About this experience
Elephant Caves are situated on Elephanta Island, which is located about 10 km and an hour away from the Gateway of India by boat, and have been dated back to the 4th-5th century BC. The Elephanta Caves tour will give you an opportunity to learn about the history of the Hindu God Lord Shiva, creator, protector and transformer of the universe. Your tour guide, an Elephanta Island resident, will lead you through this UNESCO World Heritage Site which is a must-see and fill you in on all the lesser-known details surrounding the history of the caves. The 120 steps to climb are well worth the effort, although sedan chairs with porters are available on site. Are you ready?

A great trip to the Elephanta Caves!
A great tour to the Elephanta Caves. Everything was perfectly organized by Amish from Epic Mumbai Tours, the guide Avinash was very friendly and uncomplicated. He had a lot of knowledge and was able to explain everything very well. It was a fantastic experience! We took a ferryboat during 1h 15 to reach the place. There are many stairs to reach the caves with different shops. The island is a peaceful place with wild monkeys and great view on the ocean! Thank you very much for this very great trip!

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mumbai.
How much does Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mumbai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mumbai is not rushed.
Is Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Mumbai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mumbai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mumbai and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Daily Shared Elephanta Caves Group Tour with Chai and Snacks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mumbai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mumbai?
+
On Outty we rank every Mumbai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Elephanta Caves & Island Guided Private Tour, Dharavi Slum Tour, Mumbai: Dharavi Slum & Dhobi Ghat Laundry Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mumbai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mumbai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
