Meet at the Gateway of India, a monument near the waterfront. Next, take a ferry across the Arabian Sea and admire the view of the Mumbai skyline on the way. After a short while, get off the boat on Elephanta Island to begin exploring the UNESCO World Heritage cave complex that is there.

Ride around the island on a toy train, which runs along the pier. Sit back and relax as you travel along on this miniature railway vehicle. Take in the view of the island along the way. Afterwards, get off the train when it stops. Then, go on a short walk to the famous ancient cave complex.

Follow your guide up a short series of stairs and arrive at the cave complex, famous for its intricately crafted sculptures and temples, which date back to the 5th century. Visit 3 caves, including a Hindu cavern, a Buddhist cave, and the Shiva Cave, which is the main cave in the complex.

Walk past huge sculptures of deities on the way into the Shiva Cave, which depict the main aspects of Shiva, including the destroyer, the preserver, and the creator. Roam around the caves and learn fascinating facts about the rocky temples from your guide, and ask questions if you are curious.

Finally, get back on the ferry. Enjoy the scenery on the way back to Mumbai. Get off the ferry and then make your own way back to your accommodation.
