Your ideal day in Honnavar starts when you walk into your accommodation. Once you’ve settled in, start your explorations with a trip to the unspoilt Eco Beach – that’s ideal for taking an early morning peaceful walk along the lapping waves. Then it’s a short ride through the mangroves to where you can also spend time on a one-kilometre-long walkway through this unique ecosystem -the Sharavathi Kandla Mangrove Boardwalk, taking you deep into this calming and critical world of the mangrove forest. All that morning activity works up a hunger for your self-sponsored lunch, which is also the perfect time to enjoy some of the fresh and real "coastal" food you've read about, particularly seafood.
Afterwards, refreshed from the rest, enjoy a cool dip in the natural pond at its base—Apsarakonda Waterfalls, named after 'Pond of the Celestial Nymphs' is delightful. Traverse a short distance beyond from the falls and you will get to witness a jaw-dropping cliff-top lookout commanding panoramic views of the beach and the Arabian sea. Retrieve the finale of the day as golden hour approaches – a sunset boat ride along calm waters of Sharavathi River backwaters. Floating through fertile islands of the river, you'll see the sun set across a blanket of dazzling reds and oranges. As the sun sets, you head back to your stay to enjoy a nice restful dinner but with dreams about what all you experienced today in Honnavar.

Wake up in an excitement to go under the sea- today you are going to see the underwater world of one of the most attractive lands in India. After a filling breakfast, we head out to Netrani Island, a coral reserve whose location in the Arabian Sea is 67 km out. Sometimes referred to as the heart-shaped island, such an uninhabited beauty cannot be explored on land, but its waters preserve secrets to which only the divers become witnesses of.
A reserved boat is available with bathrooms and simple snacks and food, and the 45-minute cruise to cover the Arabian Sea will be easy. Once on board, professional dive masters train you with an informative pre-dive introduction- safety measures, hand signs and hints that enable you to maximize your dive experience. Make sure your snacks are light, and your energy is constant, you have a dive to look forward to!
Gear up. Breathe. Dive in.
Get in deep blue with your teacher, and observe life in the colorful movement - flocking schools of fish, psychedelic coral walls and the silence that is present only in the ocean. It is not a dive; it is a personal experience with an unknown world.
Once back on top, have a light post-dive meal and get used to that adventure high. On the way back, we make a short halt in Murudeshwar, where you get a chance to freshen yourself up (self-sponsored). Before the trip runs out, laugh together, exchange stories, and have dinner with your fellow travelers.
When your head touches the pillow tonight, you will not hear the silence and instead, your ears will be filled with the soothing whims of the ocean, the heartbeat of Netrani, which will be echoed in your memories.
This is not just a dive. It reminds you of the worlds that exist when you decide to explore.
