Navora · Since 2018
We grew up on this Landscape
Navora began as three people with one folding table at Panjim Jetty: a deckhand, a trek guide and someone who was very good at answering the phone. We sold cruise tickets for boats we already worked on, because tourists kept getting sold the wrong sailing at the wrong price.
Eight seasons later we run nine cruises on the Mandovi, four charter yachts out of Britona and Mormugao, the Dudhsagar jeep-and-trek day, water sports at Calangute and Baga, and a corporate desk that has planned offsites for teams of four hundred. The folding table is still in the office. It has a plant on it now.
How we work
We only sell what we've sailed
Every cruise, jeep and villa on this site has been used by a Navora team member in the last season. If a boat drops its standards, it comes off the list — that's happened three times.
One human, start to finish
The person who answers your first WhatsApp message stays on your booking until you're home. No ticket numbers, no handover to a call centre.
Honest pricing
Jetty fees, permits and taxes are quoted upfront. We'd rather lose a booking to a cheaper quote than surprise you at the boarding gate.
Local first
Our jeep drivers, guides and shack partners are Goan families we've worked with for years. Peak-season rates go to them, not to an aggregator.
The short timeline
Frequently asked questions
How do I book, and do I pay upfront?
Send an enquiry from any page or message us on WhatsApp at +91 78601 56369. We check live availability, confirm the slot and only then ask for payment — usually a part advance, balance on the day.
How quickly do you reply?
Every enquiry lands with a real person on our desk, 8am to 10pm IST, every day. Most replies go out within minutes; anything after 10pm is answered first thing next morning.
What if the weather cancels my cruise or trek?
If the operator or the forest department cancels for weather or safety, we move you to the next available slot at no cost, or refund the full amount if you're flying out.
Do you arrange pickup from my hotel?
Yes. Share your hotel name when you enquire and we'll add a cab for the round trip — North Goa, South Goa and airport transfers included.
Are the activities safe for children and non-swimmers?
Cruises and most water sports are fine for both — life jackets are provided and our scuba and sea-walk partners take non-swimmers daily. The Dudhsagar trek needs reasonable fitness and proper shoes.
Can you plan a full Goa itinerary or a corporate offsite?
That's most of what we do. Tell us your dates, headcount and budget and we'll come back with a day-by-day plan covering stays, transfers, cruises and activities.
