Wonderful trip to Elephanta Island with private guide - Private speedboat from India Gate to the islands where we met Manoj our local guide. He expertly guided us through the caves giving us just the right amount of detail about the history and religion. Also brilliant at knowing the best spot to take a photo. Would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience - We had a fantastic time at the caves. Manoj was a fantastic host up at the caves. Took time to explain everything to us and was so kind in explaining the Hindu religion and significance to each statue. Abhi got us here and was efficient in making sure we got everything we wanted right from the start. This is exactly the place you want to go to.

Amazing Informative Experience - Great afternoon with Manoj and Abhi. We were 2 adults and 1 child (5yrs) and they helped keep the tour entertaining for everyone. Manoj was very informative and gave us a lot of information about the caves. He looked after us and pointed out the last place to buy water or use the restrooms which is also helpful. He also helped keep our son entertained when he was getting tired and even carried him and our bag for a bit. The private speedboat was definately worth the extra £££ as it sped up the travel time by almost 3x than the ferry.

Overall good experience - The boat guide showed up 25 minutes late. We were still the second boat at the island with a 9am departure. The steps are killer be prepared in the hotter months. Since the shops were not open yet it was a long trek with no breaks. The land guide Manoj was good he is from and lives on the island. Very knowledgeable. Offered us water on the way up. We looked at all of the earlier attempts to make the temple. It is a shame the ruins are so damaged but the point gets across. The boat ride back offers the opportunity to cool off and dry off. They stop in front of india gate for pics if you like. Overall great to be there with no crowds and with a fast commute total tour was 2 hours. Go in a cooler month if you can.
