Editor's Review

If you want an ideal experience of the scenic backwaters of Kerala and you just have one day to spare, this tour plan is simply perfect. A good lunch, tea and snacks are offered at the houseboat. The beautiful glimpses of village life along the shore turn into joyful memories. The rejuvenating ayurvedic massages and souvenir shopping add to and complete the experience.

PROS

  • Best backwater experience in limited time.
  • You can have ayurvedic massages or do some shopping after the cruise.
  • Good lunch, tea and snacks are served at the houseboat

CONS

  • Not many sightseeing options.
    • If you want to spend some time visiting sightseeing spots, we could suggest a different tour plan for you.
  • You cannot experience houseboat cruise, canoe ride and Kayaking together.
    • This is because we have limited time. So you can choose only one of them.
