What to expect

Pass ancient villages, temples and dense forests as you cruise the backwaters of the River Aldona in a traditional Goan houseboat. As you sail, grab a drink from the bar, try your hand at fishing, or just sit back and enjoy the peace. Then, as the sun sets, there's a traditional dinner, live music and an overnight stay in a plush cabin onboard.

Hemmed in by jungle and mangrove forest it's teeming with wildlife here, so keep your eyes peeled for monkeys in the trees and crocs in the water. Gliding gently downstream, we'll stop for a spot of traditional fishing or if you prefer, just kick back, relax and admire the scenery.

Sunsets on the Aldona are nothing short of spectacular, so after toasting to one with a drink or two, you'll have dinner and watch some live music as the stars come out. Then bed down for the night in your fully air-conditioned cabin and you'll wake up to the chirping of birds on the riverbank. After breakfast, we sail back to jetty for your transfer back to the hotel.
