What: Beach hopping in a fisherman’s boat, Palolem Beach, South Goa, Rs 2,800 for seven hours – bargaining encouraged.

Why: Use charm as bait and get the fishermen at Palolem to take you out on their boats. The perfect day trip begins from the nearby Patnem Beach, with lunch on the Agonda sands (don’t miss Darcy's beefsteak) and dolphin watching on the way to the secluded Butterfly Beach.

When: You want to get in on Goa’s net profit.
