Elephanta Caves: Island Tour with a Local Guide

Elephantine Island Tour

What a great day I had today on tour. I was picked up promptly at my hotel by Lucas and taking to the port accompanied by Abhishek. Both Lucas and Abhishek are so knowledgeable and not only helped me learn more about the experience I was going to partake in at the island but gave me many interesting facts along the way to the port. Once on the island we met our guide who is a local who has lived on the island all his life and whose family goes back 4 generations! What a treat! It was a great experience which I highly recommend all take part in when in the area.

Refund

Unfortunately I couldn't make the tour due to sickness. When I informed the guide they gladly advised that they would refund my fee. This is truly amazing and made my day. I am so gutted that I couldn't make the tour. Such kindness doesn't happen everyday. I'm sure this tour would have been truly magical. Thanks for the refund it is greatly appreciated.

Must try!!

The entire process from the booking to returning to the hotel was fantastic. Chirag was patient with my needs and ensured that I did not miss out on the last slot of the day despite me booking it late. I had opted for a pickup and drop service as well. Shoeb was my driver and he was fantastic. Nikhil, my tour guide was fantastic. He was highly knowledgeable about the caves and had a unique perspective as he was a local. He answered the questions I had well and guided the tour well. Overall, a fantastic experience and a must try one.

Well Worth A Visit

The tour was excellent. The guide's in depth knowledge of the caves made for an even more enjoyable trip. Highly recommended.

interesting tour and learned everything about all the gods and their stories.

We had a very interesting tour and learned everything about the Shiva, Parvati Tryambaka, Mahakala, Nilakantha, Gangadara, Nataraja, Ardhanarishvar and many more gods and their stories.

Great tour with great service, everything as agreed.

Picked up on time at the hotel and on the way to the port I got a lot of information about Mumbai and its inhabitants. At the port, which is next to the Indian Gate, we took a local ferry to Elephant Island. The trip takes about 40-50 minutes and you can take photos of the overseas port and the skyline. On the island I was led to the caves by a Lokem guide. There are a total of 120 steps and you should wear sturdy shoes. The tour lasted 1.5 hours and I was taught a lot about the cave and its significance. Afterwards you can buy some souvenirs, but you don't have to. Back at the port we go back to the Indian Gate. At the end you are taken back to the hotel. I had a lot of fun and felt well entertained. Thank you very much.
