Travel with the tribe. Engineer the vibe. The Goa New Year Escape is a 5-day, 4-night festive squad expedition through North Goa — from Old Goa's UNESCO heritage churches, Mangeshi Temple, and Panjim's colourful Fontainhas quarter to clifftop sunsets at Aguada and Chapora Forts and the beaches of Candolim, Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Vagator, Dona Paula and Miramar. Ring in 2027 at a New Year's Eve Cruise Party with unlimited food and drinks. Book your Goa New Year escape today.
Arrive at Goa Airport/Train Station, meet your TripEngineered tour representative, and hop into the group transfer to your North Goa hotel. Complete check-in and settle into your rooms. In the evening, shake off the travel fatigue with a relaxed stroll along the nearby shores with the group, catch your first tropical beach sunset, and settle in for a welcoming first night.
Visit Old Goa's UNESCO World Heritage churches, including the Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral, then continue to the serene Shri Mangeshi Temple. In the afternoon, head to Panjim for a city tour covering the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and a stroll through Fontainhas, the colourful Latin Quarter. Continue to Dona Paula viewpoint for sweeping bay views, then wind down with a golden sunset at Miramar Beach. (Please dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered, for church and temple visits.)
Begin the final day of the year at Aguada Fort, then work your way up the North Goa coastline via Sinquerim and Candolim beaches. In the afternoon, continue through the buzzing Calangute and Baga beaches to laid-back Anjuna, ending the trail at Vagator Beach and clifftop Chapora Fort for the final sunset of the year. Return to the hotel, dress up, and head out for the flagship New Year's Eve Cruise Party, with music, dancing, unlimited food, and party drinks as you ring in the New Year.
Enjoy a relaxed morning and recovery breakfast after the New Year's Eve celebrations. No hectic sightseeing today, so take the day at your own pace. Explore North Goa's beaches, cafés, and local markets; shop for souvenirs, fashion, and handicrafts; or go café hopping. In the evening, relax or gather with the squad for one last golden Goa sunset.
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and complete check-out. Depending on your flight timing, spend some free time in North Goa for last-minute shopping or beachside relaxation before the group transfer to Goa Airport/Station. Say goodbye to Goa with memories of beaches, heritage, nightlife, and an epic New Year celebration with your squad.
