Private island in Arabo
Leanne was a wonderful host. She took us through this small island. Gave us good insights about the mangrove forest around + we had the best kayaking experience ever! The food, snacks and cocktails were the added experience. All worth it! Highly recommend this taking this trail. ♥️ Thanks Leanne. :)

Must in a lifetime
A special shout-out to our ambassador, Karan! He made the entire experience seamless, safe, and engaging. From the pre-paddle safety briefing to guiding us effortlessly through the serene mangrove canals, Karan's energy, local stories, and attentiveness put everyone at ease—even the first-time paddlers in our group. Ending the session with peaceful river views and local snacks made it a perfect day. If you are looking for an authentic, tranquil side of Goa, this experience is an absolute must. Thanks, Karan! and Soul travelling.
