A Must-Try Experience! - The Island Exploration at Divar trail with Soul Traveling, with Omkar as our ambassador, was the highlight of our Goa trip this summer. We had heard about Divar and were wanting to visit it for a long time. The guided tour of the island with Omkar made the visit worth the wait. Omkar’s passion for the island and its history brought its stories to life. The Saptokoteshwar temple site and its history were fascinating. The trail also included a relaxing boat ride with Mr Amrut (from Goa.Say.Boatride). Mr Amrut’s knowledge about the mangroves was extremely impressive. He helped us identify various varieties of mangroves and explained their significance in Goa’s marine ecosystem. We also managed to spot two crocodiles napping between the mangroves during our boat ride! Finally, the feni tasting experience at the Island Bar and Restaurant with Mr. Anil Durbhatkar added another memorable dimension to this trail. The snacks he made for us were also very tasty and fresh. Will definitely recommend this trail to anyone looking for an offbeat Goa experience!

THE BEST ISLAND EXPLORATION EVER! - What an amazing experience it was. Honestly, I'm in love with how beautifully this experience was crafted. Also, OMKAR was brilliant at his work.. literally the BEST

Goa as not normally seen ! - Decided to see the ‘unspoilt ‘ parts of Goa so chose a trip to Divar Island . Our guide from Soul Travelling was Omkar with whom we connected instantly . He is warm and welcoming and narrated the the myths in addition to the historical facts . The trip covered a church which was a lookout by the Portuguese for other colonialists, ancient temple escalations , a boat trip and yes - Feni tasting ! Many thanks to our boat navigator ( Amrut Kaka ) who explained the details of the river , the types of trees and also the wild life ( didn’t see any crocs ) . The Feni tasting quiz ( we had to guess the flavours ) was at Anil Kaka’s home and we had some lovely green chutney sandwiches and Goan cutlets . And pulling it all together was Omkar - who was always cheerful and willing to show us the real Goa and how proud he was to be a Goan . ( This was appreciated as we are Goan too) Kudos to Soul Travelling for their clear communication once we booked the trip .

The Divar exploration with Soul Travelling and Omkar - The Divar walk was very exciting, enriching and interesting! Omkar, our trail guide, is such a vivid and illustrious orator and story-teller, who really elevates the entire experience. He is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and friendly. The trail is not only well-curated, but so well executed and researched that it leaves you in such awe of the history of our beautiful state of Goa and the making of it. Highly highly recommend Soul Travelling and Omkar, who both make for the perfect off-beat experience!

Amazing Experience with Soul Travelling - Divar Island is one of the most serene and beautiful off beat locations in Goa. The place is serene, quiet and peaceful, away from the city rush.

The day well spent - We took the Divar Island tour with soul travelling and it was the highlight of our Goa trip. We have been to Goa 5 times but this experience stood out. The ambassadors Omkar and Karan were rockstars. Omkar became favourite of our little ones and they didn't want him to leave. Karan's knowledge and story telling skills were top notch. Omkar told the same stories to our 4 and 7 year olds in a manner suited to them and they learnt and enjoyed which was amazing. We had yummy tea on the way. Special thanks to Amrut kaka who took us on the boat ride and pointed to so many different birds and told us about how locals catch fishes and crabs. And then came the crocodiles which left us in awe. Watching them in their natural habitat in the wild is another experience in itself. The tour ended at a local eatery and bar. The snacks were yummm and feni tasting was interesting made more surreal with the sun setting above the fields. It was amazing. This tour was thoroughly enjoyed by young ones too and my senior dad. It was worth every single penny. Unmissable.

Highly recommended Experience - We went on the island tour to divar and had such a great experience, Omkar our guide was so knowledgeable and very friendly and made us feel very comfortable and welcome, he told us all about the history of the island from ancient history all the way up to Portuguese history. He also brought us to meet Amrut and his family who brought us on a boat ride where we got to see many birds and even some crocodiles and we got to see the beautiful sun reflecting off the water which made the river trip so beautiful and special, finally we ended with Omkar bringing us to meet Anil who provided us with some lovely food and we tasted feni, a local goan alcohol in many flavours. And we watched the sunset over the horizon. All in all it was a brilliant experience and would recommend it to anyone travelling to Goa

Exploration of the beautiful island - Omkar was a great tour guide and made this tour definitely worth it. We explored the lovely divar island and got to know about the history of Portuguese church and an ancient temple ruins. We then went for bird and crocodile watching in the river by the mangrove forest hosted by Amrut. We were lucky and spotted few crocodiles. After this we ended the day with Goan Feni tasting hosted by Anil. His restaurant was lovely and we enjoyed the sunset there. I would recommend this trip to everyone 10/10.

The unseen and unheard part of Goa. Only to experience the best with soul travelling. - The trail is very well planned, it’s easy to find all the details. The ambassadors are prompt. It’s a beautiful mix of landscape, nature, culture, unheard stories of Goa. The trail involves ferry ride, mangroves exploration, bird watching ( we saw crocodiles as well), surreal sunset, authentic home cooked food, fenny tasting. The trail was so interesting because Omkar, our ambassador guide took all efforts. He is humble, knowledgeable, resident of Goa. He is a storyteller, joins the Group members with his leadership. There are pop quizzes and loads of laughter. Had a best time in Goa. It’s a must experience.

Amazing Divar Island, Goa exploration - Had amazing experience with Soul travelling's The Divar island exploration trip on my recent trip to Goa. Our guide Omkar was having indepth knowledge on history of the place and he spent good amount of time with us taking us through the tour and places on Divar Island. We also had amazing boat ride with Amrut Kaka in Yadoon Ki Kasti and yummy snacks and feni tasting at Anol kaka's traven. Overall very well time spent and very informative trip. For someone looking for offbeat Goa experience, I would recommend take Soul Travelling tours.
