Elephanta Caves Tours and Tickets

Daivat was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly! The tour was on time and just need to make sure to plan any tours with plenty of time as the boats only leave when full! So far this has been the best tour in Mumbai!! Super recommend! Went solo and felt very safe!

Our guide Sahil and driver Sam were good company and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Mumbai from them and they kept us entertained. At Elephanta caves we had another local guide who gave us detailed information about the carvings . Overall our experience was very good and I highly recommend the two for Mumbai trips. Great job!👍

Great trip. Well organised and reassuring to get texts straight after booking - made arrangements very clear and gave good advice about travel time and potential for rain. Local island guide met the group on time - pickup point easy to find. Crowded getting to boat and busy on the other side but boat trip peaceful and enjoyable. A 10-20 minute walk up steps to reach Elephanta (30 degrees!) but a large part in shade as all the stall holders along the steps have it covered and not too steep.. But you do need to have a basic level of fitness to do this. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Caves and sculptures out of the rock are awesome, some badly damaged but some not. And wonderful to be up there with views over the island. Guide was very informative and no rushing - plenty of time to wander.

India is a third world country so industrial smog is the norm here. Visibility is down to a few miles/Klm so views of the city are close up. We met the Guide at the gates to the Port and travelled in a lovely air-condition car to see the spice markets, washing sect industry, parks and historical buildings from the British, Portuguese and even the Mongal era. One has to get used to the sea of humanity and the open rubbish dumps. But if you can see past that you get a sense of what it could be in a few years. Our guide steered us through a throng of people traveling to Elefanta Island. Still don't know how he managed that. We took a ferry ride about an hour to get there which was nice. Word of warning here! Go to toilet before you go as you will not like what you find on the island. One needs to start training for a marathon for this treck it is not for the faint hearted. Cute train ride to the base of the mountain. Then 130 steps to the cave. Was it worth it? I would say yes if you are fit enough. We had an excellent guide who protected us when needed and was full of information. Our driver was amazingly skillful in traffic and always appeared when and where we needed him. Happy to recommended both

A very enjoyable tour of the island and caves with a knowledgable guide with extensive photography skills to help capture the moment. Highly recommend visiting the island and caves if you have a half day to spare in Mumbai. The ferry trip provides great views of the city and is a lovely way to get around.

The organisation of the trip was fantastic! Our guide (Sam) was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! The caves were really interesting - it has been one of our favourite tours so far! I would highly recommend Linda Tours Mumbai!

Loved learning about Hindu dirties and seeing the gorgeous statuary/caves and Taj Hotel. Ferry ride out—1 hr each way—is a bit of a haul.

Skipped the lines with a wonderful guide who then transferred us to another guide who was born in Elephanta and knew all the history. He also took some amazing photos of the family, braving the crowds.
