a serene atmosphere away from the crowded beaches - A Beautiful well-maintained jungle with a rich Zoo also, a serene atmosphere away from the crowded beaches of Goa, while driving into the jungle, you can see spotted deer, langurs and macaques. These animals live in the local jungle. There are viewing platforms for sighting wildlife. later the Spice farm visit was equally interesting, got to know about the Indian spices and relished lunch also

For all the tourists visiting Goa, Don't miss this bespoke Goa tour - I would say what an incredible experience I had in Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. After staying in Goa for 3 days, I was simply looking for something that is not a typical / stereotype Goa tour, and then i found this tour. The very moment I entered the sanctuary, I was astonished by seeing the lush greenery and the pristine environment. Away from the typical party going crowds, the sanctuary has got a vast range of flora and fauna. The guide knowledgeable and passionate to show-around. The sanctuary is well-maintained, and the local staff too is committed for protecting the environment and eager to educate the visitors. Later it was time for a spice plantation visit and a Delicious buffet lunch. Spice plantation had heir own expert guide for explaining about the cultivation and uses of Indian spices. Hope I could give 10 stars as 5 stars aren't enough, given the tour operators hard work in putting together this awesome bespoke Goa tour, and also his ground team for delivering exemplary ground services. For all the tourists visiting Goa, Don't miss it!

Great variety, good way to get introduced to Goa - My wife and I got picked up in the morning from the Airbnb, even though it wasn't on the official list of pickup locations, which was a nice gesture. The guide and the driver were both very nice and accomodating. The places we went were all interesting and while we hoped for a bit more wildlife in the wildlife sanctuary, the park itself was a beautiful and peaceful place. The spice tour was educational and tasty, the temples were old and grand, and the craft shop had masterful merchants to pour verbal honey into anyone's ears - a pleasure to buy from them. Overall a nice experience.

Enjoyable day out from North Goa - A great day out visiting the sights of Goa. The wildlife sanctuary, spice farm and church were all within an hours drive of North Goa, making it an accessible day out. Our guide for the day was fantastic, very knowledgeable with local information and would highly recommend

A Wonderful Goa Experience - This experience was a lovely one. In terms of logistics I was able to add another friend who wanted to come at the last minute, and we were immediately accommodated. Our hotel was not on the list of pick-up spots, but we were also immediately accommodated by our tour operator. Our driver John was very wonderful and patient with us and as we drove he answered all our questions about Goa and India and even shared a little of himself. He always reminded us that we were not in a rush so that we could experience everything and was very attentive. This is a very nice tour if you want to experience some nature and Goa in its natural elements and to observe people at the temples and churches and selling their wares. We learned a lot at the Spice Plantation and it was great to see and smell all the growing spices that we know and love and some new ones and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Good and Bad - We have visited this sanctuary many times over the years, and they have certainly invested a lot of money on improving the experience. The horticultural side is particularly beautiful. Many new enclosures for animals, though quite a few of the animals have disappeared, presumably died. Far less birds than there used to be. Attutude of the member of staff in the Watering Hole was appalling. What a slob!

Incorrectly named tour. - If I was rating the guide, it would be five stars however there was a mixup with the tour agent and we didn’t get the tour we booked. We were supposed to have a birdwatching tour, but we ended up going to the park and the zoo
