Itinerary
Travel notes of the day
The Reis Magos Fort and the Aguada Fort are the splendid remnants of the Portuguese era in Goa.
The Reis Magos Fort, one of the oldest in Goa, has served as a fortress as a first line of defence., a jail, as well as a hospital! It is a mix of Hindu and Portuguese styles of architecture. Built in 1551, it lies on the banks of the Mandovi river and overlooks the city of Panjim.
The Aguada fort, which overlooks the Arabian sea, is one of the best examples of Portuguese military style architecture, and was used by the Portuguese to ward off enemies.
Olá! Welcome to Goa!
A representative awaits your arrival at the airport/railway station/ bus stand and will escort you to your hotel where you can check in and wash up. Today is all about beaches and forts!
After some shut-eye at the hotel, we visit the quaint Reis Magos Fort and Aguada Fort and catch some lovely views of Panjim and of the gorgeous ocean. We then head out to Calangute beach and Baga beach for some surf and sand.
Enjoy a lovely, complimentary welcome dinner at the hotel.

Travel notes of the day
Old Goa, or 'Velha Goa' was actually founded by the Sultanate of Bijapur but was later taken over by the Portuguese. It is now, a small town of sorts with European-influenced architecture, with a bunch of churches, cathedrals, museums and other historical sites, and is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Today calls for a tour of the charming Old Goa. After some breakfast, we set out to visit Old Goa's beautiful churches and cathedrals - the Basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral, St. Cajetan.
Our next stop is a lovely picnic lunch at a farm where we spend some time amidst nature and wildlife. After a tour of the plantation, we can spend a while poolside, and go for a refreshing swim.
We wrap up our day with an hour's sunset cruise on the Mandovi river. Catch the orange skies and some fresh breeze while watching the sun disappear into the horizon.
