Vår guide var fantastisk!...

Zachary_M, apr. 2024

Vår guide var fantastisk! Superlätt att träffa och komma på färjan. Grottorna var fantastiska och det var väldigt trevligt att ha någon som förklarade historien och konstruktionen

Underbar

Ashanti_C, mars 2024

Vandringen uppför kullen var värt det att se så vackra konstverk. Kom bara ihåg att ta med iskallt vatten.

Vår reseguide var verkligen...

Mychelle_B, jan. 2024

Vår reseguide var riktigt bra, mycket vänlig och informativ! Ön är vacker och har mycket historia

Intressant och bra för en halv dag.

Stephen_C, dec. 2023

Guiden var mycket informativ, och vi tillbringade ungefär rätt tid i grottorna. De var inte så spektakulära som jag hade föreställt mig, men värda ett kort besök.

Värt besväret. Jag kommer alltid att minnas denna resa

Karen_B, nov. 2023

Jättebra resa. Välorganiserat och betryggande att få sms direkt efter bokning - gjorde arrangemangen mycket tydlig och gav goda råd om restid och potential för regn. Lokal öguide träffade gruppen i tid - upphämtningsställe lätt att hitta. Trångt att ta sig till båten och upptagen på andra sidan men båtturen lugn och trevlig. En 10 - 20 minuters promenad uppför trappan för att nå Elephanta (30 grader!) men en stor del i skugga eftersom alla stallhållare längs trappan har det täckt och inte för brant. . Men du behöver ha en grundläggande konditionsnivå för att göra detta. Var det värt det? Absolut. Grottor och skulpturer från berget är fantastiska, några svårt skadade men andra inte. Och underbart att vara där uppe med utsikt över ön. Guiden var mycket informativ och ingen rusning - gott om tid att vandra.

Utmärkt turné

yasmin_g, okt. 2023

Daivat var helt fantastiskt! Mycket kunnig och vänlig! Turnén var i tid och behöver bara se till att planera alla turer med gott om tid eftersom båtarna bara går när de är fulla! Hittills har detta varit den bästa turnén i Mumbai! ! Superrekommenderar! Gick solo och kände mig väldigt säker!

Elephantagrottorna

Luis_C, nov. 2022

Ensamturen var exceptionell, Harish (lokal reseguide) gav mig inte en rundtur utan delade med mig en del av hans liv/religion som var ännu bättre. Verkligen en tillfredsställande upplevelse. Dinesh såg också till att jag hade sällskap hela tiden.

Easy Way to Visit Elephanta Island

Scott_G, maj 2024

Easy to find meeting place in front of the Pizza Express. Simple walk down past the Gateway to India and onto the ferry. The ferry ride takes about 1 hour out to the island. First guide hands you off smoothly to the island guide, who ha actually been born and grew up on the island. No one better to tell you about the place then. The climb up to the caves is a little taxing but there are plenty of opportunities to stop along the way. The cave itself is quite spectacular and to see the work that must have been done to carve it out of the solidest of rock is quite impressive. Watch out for the very cute monkeys that will attempt to take anything you are not hanging on to. The ferry back took a little over an hour as we seemed to be into a headwind. This tour makes the visit to Elephanta Island go very smoothly.

Well organised and managed value for money

Oliver_F, mars 2024

Great tour we were extremely well looked after by our excellent guide Krupesh. He was most informative and catered to our needs wonderfully. Just did not get the opportunity to say goodbye as our ferry left. Really recommend this trip

Great experience.

aubreybarker, mars 2024

It was a great experience. We took the ferry to the caves and our very knowledgeable tour guide ( Said at Vishnu Patil ) made it fun by explaining the story of everything to us and he was a local in the area just making it better.

An insightful view of centuries old history!

Lydia_H, mars 2024

What a fascinating tour of this UNESCO site! I ended up going on the busiest day of the year, Mahashivratri, but Daviat and Krupesh made sure we were able to navigate the crowds, stayed hydrated and gave excellent explanations of the carvings within the cave. That added to a delightful ferry ride back and forth, 10/10 recommend!

Worth the effort to visit.

Benjamin_R, mars 2024

Guide was born on the island which added some interest to the usual overload of Hindi stories and legends. Caves were a nice respite from the mid day sun. Good indirect lighting for photography.

