Overview
Step beyond Mumbai’s touristy circuits and discover Alibaug; an untold coastal island hidden in plain sight.
Set sail across the Arabian Sea on a comfortable Ro-Pax ferry, leaving the city behind and soaking in the sea breeze. Wander through the quiet Portuguese village of Korlai, step into the centuries-old lanes of Chaul, and meet families who’ve lived here for generations.
Enjoy a farm-to-table coastal lunch in a traditional home, savoring freshly prepared local flavors, sip chai with villagers, and hear stories you won’t find in any guidebook.
This is Alibaug, far from Mumbai’s touristy trails; an honest slice of coastal life that most visitors never experience. A day shaped by history, culture, human connection, and the gentle rhythm of the sea.
