Exploring Divar Island's Monsoon Charm
Description
The Island of Dveepvattika or Divar as we presently know it, is the only major Island in Goa not connected by road. Flanked by Old Goa and Ribandar, this island was once home to famous temples of Goa including the Temple of Saptkoteshwar, the family deity of the Kadambas. The Divar Island exploration will show you the historic gems of the Island and the beautiful scenic landscapes along with it. We visit the Christian monuments, the ancient ruins of a temple and also witness a beautiful sunset on a fun boat ride through the river. Feni has always been an integral part of Goan culture. On this tour we give you a tasting experience at a local tavern! Note: This is not a walking trail. Transport would be required to cover the points between the trail internally. We recommend using the same transport that you come by for the whole trail. Transport is not provided by Soul Travelling. Trail Duration: 4 Hours Start Time: 3 PM

What a wonderful tour! Atul was the perfect guide. His storytelling and describing things was so engaging.
Exploring history felt completely different with such an incredible tour guide leading the way. Every monument, street, and hidden corner came alive through fascinating stories, lesser-known facts, and engaging narration that made the past feel real and unforgettable. What could have been just sightseeing turned into a meaningful journey through culture, history, and time.... truly one of the most memorable parts of the trip.
Thank you so much for such a beautifully written and heartfelt review! 😊 We’re truly delighted to hear that the experience made history feel so alive and meaningful for you. It means a lot to know that the stories, hidden details, and narration transformed the walk from simple sightseeing into a memorable journey through Goa’s culture and heritage. Your kind words are incredibly encouraging for our ambassadors, who are passionate about bringing these stories to life in an engaging and authentic way. Thank you once again for being a part of the experience. We hope to welcome you back for many more unforgettable journeys through Goa!
Had the most amazing experience!! Divar Island tour Koonan was extra special. He's the coolest guide we could ever get. The information he provided and the he way conveyed was the amazing. A good mix art, culture and fun. The tour ended with snacks and Feni tasting which was highlight of the trip. A sundowner trip on a boat with Amrut around Vanxim island was too good!

Extremely well planned trail and the best part was the snack and genius tasting, absolutely worth it! Best sunset, good company and the sweetest gesture of giving a post card. Thank you Mr. Koonan #memorymade :))
Amazing as always. This was my third time with Soul Travelling and I had a great time. Koonan is amazing ambassador.

Koonan will be so happy to know that you enjoyed exploring with him once again. Looking forward to hosting you for many more memorable experiences in Goa!
Amazing experience at Divar Island . Been to Goa many times but this time could experience old heritage and culture . Great river ride on the Mandovi . Could see beautiful mangroves , birds and 2 huge crocodiles very closely. Our Guide Atul knew the region very well and ended up the tour with fresh snacks and some different Feni. Highly recommended to explore different experiences of Soul Travellers. .
Explored Divar Island with Daksh and had an incredible experience. The boat ride was beautiful, and we spotted so many unique bird species along the way. Daksh shared fascinating history about each place we visited, which made the journey even more meaningful. Enjoyed delicious riverside snacks, and the highlight was spotting a crocodile in its natural habitat!
A big thank you to our tour guide Leane for an absolutely amazing Divar Island experience. She shared fascinating insights about the old Portuguese houses, so many details that I personally wasn’t aware of, which really brought the island’s history to life. Leane was also extremely knowledgeable about the tides and planned the boat ride perfectly for bird and crocodile spotting. Every detail was thoughtfully handled. Overall, a wonderful experience, thank you to Leane and Soul Travelling for making it so memorable!
Had an excellent experience at Divar with Leanne! Very thoughtfully curated at a beautiful site - and was great to learn about the centuries of history packed into this island. Leanne was a wonderful guide and host - her positive energy and engaging narration style enhanced the overall experience. Highly recommend!
