The slow, quaint life on the river islands are worth exploring, as one gets under the skin of what is essentially a unique Goan experience.
“Tucked away in the quaint streets of Moira and by the Moira river, the hosts Vivek and Alka have created a serene and beautiful paradise. Perhaps the best part about this homestay is that it is by the river. One must indulge himself to the memorable evenings at Fishtail Creek - exchanging stories from journeys across the world while sipping Fishtail special cocktails prepared by Vivek and submitting to the hidden charms of the Moira creek.”
