I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your excellent management of our 27th anniversary reunion trip to Goa. The entire experience, from trekking to the waterfall, fishing, BBQ dinner, accommodation, transport, and dining, was absolutely fantastic, and we all had an amazing time.

Your impeccable planning and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the trip. The trek to the waterfall was exhilarating, and it allowed us to reconnect with nature and appreciate the beauty of Goa. The fishing experience was equally enjoyable, filled with excitement and laughter as we cast our lines and reeled in our catches.

The BBQ dinner at Calamari was exceptional. The mouthwatering food, cozy ambiance, and joyous company made for a truly remarkable evening. We savored delicious grilled delicacies while reminiscing about old memories and creating new ones. It was a delightful experience that brought us all closer together as we danced to the music

Additionally, the choice of accommodation was good. The facilities were comfortable, clean, and provided the perfect respite after our adventurous days, especially the swimming pool. The transportation arrangements were seamless, ensuring that we could easily explore different parts of Goa without any hassle. And, of course, the delightful dining experiences throughout our trip left us satisfied and eager to taste more of the local cuisine.

Your dedication to making our anniversary reunion trip unforgettable is truly commendable. Your expertise and hard work made it a stress-free experience for all of us. We appreciate your efforts in ensuring that every aspect of the trip was well-planned and executed flawlessly.

Once again, thank you, Ravi and Bhushan, for organizing such a fantastic trip. It exceeded all our expectations, and we are filled with wonderful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Your contribution made our 27th anniversary reunion truly memorable, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

Santana Beach Resort is a great choice for families, couples, and groups looking for a relaxing and affordable vacation in Goa. The resort is located right on the beach, close to restaurants and bars, and has a nice pool and helpful staff.

My friends and I went on a fishing trip with Active India and had a great time! The fishing equipment, boat, and staff were all top-notch. We patiently waited for the fish to bite, and in the end we were able to catch 3 fish and a crab. As a bonus, we also got to see a pod of dolphins swimming nearby. The sea was calm and the weather was perfect for fishing. Overall, we had a great time on our fishing trip and would definitely recommend to others

Trekking to the Tambdi Surla Temple and Waterfall with guide Sameer was a fun and energetic experience. The route was challenging enough for a moderately fit person, and the views along the way were stunning. Bathing in the stream of water at the waterfall was a refreshing way to cool off after the hike. Sameer was a knowledgeable and helpful guide. He shared interesting facts about the temple and waterfall, and he made sure that everyone in the group was safe and comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an adventurous and rewarding experience in Goa.
