I had an amazing time! Mr. Krupresh was an awesome tour guide who was extremely passionate about the island and about telling the story of the Elephanta Caves. I went solo and passed many other large tourist groups with a guide. Nothing that guide said was an enjoyable, enthusiastic or caring as Mr. Krupresh about the history and culture.

I really enjoyed this tour and had a great time. It was very informative and easy. I suggest bringing lots of water and sun protection. Check the season and the weather. I did get caught in the rain which was ok with me but I can see it not being the best experience if you're not prepared. Note that it involves an hour ferry ride each way so if you get motion sickness plan accordingly.

Daivat was great! It was hot that day but we made the most of the trip. He also knew great photo opportunities.

A trip to the Elephant Caves is worthwhile. The caves and many of the sculptures are still quite well preserved. It is like diving into a completely different world - historically as well as spiritually. Our guide, Harisha, brought us a little closer to this other world in a friendly way.

I had a fantastic time at the island with a great tour guide, David. I definitely think a tour is worth it to visit this island, as although there are signs, we were able to gain further insight into Hinduism and the carvings and their history. David was pleasant, funny and knowledgeable about the island and the caves within. I would definitely recommend this experience to my family and friends and a big thank you to David as a fabulous tour guide!

Easy to find meeting place in front of the Pizza Express.
Simple walk down past the Gateway to India and onto the ferry. The ferry ride takes about 1 hour out to the island.
First guide hands you off smoothly to the island guide, who ha actually been born and grew up on the island. No one better to tell you about the place then.
The climb up to the caves is a little taxing but there are plenty of opportunities to stop along the way.
The cave itself is quite spectacular and to see the work that must have been done to carve it out of the solidest of rock is quite impressive.
Watch out for the very cute monkeys that will attempt to take anything you are not hanging on to.
The ferry back took a little over an hour as we seemed to be into a headwind.
This tour makes the visit to Elephanta Island go very smoothly.

Daivat is the best tour guide there is. He was knowledgeable, funny, interactive and looked out for you. I absolutely recommend booking with him.

Our guide was great! Super easy to meet and get on the ferry. The caves were amazing and was very nice to have someone explaining the history and construction
