The monsoon season brings Goa alive with a vibrant blanket of green. The hills are shrouded in mist, the paddy fields are brimming with water, and the rivers are full to the brim. To experience the best of Goa, consider renting a scooter or car and heading out on the highway with your partner. Driving on the road while the cool, gentle breezes hit your skin is something that you will never forget for years to come.
2. Beat the Crowds
Less crowded areas already make things a lot more beautiful, isn’t it? Peaceful beaches and silent streets will undoubtedly tempt you to ditch all other plans and head straight to Goa. Unlike the peak season (December to February), Goa is blissfully free of crowds during the monsoon. You can explore the beaches, churches, and forts at your own pace and enjoy a truly peaceful vacation.
3. Witness the Majestic Waterfalls
The monsoon season is the best time to visit Goa’s waterfalls, such as Dudhsagar Falls, Arvalem Waterfalls, and Savari Waterfalls. These waterfalls are at their most powerful and spectacular during this time. It is a must-visit place for every traveler because it becomes more beautiful during the monsoon. These waterfalls are surrounded by dense greenery, which makes for a refreshing trekking trip.

Other than all seafood dishes, fish is the freshest in Goa during monsoon season, and it tastes like heaven.
6. Explore Goa’s Rich History & Culture
Goa is home to a number of historical forts, churches, and temples. These sites are even more atmospheric during the monsoon season when the rain adds a touch of mystery and romance. Apart from that, Goa even celebrates many cultural festivals that are equally charming and reflect the state’s rich heritage. One of the monsoon festivals is Sao Joao, which is mainly celebrated by Goan Catholic communities.
7. Go for a Scenic Scooter Ride
If you like drops of rain splashing across your face while you ride, you must go for a scooter ride while on your trip to Goa. Other than that, renting a scooter is a great way to explore Goa’s lush, green countryside during the monsoon season. Moreover, since it’s off-season, renting bikes is cheaper. Just be sure to drive carefully, as the roads can be slippery.

One of the very popular Mambo’s and Tito’s are hotspots even during the monsoon season. But what’s the best part about it? Well, it is that this place is less crowded, and you can easily sit, relax, eat, and dance till the time you wish.
9. Visit the Spice Plantations
The monsoon season brings the spice plantations alive. Goa’s spice plantations are a must-visit for any nature lover. The monsoon season is a great time to see the spices growing in abundance. As you walk through the plantation, the air will be filled with the refreshing scent of lemongrass, the warm sweetness of nutmeg, and the earthy aroma of freshly ground pepper. It’s a truly immersive experience for your sense of smell.

flea markets in Goa are a great place to find souvenirs and local handicrafts. The flea markets offer a wider variety of items during the off-season. Local artisans may be showcasing their latest creations, and you might find one-of-a-kind pieces you wouldn’t see during peak season. The monsoon season is a great time to haggle for bargains, as there are fewer tourists around.
