About us
We're locals who'd rather be on the water.
Joanne D'Souza grew up in Saligao and started Susegad Tours with one boat and a beach umbrella in 2014 (sample story).
Now we run nine activities with our own boats, kayaks and certified instructors, and we still answer every WhatsApp ourselves.

Melroy made my first dive feel like the easiest thing in the world. I saw a moray eel!
