We went on an early morning bird spotting trip with these guys and they were fab, we had Our three kids (10,7,4) and while the attention span of the youngest leaves room for improvement (!) the two older boys loved it and really enjoyed spotting birds and seeing how the mangroves grow. The guides have exceptional knowledge and a real passion and that is contagious. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend both this and the organisation generally.

I went on the River Boat excursion with Khojaao and it was one of the most beautiful afternoons I’ve ever experienced in Goa. Pooja and Bipin are both incredibly knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and wildlife of Goa, pointing out different species of birds, sharing fascinating tidbits about the mangrove forests, (they were quick to point out a crocodile that was camouflaged in the mangroves - an incredible sight). On the boat they laid out a delicious spread of homemade snacks / local Goan delicacies for us, sourced from local bakeries and served up with the most delicious ice cold lemonade (homemade by them). The afternoon ended with a spectacularly golden sunset that we were quite literally sailing straight into.

I’ve done a few expeditions now with Khojaao, the experiences are intimate and thoughtfully curated, with attention paid to the little details - which is what makes them so memorable. Pooja and Bipin are wonderfully warm and welcoming, and make the entire experience that much more enjoyable with their genuine passion for wildlife and conservation. Already excited for the next one

We did a Day in the Forest and a Backyard Nature Trail with Khoj-Aao, and both experiences were excellent! For the Day in the Forest we were near Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary. We left at around 10 am and were inside the forest all day, reaching back at around 5 pm. The scenery and the rivers were absolutely indescribable. Our surroundings were lush green, and the streams were a sparkling turquoise colour. We swam in a freshwater pool underneath a waterfall for hours, something I'll never forget. Our Backyard Nature Trail in Assagao was also wonderful. The thought that Khoj-Aao has put into these experiences is clear the moment you interact with their team members. I would recommend their packages to anyone who wants to see the more unexplored sides of Goa.

Enjoyable sunset river boat cruise up the Chapora river, with enthusiastic , knowledgeable and friendly guide, Pooja. Saw many birds, flying fish and mangroves. Were able to get off and walk on sandbank to watch the bubbler sand crabs create patterns in the sand.

Hiking with khoj aao is an amazing way to learn about the unique microclimates and flora and fauna of Goa. We were a group of kids to adults and Vipin had something for everybody. Since we had kids from 3 years old to 9years old we opted for a nature walk in North Goa—and it was 2.5 hours well spent and organized. Maybe when the kids are older we will join Vipin and Pooja for a longer hike.

Khoj-aao Adventures is the best way to explore Goa! We connected with them for guidance on tourist Ing in Goa for the first time with our four children ages 3, 5, 7, and 9. They took the time to understand us and our needs, and helped us design a meaningful and balanced trip. Per their recommendations, we spent 5 days on North Goa’s backwaters and then 5 days on the beaches of south Goa. While in North Goa, we went on two guided tours. They were extremely knowledgeable of the natural habitat and local community. It was fascinating to learn, and as if that wasn’t enough, they were extremely engaging and patient with our children (who were, at times, tired travelers). I am so glad that they are there promote sustainable ecotourism.

Pooja and Bipin opened our eyes to a world that we would have very easily missed if we had gone on a trek on our own. Their deep knowledge and understanding of the environs, the birds, flowers, trees, insects, animals and the topography blew us away. They also arranged binoculars, magnifying glass and ponchos for us. Their deep love for nature is infectious and anyone looking to understand the nature and bounties of Goa should definitely get them on board.

What an amazing time we had on our daughter's 11th bday celebration..all thanks to the Khoj-aao team (Pooja, Bipin, and Madi)...each and every experience was woven so nicely with the theme of the forest treasure hunt with a group of 10 explorers...right from the delicious local food to showing the children interesting creatures and things on the way and not to forget the very engaging games that were planned. Thanks a lot Khoj-aao team for curating such beautiful experience for us - you made Aadhira's birthday truly memorable 🙂
