We loved it and the menace of monkey is there but if are careful then no problem. Journey to Cave is very very entertaining. Maintenance of cave is very good. Security guard plays role of guide for a small sum of 50.

I was lucky to take my mother to visit this place. She still remembers the experience and that makes me happy. We had a great trip but the monkeys snatched my packet of chips :) I believe that was an added value to our memory. The ferry departs early morning from Gateway of India. Highly recommended.

The approach to the island is stunning, it just looks like a pure green paradise. You will need comfortable shoes as there is a fair trek up the hill to get to the caves and when you get there the Indian government have now increased the foreign tourist tax to 600 INR, I think the caves are quite interesting but many are in a low state of repair. The are lots, and lots, and lots, of little stalls on the way up with every trinket you can think of from relevant local references, to Indian references and then more!

Good place to spend some time if you want to move 1day from out of Mumbai. Ferry ride of 1:30 min (One side) from gateway of India is so much fun. Ferry ride season from October to June . Remaining time ferry ride stops due to rainy season.

Amazing place. But you must have some info about statues there. So do some research before going and take print outs of different statues description. It can be easily found on wiki.
