Goa Tour Packages

Goa tour package price guide (2026)

Goa packages on this page start at ₹5,999 per person. The hotel category decides most of the price, followed by the season and whether you pick North or South Goa (South Goa resorts are usually dearer for the same star rating). The bands below are per person on twin sharing, with breakfast, airport transfers and sightseeing by private car, excluding flights.

Add for flights: Ahmedabad–Goa return fares usually sit between ₹6,000 and 10,000 per person when booked 3–4 weeks ahead. Expect ₹14,000–20,000 for travel between 20 December and 5 January, and a premium in Diwali week. Usually extra on the ground: water sports, Dudhsagar jeep trip, casino entry, scuba at Grand Island, cruise tickets and lunches – the add-on price guide further down tells you what each one costs so you can budget before you leave Ahmedabad.

How to reach Goa from Ahmedabad – and which airport to fly into

Goa now has two airports, and the one you land at changes your transfer time more than anything else in the package.

• Rule of thumb: North Goa stay – fly to Mopa; South Goa stay – fly to Dabolim. If your package splits nights between the two, we book you into one airport and out of the other so you never backtrack.
• By train: Ahmedabad is connected to Madgaon and Thivim on the Konkan line; the journey takes roughly 18–22 hours. Groups who want to save on fares, or who enjoy the Konkan coast scenery, take the train one way and fly back.
• By road: about 1,100 km via Mumbai and Pune – a full day and night of driving. We do not recommend it for a 3–4 night trip; the flight costs less than the fuel and tolls.
• Getting around: packages include private AC transfers and sightseeing. For couples we can arrange a two-wheeler or self-drive car (licence required) for the free days; families and seniors keep the car.

Want five or six nights? Add a day trip to Palolem and Agonda in the far south, or a night at Arambol and Morjim in the far north.

North Goa or South Goa – a one-minute chooser

This is the question we are asked most, and getting it wrong is the commonest reason a Goa trip disappoints. Pick by the kind of holiday you want, not by the hotel photos.

If you cannot decide, do both: two nights in the south to rest, two in the north to play. The drive between them is about 1 hour 30 minutes and we route it through Old Goa so the transfer doubles as sightseeing.

Add-on price guide (per person, 2026, indicative)

• Water sports combo at Baga or Calangute (parasailing + jet ski + banana boat + bumper ride): about ₹1,500 – 2,500. Buy from the licensed counters, not the beach touts.
• Dudhsagar jeep safari from Mollem including forest permit and life jacket: about ₹2,500 – 3,500 per person; open roughly October to May and closed in the monsoon.
• Grand Island trip with snorkelling or an introductory scuba dive: about ₹2,000 – 4,000.
• Casino evening on an offshore casino in Panaji: entry about ₹2,500 – 5,000 depending on the day, usually including buffet dinner and some play coupons; weekends cost more.
• Mandovi sunset or dinner cruise: about ₹500 – 1,500.
• Two-wheeler hire: about ₹400 – 700 a day; self-drive hatchback ₹1,500 – 2,500 a day plus fuel.

Best time to visit Goa – month by month

For Gujarati families the two surge windows are Diwali week and 20 December – 5 January. If you must travel then, book flights and hotel together by early October; otherwise travel in the first half of December or in February and pay far less for the same resort.

Places to visit in Goa

• Calangute and Baga: Goa's busiest beaches, the hub for water sports, shacks and the Saturday night market – stay here if you want everything on foot.
• Candolim and Sinquerim: calmer than Baga, with Fort Aguada and its lighthouse at the end; our usual pick for couples.
• Anjuna, Vagator and Chapora fort: red cliffs, the Wednesday flea market and the best sunset viewpoint in the north.
• Old Goa: Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral, UNESCO-listed and an easy half-day stop between north and south.
• Panaji and Fontainhas: Portuguese-era lanes, Miramar beach, Dona Paula jetty, and the casino boats and sunset cruises on the Mandovi.
• Dudhsagar waterfall: a four-tier waterfall on the Karnataka border reached by forest jeep; the most popular day trip for families from October to May.
• Colva and Benaulim: wide, quiet beaches in the south with the best family resorts.
• Palolem and Agonda: the crescent beaches of the far south, ideal for a slow day with a kayak or a dolphin boat.
• Ponda temples and spice plantations: Mangueshi and Shantadurga temples, and plantation lunches that serve a full vegetarian thali.
• Grand Island: snorkelling and introductory scuba trips from Vasco or Baga.
• Divar and Chorao islands: ferry rides, Salim Ali bird sanctuary and village lanes for a non-beach morning.

Food, hotels and tips for Gujarati travellers

• Pure-veg and Jain food in Goa is easier than most people fear. The Calangute–Baga–Candolim belt has several Gujarati thali and Jain-friendly restaurants, and Panaji and Margao have long-running vegetarian restaurants. In South Goa the resorts cook vegetarian on request; we give the kitchen your Jain requirements (no onion, garlic or root vegetables) in writing before arrival and share a restaurant list by beach belt with your vouchers.
• Beach shacks: most serve vegetarian dishes, but kitchens are shared. If that matters, eat at the resort or at the dedicated vegetarian restaurants we list.
• Hotel categories: 3★ hotels in the north are typically 5–10 minutes' walk from the beach; 4★ properties add pools and bigger rooms; 5★ beach resorts, mostly in the south, sit directly on the sand with gardens, kids' clubs and multiple restaurants. For honeymooners we shortlist resorts with private-pool or sea-view rooms.
• Pack: swimwear, flip-flops, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen; a light cover-up for churches and temples (shoulders and knees covered); a small dry bag for water sports.
• Money and connectivity: UPI works at shacks, taxis and markets; ATMs are everywhere. Mobile network is good along the coast.
• Safety and timings: swim only where lifeguards are posted and never after sunset; red flags mean no swimming. Water sports counters work roughly 9 am to 5 pm. Taxis are costly in Goa, so a package with a private car saves real money.
• Alcohol and casinos: both are legal and open; the casino boats admit adults only (21 and above). Families with teenagers should plan a separate evening.
