Sunset cruise is a popular activity in Goa. Most tourists would go to the government jetty of the Mandovi River at Panaji and buy their tickets for a cruise. Such tours are operated by both the Goa Tourism Department and private operators. There are 1 and 2 hour cruises on the river with folk music, dances and dinner. You will also find a longer cruise that goes deeper into the river and even the sea.
There is also a cruise on the Zuari River where you can see crocodiles, bats, and plenty of unique bird species. In South Goa, you will find a cruise on the beautiful Sal River as well near the Cavelossim Beach. Sunset cruises on the Zuari and the Sal are not as popular as the Mandovi but they can be equally fulfilling experiences. Panaji is the capital of Goa and naturally more tourists go there. Zuari runs next to the city of Vasco, while Sal is in the extreme south.
