The Ultimate Kerala Backwater Cruise

Morning (Optional Pick-up): Our driver can pick you up from your hotel, the airport (Kochi), or the railway station in a private A/C vehicle and transfer you directly to the houseboat jetty.
(Parking facilities are available at the jetty if you arrive in your own vehicle).

11:00 AM (Check-in): Board your private houseboat and be greeted by the crew with a refreshing Welcome Drink. As the boat begins its journey, you'll glide into the vast, serene backwaters, a unique ecosystem of canals, lakes, and lagoons.

Afternoon (Lunch & Cruise): A delicious, traditional Kerala Lunch featuring local specialties like Karimeen (Pearl Spot fish) fry will be prepared fresh and served onboard. The cruise continues, passing by lush green paddy fields (often below sea level), coir-making villages, and scenes of daily life on the water.

Late Afternoon: Enjoy Evening Tea & Snacks (like fresh banana fritters). During the cruise, you can buy fresh prawns, crabs, or large fish directly from local fishermen or vendors. Your houseboat chef will then cook it for you for dinner.

* Toddy Shop Visit: Ask your crew to stop at a local toddy shop to sample the famous, mildly fermented palm wine (at your own expense).
* Water Sports: We can arrange for water sports activities like speed boating or kayaking at an extra cost (must be pre-booked).

Evening: At 5:30 PM, the houseboat will anchor for the night as per local regulations. You can relax onboard, enjoy the sunset, or try your hand at fishing. You can pre-arrange for the houseboat to dock at a reputable Ayurvedic centre for an hour-long massage.
After a refreshing walk through the local village, a full Dinner will be served.

Morning (Sunrise & Breakfast): Wake up to the peaceful sounds of the backwaters. The crew will serve coffee or tea, and the boat will start its cruise back towards the jetty around 8:00 AM. A fresh Breakfast (South Indian or Continental) will be served as you enjoy the final views.

10:00 AM (Check-out): Your unforgettable cruise comes to an end. You will disembark at the jetty.

Onward Journey (Optional Drop-off): If you've booked a transfer, our driver will be waiting to take you to your next destination (Kochi, Munnar, Varkala, or the airport).
