Private Elephanta Caves UNESCO World Heritage Site Tour

Great Day Trip to Elephanta Caves.

This has a 5/5 because I had an excellent day being shown around the Caves by the guide. I was picked up and dropped off on time. The cave guide had fantastic knowledge and took some amazing photos of me.

OK if nothing else to do…

The boat ride out takes about an hour and a half (depends on tides and weather) and, of course, the same back. You need about an hour at the caves, but no longer. The caves are interesting, but not stunning. Historical and well-carved, but is this really a UNESCO world heritage site? They are well explained, but basically there are seven set-piece forms of Lord Shiva - most of which were damaged long ago by Portuguese soldiers. We slept on the way back. If you have ~4 hours to kill, then why not - it is quite relaxing on the boat - but you may be left wondering if it was worth the time.

A must when in Mumbai

This was well worth the visit. The ferry ride takes about 40 mins and then a train ride followed by an uphill walk to the caves. I had people carry me up there. Caves were amazing and the guide was so good and helped with taking pics.

Exploring Mumbai with Rahul

Thanks to our tour guide Rahul we had an amazing experience in Elephanta caves. Everything went smoothly . We didn’t have to wait in the lines because his team had already bought the tickets for us. The guide in the caves was very knowledgeable and told us about that unique place in a very interesting way. Even my kids said it had been interesting even though they generally don’t like travelling. Apart from the Elephanta caves, Rahul managed to show us all parts of Mumbai, from the most beautiful British buildings to the Dharavi slums and Dhobi Ghat. I’m looking forward to coming back to Mumbai and exploring more of it with Rahul.

Relaxing escape!

I loved this tour and my guide Hardik. He was very knowledgeable, punctual and professional. He had great energy and I felt relaxed with him at the helm. He made sure to take care of all my needs and answered all my questions. This is a great tour to escape the chaos of Mumbai and see some beautiful nature and history. I would definitely use this company again.

Elephanta Caves Tour

Our tour guide, Rahul set us up with the best tour of the Elephanta Caves! This was most certainly a highlight of my 3 week trip in Inida. The history and architecture found here are beautiful, the pictures were amazing! There's a really cool market with local artwork and high quality hand made products. A must-see. Enjoy!

Experience Mumbai with Locals

Rahul hooked my friend and I up with a local guide living on the Elephanta Caves island to give an intimate tour of the caves and their history. Hearing it from the perspective of a local who'd lived there his entire life elevated the experience to a whole new level and really delivered great value. We enjoyed the trip and recommended it to other friends and family immediately. 5/5 experience and would definitely encourage others to do the same. Rahul also hosts other tours throughout Mumbai which we thoroughly enjoyed, including the Bollywood Studio tour and a visit to the local slums where his family grew up.

Such a beautiful experience

The entire tour was really cool from the beginning to the end. Both guides show me the best of this tour. At elephant cave, the guy shows me how beautiful and unique that island is. Divya,instead, show me the best part of the Slum. How they work hard,how they live, how beautiful that part of the city is, and what they have to offer. I tried something that I had never tried before. Something special. Truly raccomanded

Excellent

Really enjoyed our tour. We were picked up from our specified location, taken to the Gate of India where the tour guide was waiting. Our guide took care of everything. After getting to the island our guide showed us all the sculptures, explained in details their history, cultural and religious meaning. The place is clean and very well developed for tourists. There are many stalls with souvenirs and food

Great Tour!

Excellent tour of local business within the area from very informative guides, highly recommend way to see an important part of the city

A must-do tour to Elephanta caves

We had such a wonderful experience going to Elephanta with the excellent guidance of Divya who showed us sited on the way to the island and shared interesting stories about life in Mumbai. On the island we had another very knowledgeable guide who showed the amazing caves and explained the meaning of the artworks, I can highly recommend this tour.

Young Tours exceeds expectations

Over the course of one week we took three tours with Young Tours and Travel. All three were great fun and very informative. Our guide for all three was Rahul and he was awesome!

Breathtaking views!

This was one of my most memorable experience in my life because I met some beautiful monkeys and stayed so near them I felt wonderful! The panoramic views here are breathtaking! I took a lot of photos. Great experience. I would love to have nearby such a wonderful place where to go and meditate. 🙏

Nature and beeing grateful

Such a great place. Relaxing in the nature, seeing monkeys everywhere, listening the birds, great day we had :) Thank you, Rahul!

Excellent tours and knowledgeable guides

We had a wonderful day with the tour guide. Sameer was very helpful and explained all the details about various tourist spots so well. The guide at Elephanta Caves was amazing too. He explained our daughter the details about the cave which she found interesting. Overall it was a pleasant experience. The transportation provided for the Mumbai excursion was very comfortable. We had a great experience.

A new and fascinating experience

A very eye opening experience that has helped me to be grateful for what I have. A tour led excellently!

Fun Trip....

It was a great experian with friends and teachers. I gain lots of knowledge ....we saw a historical coins and statue..

Excursion to Elephanta Island

A great excursion if you are tired of the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. You find yourself in a calm environment and can immerse yourself in the local culture. Of the three caves, in fact, only one, the largest, has interesting sculptures. The guide Samir is excellent, he talks interestingly about religion and the peculiarities of life on the island (he is a local himself). There are no elephants on the island, but there are monkeys. You have to be careful with them.

Elephanta

We were picked up from the hotel at 8:30 am and taken to the ferry to Elephanta Island. The guide Samir met us on the island. He turned out to be a resident of this island, so he talked in the most interesting way about how life works there and about historical sights - the Elephanta Caves. We learned a lot of new things about Hinduism. Thanks to Samir for the interesting excursion and support, and to Rahul for organizing the tour!
