Beautiful and Calm Scenery

Published on Feb, 2024

Beautiful scenery in Kerala, India. The tour guides were able to talk about Indian’s history and culture along the way to the backwater pier. I really enjoyed the learning experience. We also saw the lives of people along the area and loved the cooking on the boat. Excellent trip to take while in Cochin.

Fantastic day

Published on Dec, 2019

It's a MUST if you want to see what life is really like in this part of India. Great guide and driver (how does he do it?) Air Conditioned mini bus from the cruise terminal. The journey took over an hour and a half on busy roads and populated villages but what an experience. Stopped to see an elephant at a Buddhist temple and then boarded the House boat with two other couples. Amazing two hours on the river seeing wildlife, countryside and people washing and bathing. Lovely local dishes served for lunch before setting off for the journey back calling at Cochin Fort area and the Chinese fishing nets. It's a must do and big thanks to the guide Ram ? driver, boat crew and Viator for a fabulous day.
