A river cruise on the Mandovi is a popular evening activity in Goa, offering a unique perspective of the state's capital, Panjim. These cruises, typically lasting one to two hours, depart from jetties near the Mandovi Bridge. As the boat moves along the water, you get clear views of the city's waterfront, including the historic Adil Shah's Palace, the bustling floating casinos, and the impressive Atal Setu bridge. The atmosphere onboard is generally lively and festive, geared towards tourists looking for entertainment.
