How rich and ancient is Goa
The history, geography and mythology of the islands was fascinating. The aviary was not functioning. The ferry ride crossing the river was very interesting too.

Experience was beautiful. All very smooth. The support team was very prompt and more so available all through the day.
My husband and I visited Chorao Isands through Make It Happen. Our storyteller was Swynne. We had also done Divar Island with her. The experience was beautiful and the storyteller is what makes it or breaks. She was so kind and patient. Her narration was what really made all the difference. We do truly believe that it her who made the experience so memorable and such a delight.
