This is information about our travel to Alibaug - Kihim beach resort on 14th Feb 2011
Instead of regular ROAD travel, we selected the water transport and finalized on MALDAR tours - they have AC and NON AC section (u can sit on upper or lower deck) and can easily accomodate upto 100passesngers at a time. they take 60-90mins from Mumbai to Mandwa Jetty
There are other provider - private jetty which takes just 7-12mins from Mumbai to Mandwa jetty and can accomodate 7passengers only but their charges are uuuuufffffffffff Rs. 12000/-one side.
From Mandwa jetty - you board a BUS (free of charge) to Kihim village - this journey takes 30-40mins and from here you need to take a AUTO to kihim beach.
The beach is not very crowded and is surrounded with tall trees (with one of the ship getting hit in 2010 with oil spill on the beach - traces are still visible) but beach is good, safe and can be safe for swimming too.
The best part of the beach is the PARACHUTE ride 15-20sec duration and charges of Rs.150-250 depend on how you bargain...its available in morning and evening only. - BUT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.....TRY it dont MISS OUT.
Go enjoy your day.
