Goa Tour Packages from GoldBox Holidays are built for easy beach holidays on the Konkan coast. Goa is India's smallest state by area, and it packs in golden beaches, whitewashed churches from Portuguese times, river cruises and relaxed seafood shacks. North Goa has the livelier beaches, markets and night life. South Goa is calmer, with long open stretches of sand. This category has eight packages: one and two-day sightseeing tours that start inside Goa, a 3-day stay, bus trips from Bangalore, a Jog Falls-Gokarna-Goa combo, and a 4-day flight tour from Hyderabad.

Places you will visit
North Goa tours usually stop at Calangute, Baga, Anjuna and Vagator beaches and at Fort Aguada. In Old Goa, the Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral belong to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Panaji has the colourful Latin quarter of Fontainhas and evening boat cruises on the Mandovi river. South Goa brings Colva and Benaulim beaches, and some tours add the Mangueshi temple in Ponda. The Bangalore combo trip also visits Jog Falls on the Sharavathi river and the temple town of Gokarna. More places are listed in our Goa travel guide.
Best time to go
November to February is peak season, with calm seas and dry, pleasant days. Christmas and New Year are the busiest weeks, and hotel rates rise sharply then. March to May is hot and humid but less crowded. The monsoon, June to September, turns Goa green, but the sea is rough and most water sports pause.
How to choose the right package
If you are already in Goa, a day tour saves you from renting a scooter or bargaining with taxis. From Bangalore, the bus packages usually travel overnight, so you arrive ready for the beach. Choose four days if you want both North and South Goa without rushing. From Hyderabad, the flight package cuts out a long road journey, which helps families with children or elders. Nature lovers should look at the Jog Falls-Gokarna combo, best in and just after the rains. For more coastal and hill trips in the region, see our Karnataka Tour Packages.
