About Tour
Across the bay from Mumbai lies Elephanta Island, where you can explore a labyrinth of caves, temples, and shrines on a half-day tour with your own private guide. Enjoy a short cruise to the enthralling site as you discover some of the most impressive temples and shrines in the whole of India.
Board your boat at the impressive Gateway of India, the stone archway overlooking the Arabian Sea. Admire the city and surrounding region from a fresh angle as you glide across the water.
As you walk into the heart of the island, the great temples reveal themselves. Most impressive of all is the one dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Wander through the maze of courtyards and shrines and marvel at the centerpiece, a giant bust dedicated to the famous deity.
Continue walking across the site with your knowledgeable guide, and listen to the informative cultural and historical context they provide. See caves that have been hewn from the basalt rock, with enchanting Buddhist architecture and the remains of curious artwork on the walls.

This is a "do not miss" experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot say enough positive things about my guide. He was so knowledgeable and hospitable...he made the trip a great experience.

This week we have visited Mumbai. Our Elephant Island followed by a city tour couldn’t have been better. Kheersana our guide is one of the best guides we have had. Wonderful local knowledge followed by a fabulous sense of humour and gentleness. We highly recommend it all.
