Excellent experience - We took a 2 hour cruise that takes you to the lake and then to the small canals through villages. We saw the local villagers going about their daily chores. Haneef bhai was a great guide, giving us so much interesting information about the area. Since he has a small boat, it can go through really small canals, which the shikaras cannot. A must do in the area.

Great day trip from Kochi - Lovely day out in the Alleppey Backwaters. There was a little confusion when I asked Haneef for a price of pick up and drop off to station the day before the tour in what's app. He told me the price which I took as confirmation that he would arrange transport but when we got there it turned out he was just telling me roughly how much it would be to get an Auto from the station and back which we did with no problems as there were plenty there. Once we arrived at the meeting point Haneef was there to greet us and even let us grab a coffee before boarding the boat.
