About us
We got tired of showing people the same three beaches
Goa Unseen started because the best of this place is never where the crowd is standing.
Locals, not a call centre
Most people land in Goa, get handed the same itinerary everyone else got, and fly home having seen the version of it that fits on a billboard. Meanwhile there’s a waterfall an hour inland with nobody at it, a mud pool the villages have used for generations, and an island you can have to yourself on a Tuesday.
That’s what we run. Small groups — twelve to twenty on the longer trips — with a host who’s driven these roads a hundred times and knows which turning to take and when the light is right. Transport sorted, entries sorted, food sorted where it’s included.
A good half of the people who book come on their own. They rarely leave that way.

Questions
Things people ask
How do I book a trip?
Tap any “Book on WhatsApp” button and the message arrives with your trip already filled in. We confirm the date and how many seats are left, you pay the advance by UPI, and you send us the screenshot. That’s it — you’re booked.
Can I pay online with a card?
Not yet. Right now we take the advance over UPI — GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or any UPI app — and the balance on the day. It keeps things simple and means we can hold your seat the moment you’re ready.
I’m travelling solo. Is that okay?
More than okay — a good half of every group comes alone. The trips are built around small groups meeting each other, and there’s always a host with you. Most people leave with a group chat that outlasts the trip.
What size are the groups?
Day experiences run small. Multi-day escapes cap at roughly 12–20 travellers so nobody gets lost in the crowd and we can still get into the places big tours can’t.
What’s actually included?
Every listing spells out inclusions and exclusions. As a rule: transport within Goa, your host, and the experience itself are included. Flights or trains to Goa, and most meals on the multi-day escapes, are not.
What if I need to cancel?
Message us as early as you can — the earlier you tell us, the more we can refund. Our cancellation and refund policy is:
- 30 or more days before the trip — 90% refund
- 15–29 days before the trip — 50% refund
- 7–14 days before the trip — 25% refund
- Less than 7 days before the trip — no refund
- No-show, or cancelling after the trip has started — no refund
If your plans shift rather than fall through, talk to us — we can often move you to another date instead.
Can you do a private or custom trip?
Yes. Birthdays, team offsites, family groups, bachelor and bachelorette trips — tell us the dates, the group size and the vibe on WhatsApp and we’ll put together an itinerary.
