Islands & Beaches
Beach Tours in India
Balmy weather, a warm ocean, and ace seafood—that’s what beach vacations in India are made of. All along its long coastline, peninsular India hosts a variety of beaches, some rich in history, culture, and local hospitality, others serving up water sports like windsurfing and kite-surfing.
In a country of over a billion you don’t expect to find crystal-clear waters and unspoiled beaches, but they do exist. As do tropical fish in vivid colors, and coral gardens; and tranquility you’ve only heard of before. Admittedly there is also plenty of chaff on the Indian beach scene, but with Enchanting Travels experts guiding you, you’re guaranteed the right spot, and a perfect balance of serenity and rocking good times.
About 850 miles off the coast of mainland India, in the Andaman Sea, are the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Set yourself up at Havelock and curl up with a great book and an even greater view, or go snorkeling in the day and kayaking at night.
Among the palm groves and rice fields of Goa, are five-star resorts, boutique hotels in Portuguese-style homes, and a vibrant party scene. The food in Goa, like its hospitality, has a reputation that extends far beyond its borders. Ditto for Kerala, a little further south. Beach vacations in Kerala come with the ancient healing traditions of Ayurveda, and yoga sessions overlooking a clear horizon. On that long-dreamed of trip to India, tag on a few days at the sea shore, you’ll find it’s the perfect way to contemplate the colorful and intense India tour you’ve just completed.

“Our trip to southern India was customized for us by Enchanting Travels based on suggested itineraries from their website. The two of us spent 22 days with 2 different drivers, the first in Karnataka and the second in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They were excellent drivers and the SUV was always spotless. They also spoke reasonably good English so we were able to learn about the areas we were driving through and the Indian culture. The local coordinator was available by What’s App and frequently checked in with us to see how the trip was going. She also changed our internal flights on short notice and had someone meet us at the airport with our boarding passes! We really felt we were never alone. We are totally spoiled now that we have travelled with Enchanting Travels and will definitely travel with them again! This is a first class organization!”

“My husband and I recently returned from a 3 week customized and private vacation in Southern India and Sri Lanka put together by Enchanting Travels. This is our second trip with Enchanting Travels and once again this experience exceeded our expectations. Anita Sahi was a joy to work with, she really listened to what we wanted our trip to look like and helped us plan activities, tours, hikes, and special places to visit. We chose what hotels we wanted and she recommended excellent accommodations to choose from. Once we were in India, our trip manager Sugufta Sumbul worked closely with us to ensure everything was going as planned. We stayed in contact with her through WhatsApp and any question nor concerns we had she was on top of it. All our drivers and guides were excellent with good knowledge and good English skills. A special shout out to our driver/guide Numal in Sri Lanka. We felt like we were traveling with a good friend. He really shared his knowledge of his beautiful country, answering all our questions, taking us to his favorite spots and recommending food and handicraft shops. We wished we had more time in Sri Lanka. We would highly recommend Enchanting Travels. They made the trip so enjoyable and most of all stress free, which is priceless. ”

“This trip was my gift to my wife for her birthday. I had traveled to India numerous times for business and wanted her to see this interesting and beautiful land. This was our 7th trip with Enchanting and I knew they would put together a journey that would explore the most important sights in the time which we allowed. We spent 2 weeks in the North of India and 2 weeks in the South. I was hesitant to do some much traveling by car but India has really improved their highways and the car trips where enjoyable. Our drivers were excellent. They knew the lay of the land and how to navigate the hectic Indian traffic. I am a retired international airline pilot and I will tell you that the hotels we stayed in are some of the finest in the world.”

The guides are always very knowledgable, helpful and kind. The drivers are always very prompt and courteous. The trip coordinators are in constant contact for any needs or concerns throughout the journey. I always answer the survey after our trips and know that Enchanting takes the answers very seriously. Thanks to the staff at Enchanting for many happy memories!”
