Our private coastal Karnataka beaches day tour from Mangalore strings together the finest stretches of shoreline in a private, air-conditioned car with an English-speaking local chauffeur — one fixed, all-inclusive fare with no hidden costs. Padubidri and Kapu are among India's Blue-Flag certified beaches — an international mark of clean water, safety and good facilities — and the historic Kapu lighthouse offers a classic coastal viewpoint.
The highlight is Maravanthe, where National Highway 66 runs like a ribbon with the Arabian Sea on one side and the Souparnika river on the other. It is one of the most photogenic drives in South India, and an easy, relaxed day for families.
