Elephanta Caves Ferry & Guided Tour

A harbour ferry to the UNESCO rock-cut Shiva temples of Elephanta Island.

About this experience

You sail an hour across Mumbai harbour from the Gateway of India to the UNESCO-listed island of Elephanta.

You climb the stepped path past curio stalls to the rock-cut caves, where a guide reveals the colossal three-faced Trimurti of Shiva and the sixth-century carvings hewn straight from the basalt hillside.
