About This Experience
Slow down and enjoy Goa from the river with this sunset hi-tea cruise on the Mandovi. Designed as a quieter alternative to the usual dinner cruise, this experience is perfect for guests who want golden-hour views, light refreshments and a relaxed evening on the water.
Boarding starts at 4:45 PM from Santa Monica Jetty, Panaji, with the cruise departing at 5:00 PM. Once onboard, you’ll be served hi-tea with Goan snacks, sweets, masala chai and soft drinks. The menu may include items such as samosas, prawn cutlets, sannas with chicken cafreal and seasonal Goan cake.
As the cruise moves along the Mandovi, you’ll pass some of Panjim’s well-known riverside sights including Old Panjim, Adil Shah Palace, Reis Magos and the Atal Setu. The captain provides light commentary along the way, helping you understand the landmarks as you sail past them.
A short Goan folk performance adds a local cultural touch without turning the experience into a loud party cruise. The timing is planned around sunset, giving you soft evening light for photos and a calm return journey back to the jetty by around 6:30 PM.
This cruise is ideal for couples, families, first-time visitors to Goa, and anyone looking for a simple, scenic evening activity before dinner.
