Dabolim Airport to North Goa Taxi

North Goa covers the coast and villages north of the Mandovi river, including the Bardez and Pernem talukas. It is the busier half of Goa’s coast, with well-known beaches, markets and nightlife. If you are staying there, a pre-booked taxi from Dabolim Airport to North Goa is the easiest way to get to your hotel after landing.

The drive north from Dabolim

From the airport, the road heads north and crosses the Zuari river, passes Panaji, then crosses the Mandovi into Bardez. It is the longest common transfer from Dabolim after the far south, so allow enough time, particularly for return trips to catch a flight. Traffic around Panaji can be slower at busy times of day.
