Perfect green place, costs 500 rupia ticket, you have a big parking.
In this price you get a super guide, tea and the lunch.
The lunch is not perfect but you can taste a lot of dishes.
Nice place if you want to see how vanillia, piri piri, pepper growns.
The place should be in the list if you are planning to visit Goa. This place has so much to learn and understand how much our spices and plantation enrich our culture and heritage that we are known across worldwide. From creating cashew fenni to all varieties of spices that's grown over here is commendable. They also provide lunch and tours together which costs ₹800/person. Overall it's one of the best places to experience and explore when in goa.

Set by the shores of Arekerem Lake near Ponda, Goa, this is a wonderful experience.. Surrounded by lush, forested hills is a 100 acre spice plantation. The staff were warm and friendly. Our guide Karishma took us on a walkaround at a suitable pace for even the older members of our group. She answered all our questions, was humorous and looked after us until the point we left. Oh, incuded in the price was a lovely Goan lunch including chapati, rice, veggies, fish, chicken, kokum juice, and a sweet. Definitely worth a visit.
We read mixed review on Google and thus were susceptible about our visit. We went ahead and I must say that it was nothing short of a trip which my entire family enjoyed, across age of 7 years to 42.
Our tour guide, Karishma, was just too good and made sure that our visit was not just educational but was filled with fun too. Special thanks to her for making this trip a success. Food was also a mix of veg and non-veg and had a decent spread. Plus we could also buy organic stuff from the estate.
All in all, I would recommend this trip.
Many things to consider. Firstly, it’s not worth it if you are already from a tropical place as people here always get to see a lot of spices being grown first hand. Secondly, the spices are harvested in a short window in the summer. Which means you are never actually getting to see anything first hand if you come in any of the remaining 9 months.
That being said the ambience and the lunch are quite good. Hand wash facility needs to be greatly improved.
Complete value for money: Refreshing drink, veg and non-veg food available in 500/person ticket. You will be able to see the spices plants which we use them daily. It's a wroth visiting there. You can buy the products from the in-house shop.
Doodhsagar and Spice Plantation trip are usually done together. Tropical Spice plantation is indeed worth visiting. There are so many different species to know . The guide was too good. Enjoyed our elephant ride inside the plantation during our visit to Goa
It was a surprisingly interesting place. I never knew I would enjoy knowing about the spices and its origin. It feels like being on a school trip where we are divided into groups and sent on a experience where we get to see, touch, smell and feel spices.
Pros-
1. It's feels like being on a new world where everything is so green and clean. Definitely the air feels fresher.
2. They charge 500 per person and provide a tour guide, a welcome drink, warm welcome, and unlimited lunch.
3. Our tour guide was the sweetest person, he was really funny and very informative. Our whole exploring journey was even more fun because of him.
4. They showed us many herbs and spices.
5. They sell those herbs at a very reasonable price at their own shop.
Cons-
1. Wear nice light weight breezy cloths because it's always tiring and hot as you have to walk alot.
Great experience visiting and driving to this place. A half day tour with them. Entry fees of Rs.500.
Welcomed with fantastic view and grand welcome with flower shower.
Flavourful welcome tea is served made with homegrown spices.
Very nice and informative guided tour of the plantation. But think it was of very short duration.
Tasted Kaju- feni and Veg. Goan food in the buffet lunch. Would rate it average.
You have their spice shop to purchase their products. Some of them are really nice.
