Wonderful excursion!

Published on Feb, 2025

Very happy we chose the canoe versus the houseboat. We were able to go down the small channels to see how the locals live. Very humbling and inspiring.

Wonderful Tour-Can’t say enough positive things.

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was so professional, insightful, and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the geography and culture. The backwater tour was wonderful with an attentive crew. We enjoyed a lovely meal and the beautiful scenery. Although we were concerned about the distance From the port to the houseboat, the scenery made it worth the while. I highly recommend.

Backwater trip is more existing

Published on Apr, 2020

This trip was well arrange and gave us an interesting insights to life.the food was surprisely quite good

Definitely recommend

Published on Mar, 2020

Amazing trip, the guide was fantastic and the boat and food onboard was lovely. The two men on the boat who prepared our food were fantastic. The views are stunning and I definitely recommend. The travel time is long (1.5 hours there and just over 2 hours back due to traffic) however it was a comfortable journey in an air conditioned mini bus.

Houseboat extraordinaire

Published on Mar, 2020

Chris our guide was the best yet, the experience of being on the houseboat in Kerala was a highlight of our cruise. The boat and crew exceptional. If you have the chance to do this you should. Thank you
