India Beacons Sojourn has been awarded the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice (Previously TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence)  for the last few years for their Sundarbans tour. We are Rated No.1 on TripAdvisor out of 41 Boat Tours and Water Sports in Kolkata.

Sundarban day Tour or the Sundarbans One Day Tour has been christened "SUNDARBANS TOUCH AND GO" by India Beacons Sojourn due to the hectic nature of the tour, which starts at 5:30 - 6:00 hrs in the morning and ends around 19:30 - 20:00 hrs depending upon tide and traffic conditions.

The Sundarbans One Day Tour would just give you a fair idea of the Sundarbans Mangrove forest, the Sundarbans Delta and the Sundarban National park in all its glory. In the sundarbans Day Tour, we would visit the TWO top attractions, ie the watch towers of Sajnekhali and Sudhanyakhali.

However, as a word of caution, due to the long journey time involved in this Sundarbans trip from Kolkata, one should try to avail this tour only when one is hard pressed for time.

We also modify and customize your Sundarbans Day Tour to suit the length of time you have in hand as well as keeping in mind the arrival and departure timings of your train or flight.

Sundarbans Day Tour Review by our guests:
The overall management of the entire tour covering vehicle, boat, mouthwatering food, cultural display by the locals, beautiful resort and above all the beauty of Sundarban was a rare experience for us and we will prefer to go again and again under the supervision of India Beacons Sojourn.

Awesome experience. The food was simply too good. The launch is very well equipped with all necessary amenities and the views from the launch during the trip were mesmerizing.The best part were the launch staff who were always present with a smile.The guide was extremely conversant with the entire locality.Their behavior made the launch journey even better.

We preferred the AC room accommodation, though the rooms in the boat for a night stay were equally good.A perfectly crafted weekend family trip to Sunderbans is sure to ensue with India Beacons. Definitely the drive to spot the Royal Bengal will lure us again to the Bans which is wonder-striking in it's beauty, vastness and uniqueness.

India Beacons Sojourn Team nicely maintained their promises for their Sundarbans day Tour. Punctual arrival of vehicle, good behaviour of driver, nice food, endearing staff on the boat, very tasty food to suit our North Indian taste buds and well maintained boat - we had it all. Keep up the good work. 

Only dampener was the weather. It rained so much that we hardly had any chance of seeing the tiger.

Awesome, IN ONE WORD

We had opted for the Sundarbans One Day Tour from Kolkata. The arrangement made was excellent from the word go. Comfortable tempo traveller with good breakfast and juice. Porters helped us with our bags to board the boat. Bhola da our Captain was an expert at navigation and very knowledgeable of wildlife. Boat staff were courteous and food was yummy. Saptarshi our naturalist/ guide was patient and knowledgable ready to answer our silliest of question. The night stay was surprisingly comfortable in a very nice and spacious room. Locals put up Bon Bibi play and Baul songs in the evening during snacks n tea followed by sumptuous dinner. 

Now one must be thinking it’s a very comfortable stay but what about photography and wildlife...so coming to the best part..we saw the mighty Royal Bengal Tiger and what a marvellous sighting along with several birds and animals ... jungle cat, brown winged kingfisher, white collared kingfisher, black caped kingfisher, common kingfisher, otters, crocodiles and many more. Thanks to Sandeep Da and team for this unforgettable experience.

A fun filled trip to Sundarbans
 
I along with my friends were sitting thinking about where to go over this weekend. Then an idea stuck our minds and we planned a random trip to Sunderban Tiger Reserve (although we didn't spot a single tiger there, depends on luck, no offence for that). The plan was spontaneous so we started searching for online travel agencies and came across India Beacons Sojourn, saw its rating and immediately called them. We discussed about our timing constraints and were suggested a One Day Trip to Sundarbans by India Beacons and consequently the itinerary was mailed to us and we finalized the trip. 

Then came the next day, 'The Trip Day'. As promised by India Beacons, we were provided a 17 seater air conditioned Force Traveller although we were 13 people only. Started our journey at around 6 am and reached our destination at around 8:45 am. It was a comfortable journey. 

Now comes the visit experience. On reaching Sundarbans we were taken to a 6 cylinder steamer equipped with all the amenities like washrooms, restrooms, etc. The owner of this agency, Mr. Sandeep met us and introduced us to our tour guide for the day. We were then served a sumptuous breakfast on the steamer itself along with a beverage as promised in our itinerary. Then we were all set to visit our first watch tower for the day i.e. Sajnekhali wildlife sanctuary and it took us around 1.5 hours to reach there. Visited the watchtower and were back on our steamer to visit the second watchtower. On our way to the second watchtower, we were served lunch on the steamer itself and again it was very delicious and satiating to our appetite, a big thumbs up to India Beacons for that. 

After around 1 hour we reached our second watchtower i.e. Sudhanyakhali, spent some time there and finally started our return journey. It took us around 1.5 hours to reach our base through steamer. Were also served evening tea on the steamer itself which was in the itinerary also. Finally reached our base at 5 in the evening, started our return trip to our place through the same Traveller. 

Overall it was an excellent trip and the service provided by India Beacons was marvelous and fulfilled all our expectations. A big thumbs up to them. 
Ratings: 
  • Cost effectiveness : 5/5 
  • Behaviour of staff : 5/5 
  • Food and beverages : 5/5 
  • Sticking to itinerary : 5/5 
  • Knowledge of tour guide : 5/5 
Forgot to mention that on our request, we were provided with playing cards on the steamer itself by the agency. So anyone booking their next trip or holiday can rely on India Beacons blindly and it will be a hassle free experience.

Our experience of visiting Sundarbans with India Beacons Sojourn was extremely pleasant and joyous. We had just a day at Kolkata before we left for Varanasi and we managed to do the Sundarban Day tour. Not much in terms of animal sighting, but the scenic beauty of sundarbans enamoured us. 

Food was excellent and tasty and I would like to mention that right from our pickup from Shamilton Hotel till our return, we were very well taken care by Mr. Sandeep and his team. Would recommend their services.
