The Boat Cruise his is an hour long cruise
which takes guests out on a leisurely sail down the River
Mandovi from the Santa Monica jetty in Panaji. While the vessel
sails serenely down the river past the beautiful Adil Shah
Palace that was once the first building in Panjim City. This
was the summer palace of the Sultan which was then used by
the Viceroy of Portugal and finally by the government of Goa
as its Secretariat. Now that a new Secretariat is in use on
Porvorim Hill across the river Mandovi, the Adil Shah Palace
will be turned into a cultural centre with art galleries and
concert halls, etc.
While you sail down the river local boys and girls treat you
to some Goa's best known folk dances, the dekhniand the fugdi.
They sing mandos and finally give over centre stage to live
musicians or a DJ and the guest can then sing and dance and
generally make merry. This cruise is a huge success with people
of all ages, men, women and children.
The Cruise then takes you past the Panjim riverfront past
the jetty and old colonial buildings on past the Promenade
with its lovely tree lined avenues past Miramar where you
sit and watch one of Goa's spectacular sunsets. You can see
the spread of the Mormugao Port and the mass of the Aguada
Fort and as the shadows lengthen you find yourself transported
back in history to the time when all visitors who landed on
these shores loved Goa so much they wanted to possess her.
