This is for people coming for this trip 1] Come prepared in swim / water wear (Avoid Jeans and fancy dresses) 2] Bring as minimal gadgets and luggage as possible (as there is chances of water splash / dorpping off in water) 3] Come with a few anti-emetic tablets if you have motion sickness / allergic to salt water 4] Wear the cheapest foot wear as they will collect it before getting into the boat and will return it only at the end 5] Come with least expectations so whatever little you get will be enjoyable I had fun coz my expectations were zero. Scuba is the best though it takes time to get used to underwater breathing. All the 5 rides / activities were very short and done for the sake of completing the task and to tick the box. But if you wish to shell out extra money after experimenting them, you will get good rides and better experience, like I did. Food and snacks were half decent, wont complain as I expect very less in terms of taste. Return ride in boat was fun as well coz of moderately high tides and cutting across them in the boat is an experience to remember. Feeding seagulls while they fly and catch the food on the flight is also nice time pass. Safety first, never remove the life jacket. Wish a good experience.

We had great time and had fun while playing water sports and scuba. Staff on the boat were quite friendly and supportive however initially we faced coordination issues after transfer as many of were left behind without any information or briefing and had no idea whom to reach out there but it was resolved later on.

We had a very good experience in this trip. We started from Candolim and ferried till Baina beach for water sports and further to Grand Island for scuba diving. All the instructors were very good and co-operative especially in scuba diving. Only one suggestion is that the long ride inside the sea caused some sea sickness, so it would be great if they could provide us with some sea sickness kit for emergencies. But otherwise, this trip is totally recommended for sea sport enthusiasts.

One of the best experiences ever. We were a group of 5 people, and honestly after reading a few negative reviews, I was really confused whether or not, I should book the activity but I am so happy I booked it. The trip started with a light breakfast and we were soon taken to the Island, where we could swim, have fun until our turn arrives for the activity. The scuba instructor was amazing. I am also an amateur in swimming but they made sure it is a seamless experience for me. There was an amazing lunch with unlimited beers(if you are a fan). I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it. Now, I am considering to keep booking my trips through Thrillophilia.

It was a great experience and a day well spent. Perfect for friends and family. Everything stated in the packages were delivered. But the timing of the actual events was very less than promised and that kinda ruins the 5 star rating. If they could deliver the 10-15 min scuba diving, it would be a perfect 5-star. Nevertheless, it was pleasant experience and I would definitely give this a try the next time.
