A beautiful place and a must visit when in Goa! I just hope and wish the island doesn't get crowded and turn out to be a menace for the locals. Everything about this place wants me to go back to Goa. The fritters and urrak are a must try here!

Good place to watch sunsets. It's peaceful. Keep the place clean if you are going.
Calm and peaceful side of Goa… the ferry experience is good the island 🏝️ Right now,a few dining options are available to eat at.
Nice island in Goa, on the Mandovi river. Nice spots for the sunset, Accessible via ferry
A Cultural and Historically rich island on the Mandovi river and still not ruined by the invasion of tourists. The paddy fields and the key villages are absolutely stunning. I was there just after Christmas and all the houses (old Portuguese styled cottages) and the beautiful Churches were in its glory with a fresh coat of paint. For travelers who are looking at a quiet, off beat Goa, this Island (along with Chorao Island) is a must. I would go one step forward and suggest that post taking the short ferry ride, one should park their cars and bicycle around the Island. Riding through the paddy fields and quaint villages is a surreal experience especially after an aftermath of boisterous North Goa. The main village is Piedade and it’s a beautiful small village with lovely houses and churches. At the northern tip of the Island is the luxe 5-star property of the Mercure group. Apart from that, there is only one restaurant and its called Rock Inn. It’s carved into a rock face and a few steps down the road takes you into this restaurant. A father son duo runs this joint and I sure would suggest that one requests the dad for this home-made Masala Feni (of course for Feni lovers). Its great and do add in a slit green chilli for added enjoyment! The food is nothing to write home about, strictly alright and a word of caution, they do not accept credit cards or UPI (as of Dec ’25), so carry cash! The short Ferry ride costs a princely sum of Rs 10 when travelling with your car from Old Goa to Divar and Rs 7 when crossing over into the Mapusa side. These rates are as of Dec 2025 for two adults and a small compact car.
