Goa: common questions
- South for couples and families. North for nightlife only.
- Mopa (GOX) in the north or Dabolim (GOI) near the south coast. Dabolim is about 30 minutes from South Goa; Mopa is closer to the northern beaches.
- No. From June to September the sea is rough, lifeguards close the beaches to swimming and water sports stop.
- For a first visit, yes. If you only want the beach, spend all four nights in the south.
- No. Every trip is planned for one family, couple or group of friends at a time: flights, hotels, drivers, guides and sightseeing, all chosen for you.
- Message us on WhatsApp — there is no form. Tell us roughly where, roughly when, and who is travelling. A trip designer replies personally, usually the same day, and follows up with a call to understand your priorities before sending a proposal.
- Where we show a figure it is indicative, per couple, and all-inclusive — flights, visa, hotels, sightseeing, transfers, breakfast and dinner. It is a planning number, not a quote: it is confirmed once hotels and transport are actually held, and it moves with the exchange rate on the day of booking. Trips without a figure are priced on enquiry.
- Yes. On our Europe trips both are included in the indicative price — return flights and visa application support and fees. Elsewhere we book flights through your preferred airline alliance and co-ordinate visa documentation separately.
