A tour of Goa is not possible in a day. A realistic chance of discovering Goa would ideally take about a weeks time as Goa is not only about the beaches but there is more to Goa’s side than the Goan sandy shores. A tour of Goa would therefore not be complete by a mere visit to the Goa beach or the entire Goan coastline where the Goan beaches line up one after the other.
Goa tour packages are however designed for a day in most cases as tourists vising Goa have a shortage of time and would like to see the best of Goa within around 8 hours flat. It is not possible to showcase Goa in such a short time but tour operators in Goa normally do their best to provide the avid traveller with a capsule of Goa’s beauty in 8 hours.
However Goa would be incomplete without the hinterland of Goa which has the beauty of Goa within its lush open fields, green verdant vegetation, beautiful hilly sides, gurgling springs, beautiful rivers, ancient temples, Portuguese churches, articulate Goan cuisine, rich Goan culture and Goan traditions and lifestyles.
Boat cruising on the Mandovi is a favorite among tourists who visit Goa for the first time and is often part of the Goa tour packages. However this activity is more of a closeted entertainment rather than a tour of Goa and cannot be actually part of a true Goa tour package. It is mostly undertaken in the evenings when it is dark and in this, people are lost in dancing on the cruise boats to bollywood music rather than enjoying the view of the coastline. Boat cruising in Goa should therefore be undertaken in the day when people can actually marvel at the Goan riversides and mangroves and admire the beauty of Goa.
Goa tour packages should actually showcase the true Goa and show all of Goa’s inherent beauty, Goa’s essence, Goa’s historically significant places, Goa’s great people, Goa’s existence as an independent state and its origins, Goa’s museums, artefacts etc.
Goa is rich in its temples and churches which are endowed with beautiful architecture and this needs to be shown to tourists in rotation. Goa tour packages should rotate the churches and temples that they show tourists so that the same monuments are not shown repeatedly as Goa is abundant in temples , churches and other monuments.
