A must do, highly recommended - Great night away, the boat was more than expected, the crew were extremely attentive and helpful. The chef cooked beautifully tasty local food. We loved the slow pace allowing us the opportunity to see everything with plenty of time to take photographs. Highly recommended

Great get away fir two - Lovely trip - peaceful and quiet. Houseboat for 2 was lovely, the staff on board very helpful and the food on board great. If you want beer on board bring it with you as there isn't anywhere near the pick up point to buy any. Also allow plenty of time as the pick up point is off the beaten track and difficult to find.

Lovely 2 night houseboat tour - Excellent experience for our 2 night houseboat trip: the staff were very friendly and attentive and the boat was in good condition. The meals were excellent and huge so go with an empty stomach! We got a real flavour of the backwaters and it was a relaxing experience. Our only feedback would it would be helpful to have the day itinerary explained to us by the staff, as we weren’t quite sure where we were at times - otherwise excellent!

Exceptional in every way - Having a superb traditional backwaters boat, well maintained, clean, with 2 people, the captain and the cook, taking care of us for 21 hours is a luxury not to be missed. For those who hesitate to spend a night on board, you risk depriving yourself of something fantastic. Bed, bathroom, WC air-conditioned room... everything very good and even better than in some hotels during our stay... See the sun go down, the birds brush against the river, not a sound, not a neighbor.. . unforgettable moment in love for a very reasonable price. Go there with your eyes closed. Very good stay until next time. Andrew

Wonderful relaxing houseboat cruise - It was an incredibly fun and relaxing 2 days. Our captain and chef were wonderful, the food was some of the best we've had on our trip. It was the perfect amount of space on the boat for 2 people. Watching daily life of the Kerala Backwater residents was a great part of the experience floating by as well. Our only issue was that it was a bit tough to find the launching point from the information provided in Viator.

River cruise - We were really looking forward to the boat trip in the backwaters, especially the premium boat with its own crew. The attractive photo of the boat on the booking confirmation had also increased our expectations accordingly. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. One day before our departure we were informed that the boat was leaving from a different mooring than originally announced. This led to an additional cost of 1,800 rupees for transport, which we had to bear ourselves. Once at the dock, we were initially shocked by the condition of the boat, which bears the name “Queens” and in no way corresponded to the photo in the booking confirmation. The interiors – apart from the bathroom where mold had already spread – were in acceptable condition. The crew was friendly and endeavoured, however, the English language skills were very limited so we did not receive any information about the area. The food was fine, but cold drinks (except water) were not included. Overall, we feel the price charged for the service offered is significantly too high.
