Only 10km from Mumbai on an island in the Oman Sea, Elephant Island is unmissable for its caves, classified a UNESCO World Heritage site.  
My suggestion
Be aware of thieving monkeys if you have a snack in the shade! And if you take lots of photos of Indian people at the top of steps, don't be surprised if you are obliged to give them a tip!

My suggestion
The last ferry leaves the Gate of India at 2pm, so make sure you're on time! Ticket prices are higher for foreigners (as is the norm in India), so don't be surprised.
