Juhu Beach
Juhu beach is the last point of your Mumbai Darshan sightseeing trip and you will get nearly 45 minutes here. After this your bus will drop you at your respective dropping points.
Note that this full day trip is good for those who have never been to Mumbai and not seen important places of Mumbai. If you have planned to visit Elephanta caves ( not part of this package ) then the ferry journey included in the Mumbai Darshan is not required. Similarly Prince Wales Museum is just 5 minutes walk from Gateway so it can be easily seen while travelling to Gateway.
