Experience Cruise with incredible view of sunset at Gokarna

I have been to Gokarna several times. but every time there is a new experience and this time it was with Cruise.

I reached kudle beach and booked a resort this time instead of staying in local shacks due to safety and hygiene as I travelled during pandemic.

My friends and I stayed at Kudle beach view resort which is 10 minutes walking distance to the beach.

At the resort they had a ad regarding the cruise experience and we were curious about it as we have never experienced something like this in here.

The cruise service is managed by "White pearl cruise" agency. They have different customised packages according to your preference/choice.

They have breakfast on cruise which starts at 9.30 Am in morning and ends at 11.30 Am and the price for it is 599 per person

They also have Lunch , Dinner, stay and Banquet services which you can pre book according to your choice.

I wanted to take the sunset on cruise which starts at 5.30 Pm and ends at 7.30 Pm. the price for the same was 799 person which includes welcome drink and snacks.

We called the number from the website and enquired about the same and they sent us the direction and the timings to be at the port.

Getting here:

From Kudle beach the common way to travel is via Auto Rickshaw which costs about 500. the distance from Kudle to Tadadi port is around 15km.

We were asked to be at the port at 4.45 and we took the rickshaw to reach the destination at 4 and we arrived on time.

We were given life jackets while entering and were given a welcome drink. The tables were set perfectly along with a bottle of water and the buffet which was spread with some snacks like cup cakes and other savouries.

The cruise started at around 5pm and we were on the ride for about 2 hours and the experience was incredible. the ride was through out all 3 famous beaches in Gokarna which are paradise beach, Om beach and Kudle beach. We were able to even witness the lighthouse from a distance.

The sunset was beautiful to witness along with the lush green coconut palms bordering the beaches, fishing crafts and the harbours that were closeby.

The boat comes to halt by twilight and you can take the auto rickshaw back to your destination if you do not have your own transport to commute. The cruise is suitable for couples, families and friends who wants to experience something different and here for a shorter vacation.

Enjoy the incredible non filter pictures that I have clicked during this experience.
