About this trip
Four nights on the quiet beaches of South Goa, far from the crowds of the north. A boat out to look for dolphins and to Butterfly Beach, the cliff fort of Cabo de Rama at sunset, and long, free days on Palolem and Agonda.
One of our Goa tour packages from Kochi. Flights quoted from your city.
Who this version is for
For honeymooners and couples who want the sea and quiet. From November to April: Palolem’s beach huts and the boat trips run only in the dry season, and the beach is quiet in the monsoon. Fly into Dabolim, about an hour and a quarter away; the new Mopa airport in the north is two and a half to three hours by road.
Going from Kerala
Goa is about an hour and twenty minutes non-stop from Kochi. Trains from Ernakulam to Madgaon on the Konkan line take about 14 to 16 hours, and an overnight one suits families.
The Christmas break is Goa at its liveliest, with the highest prices, so book early. A Pooja long weekend is enough for three nights, as the season starts. The April–May summer break is hot but quieter. The Onam break falls in the monsoon: green and beautiful, but the sea is closed for swimming.

We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.
