Goa Backwaters & Islands
- Duration
- Full day
- Where
- Chorao, Divar and the Mandovi–Zuari channels
- Ideal for
- Travellers who like getting places by boat
Divar Island is ten minutes by ferry from Old Goa and feels forty years behind it — empty lanes, big houses, and the Piedade church on the hill with a view over the whole estuary. Chorao next door holds the mangrove bird sanctuary.
The day runs on free public ferries and a hired boat, which is a considerably better way to see Goa than any road.
Highlights
- Divar Island, ten minutes and forty years from Old Goa
- The Piedade church and its estuary view
- Chorao's mangrove channels by boat
- Public ferries as transport, which they still are
