Whole the tour was amazing at very cheap price. Miramar beach boat riding and dolfin seeing was amazing and adventurous . Lord mangesh temple and shopping around the place was very good. Guide in the bus was a very nice person .He arranged everything during the tour for convenience of tourist with him. Cruise ride in mandavi river was so amazing.
Amazing Experience. Value for money package. I would like to give additional points to the supportive and very co-operative crew on the boat and the diving instructors. Although the start of the journey was late on schedule the crew picked up on the time later. The quality of underwater cams used for clicking pics and shooting video is fantastic.
One from the bucket list !!
Scuba was always in my bucket list and finally, the wish came true! I am so glad that I got connected with Team Thrillophia. I was visiting Goa for the first time and so does this coordination for Scuba Diving. The whole journey was made so comfortable by the team, it is truly applaudable. Be it the pick-n-drop or providing guidelines or having fun with the crea and other riders, everything was impeccable!!
Thrillophia is quintessential for those who love adventures !!
"it's awesome experience with thrillophilia"
One of the best experiences ever.
We were a group of 5 people, and honestly after reading a few negative reviews, I was really confused whether or not, I should book the activity but I am so happy I booked it.
The trip started with a light breakfast and we were soon taken to the Island, where we could swim, have fun until our turn arrives for the activity. The scuba instructor was amazing. I am also an amateur in swimming but they made sure it is a seamless experience for me.
There was an amazing lunch with unlimited beers(if you are a fan).
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it.
Now, I am considering to keep booking my trips through Thrillophilia.
Fun experience, exciting and thrilled. Just one drawback... No Jain food was provided and contacting the relevant persons is not easy.
Positives-
1. Great Day with all water sports and Scuba dive activities...
2. Safe for kids and adults
3. Super boat ride to Grande Island and Scuba experience was awesome.
Drawbacks -
1. Scuba timing was limited to nearly 5-7 mins so that's the major setback
2. We got delayed lunch at 5pm
3. We had to wait for additional 30mins for getting scuba video
But overall had a good experience with good snacks, quality lunch and other activities
Hands down, an adventure to remember! If you come to goa, this package is something you should definitely consider. It was such a phenomenal experience, our hearts were full after witnessing the underwater!
Also, it was so heartwarming thing to see, the trainers being so patient with the people, they'll teach you and give you time to practice breathing from your mouth underwater. They'll guide you throughout the time even when in underwater. So from safety perspective, you're stress free. And, the scene underwater is a TREAT!
PS: They also give you your underwater video, and a lunch in the boat by the breathtaking sunset!