Very Easy, Very Memorable

Peter_G, feb. 2024

Mr. Daivat was a great guide--not only knowledgeable about the specifics and the overall cultural/historical context, but also always watching out for everyone and making sure we were okay. He helped with all the small logistical issues every step of the way. The one caveat I'd make is that because the meeting time was not until 10:30 and we ate a (quick) lunch after the caves, this was not the half-day excursion you may see mentioned here and there, but fills up most of the day, so plan accordingly.

Elephanta caves worth a visit

Stephen_J, jan. 2024

Our tour guide David was born on the island and therefore his insight into the structure itself and his explanation of the various carvings and idols was facinating. Pity about the slow boat but definitely worth the visit. 120 years to complete starting from the top and working down in solid rock using hammer and chisels, incredible workmanship..

A tour worth doing

Anila_G, jan. 2024

Really good experience. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and didn't waste time. Really on point with everything and loved the short cut back against the high holiday traffic trying to leave the caves

A fantastic tour

Yutaka_N, dec. 2023

I joined this tour as solo. Although nine persons joined the tour totally. When we got on a ship and cross the Elepanta Island from the Gate of India Mumbai, we were excited because the scenery was good. On the ship on the way to the island during 1.5 hour, some persons bought snacks and fed to seagull. After we arrived at the island, we separated into two team with a tour guide. We went to walk on the railway track. It was not so long. After we went up stairs took about twenty minutes, we found a plate named 'World Heritage' with many people. The tour guide told overview and history of this place. He could answer anything when we asked questions. In the Caves, we found many Sculptures made of volcanic rock. These Sculptures shows Hindu gods. We found some destroid sculptures dameged by people who came here about five hundred ago. They should have saved everything because they have been created in this Caves during thousand years. We watched four Caves. The tour guide told some Caves are used for meditation. On the way back to the port in the island, we got on a train. We felt well with a cooling sea breeze. We recommend to join this tour.

Awesome

Emma_R, dec. 2023

The caves on Elephanta Island are a must see!!! They are truly spectacular. Probably the most impressive caves and carvings I've ever seen. Go early in the morning as the crowds start to build up around 11.00am. Our guide Samir was so great and so knowledgeable! AND he's something like 4th or 5th generation born and living on Elephanta Island. So I'm really glad he was our tour guide. It's a must see! Great half day tour. We left at 9.30am and I arrived back to my hotel at 2.30pm.

Local guide makes it more interesting

Relax39029408009, feb. 2019

This was a delightful trip with a native that grew up on Elephanta Island. Not only did Mr. Khan give us a tour of the main caves, he provided information on the boat ride over about the ships and islands on the way. After touring the caves, he invited us to visit his village and home. There are three villages with about 1600 people living on the island. We enjoyed being exposed to the local way of life. We then all shared a meal at a local restaurant before returning across the bay. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in getting to know the people of India.

Scott L, mars 2018

Certainly, the Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are amazing. The tour delivered as advertised. We party of 4 meet our guide at the rendezvous site at the appointed time. We were joined by 4 more folks the tour is limited to 8 people. Our guide led us through the Gateway of India to the ferry R/T included to Elephanta Island where we boarded a narrow gauge train to get from the very long pier to the entrance to the monument which is up 120 steps. Admission to the caves is not included as clearly stated in the tour description: 500 rupees per person. Our guide provided a detailed narration though the principal cave and the one immediately adjacent there are 9 total. Because of our time constraint, we left after about 75 minutes at the cave. It would have been possible to take the next ferry an hour later...this was our decision. All in all, a good value for the money 26/pp and you don't need to sweat the details yourself.

La visita alle grotte di Elephanta è certamente da raccomandare

Giuseppe_D, jan. 2019

La guida (abitante di Elephanta con la famiglia, originaria proprio di quest'isola) è andata oltre ogni aspettativa con le sue spiegazioni che andavano decisamente al di là delle più rosee aspettative. L'amore per la propria isola e per la sua storia ha voluto condividerlo con il nostro gruppo eterogeneo di sei persone con una grande naturalezza e con altrettanto amore, dandoci infinite spiegazioni sull'Induismo e sui vari ruoli e rappresentazioni della Trimurti. Da non perdere!
