would like to suggest you if you ever go to goa.. Don't miss GRAND ISLAND GOA 😍😍

Hii all! did my scuba diving last year. I got a nice group. They guided and trained me so well. I viewed Dolphins.It was the best memory of Goa trip. Memorable experience to relish.

This tour is good only if you want to dive in the water. But if you have small kids and the main aim is to go to the island, then definitely NOT for you. In our case, visit to grand island was the only reason we chose to go. Their website mentions lunch on grand island beach. But they bring everyone back to Coco beach for lunch. They just stop near the island for diving activities but do not let anyone to get down on the island's beach now! They say it's because most of island's beach is now submerged after some previous tsunami! They should clearly mention this on their website so that non diving people can avoid! Lunch is just rice, chole and paav and was arranged on the dirty surroundings of Coco beach. However the dolphin sighting and the boat ride with beers was awesome hence 3 stars. But overall definitely not worth 1500rs per person! Edit: Owner's response is i did not book at all and they tried to contact me? My receipt no is 1313 for date 30th October and trip date was 12 Nov. Go and check! This itself shows their cheating nature, BEWARE! Reducing the rating down to 1 star now!

The Grand Island is closed since 3 4 months. These people take money n get booked for grand Island. The boat journey was good inside sea for around 45 kms .. saw dolphins which was beautiful moment. The scuba instructor has full control of oxygen and won't give even a minute time for using oxygen cylinder just passes to skip people. Food was ok types but the way it was served inside the boat. 56 members on boat was extremely horrible they won't take us to land n serve food properly . Instead of grand Island we were taken to bogmalo beach and rides were offered which was like extreme shot period games promised 5 but did 4 that too horrible n shot time. Worst plan if you are going with family. I taught to experience first then get my kids n full family ...but good I alone experienced all these things a big AVOID for family

Cheap and budget friendly but is overcrowded and extremely overcrowded on weekends No/minimal safety, swim and aqua sports are extremely risky and may be life-threatening as the staff (except the friendly staff on the boat) too is untrained especially the scuba and paragliding staff. Scuba staff keeps fighting with each other after doing wrong air fillings and is extremely rude to push out people (almost got a leg fracture due to this behaviour of staff) and also barely escaped drowning at the sea floor as only attendant is available who's too busy in making video and the escape point too stays overcrowded even if you are escaping the drowning. Luckily I'm a doctor and knew exactly what to do after escaping the drowning (staff doesn't even care of helping out a person after drowning). Paragliding staff is extremely rude and forcefully drags out people even when they are only starting to get ready for the sports. It's only good if you don't wanna leave the boat and are only for a budget friendly boat ride without even thinking of swimming or any aqua sports coz after leaving the boat, most of the staff is extremely rude and greedy for extra earnings for most activities.

I visited today and my experience is worst. One agent from goa tourism named ajay has done fraud with us. He told us about scuba diving but it was over the water . Moreover he told the place will be 30mins from goa but it was 5hours from goa. I suggest everyone to book the rides in goa itself.

Did my first scuba diving experience at Grand island 3 weeks back..it was awesome..Scuba and parasailing is worth paying..beach was very neat and clean with calm and tranquil surroundings..arrangements was very good..food was good..Loved the trip

Having this amazing trip on boat and in waters with the amazing people and having so much fun. After and that to at the Grand island trip Goa. This is the amazing and exciting experience. Grand Island trip is one of the best trip and cheapest trip in Goa where every age and everyone can live their one moment in life. This is the place where creating memory and taking it back with lot of happiness. Had a lot of fun and enjoyed a lot.

Good staffs, taking less down in scuba.. one two fishes only you can see.. comparatively good i can say

The overall experience was good. I did my scuba diving,paragliding,bumper ride,banana ride and jet ski.I had memorable and nice experience. In lunch they served me chole and rice.

Calm and clean beach Island... clear water.near to Vasco city...can see many jets and aeroplanes passing by.... beautiful place for doing water activities... dolphins also seen..must visit once....

Best place till ever. Scuba diving.

The worst experience of my life!!!! They charge a huge amount from the customers and provide 0 quality service. Here are some of the points based on which: 1. The boat in which they take us are over crowded and it's not clean at all. 2. They say they'll provide breakfast and buffet lunch, but at the end moment the breakfast got over and there was no buffet lunch. They gave limited food with 1 chicken piece. 3. Talking about the water sports, it was just for 30 seconds. The wait time for each water activity was more than an hour and the duration lasted for less than 30 seconds. 4. They assured us that they'll provide pickup and drop facility but they denied and told us they don't go to that location while dropping. We then, had to book a cab for return. 5. Most importantly they charge extra amount for scuba costume and caps too.

Grand Island, also known as Ilha Grande, is located in the Mormugao taluka of South Goa district. It is situated about 10 kilometers from the capital city, Panaji, and lies in the Arabian Sea. The island is known for its picturesque beauty and is a popular destination for tourists, especially for water sports and snorkeling activities. As for the history of Grand Island, it has a rich maritime history due to its strategic location. During the colonial era, Goa was under Portuguese rule, and Grand Island played a significant role as a trading post and a strategic outpost for the Portuguese navy. We have done many water activities here like scuba diving paragliding etc.

Overall the experience would be amazing with bachelors and friends. Not suitable with small kids because the tours include going near an island where the boat is kept in the sea and you do all the scooba and water sports there, you won't be able to touch the land during the whole tour. They would arrange another boat for you if you wish to leave early due to any reason.

The most worst experience. Irresponsible management. No rides covered. Simply make to sit in the boat in the middle of sea. Collected Rs 2700 from all of us.no rides no refund. When asked about this so arrogant behavior. Never ever book through Arihant travels .Sam and Anmol from arihant travels .total waste of time and money

Awesome Experience in life

Can have a good weekend fun.

0 star they don't even take us to island u have to in boat for 6 hours very bad

Trip was poorly organized, those who went for swimming/snorkeling had to wait very long for a different group of people doing the scuba. We never went to a beach which was supposed to be part of the schedule. Just sat on a boat in the ocean for hours, which was okay but honestly not worth it. Also lunch was quite poor.

The trip was quite intensive and I would say also cost effective. The bus was right on time. We liked the activities and it was nice that they provided soft drinks/water and a snack right at the beginning of the trip. It was really needed as lunch is late in the afternoon. On the down side, we didn't like the lunch. The bathroom on the boat was in pretty bad shape. Regarding the scuba diving, if it's your first experience it might be ok, otherwise don't expect anything special. It won't last more than few minutes immersion, but you would have plenty of time for swimming/snorkling while the others are in queue. A note for the organizers: we were shocked to see some of the crew members throwing plastic bottles in the sea. It's really not ok. There is enough pollution as it is.

It’s a wonderful journey, but not worthy for money we paid. Did Scuba Diving for the The first time, a beautiful experience. Better don’t take combo packs. For those who aren't well with Bus Travelling as well, it will be the same with Boat Travelling it'll be a horrible situation for them, including me😂 Enjoy your trip :)
