Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Kochi (Cochin), Kochi (Cochin), Ernakulam District, Kerala

Explore the famous Kerala backwaters of Alleppey on board a traditional houseboat. Alleppey, also known as Alappuzha, is located between the Arabian Sea and a web of rivers flowing into it. In the early 20th century, the then Viceroy of the Indian Empire, Lord Curzon was so mesmerized by the scenic beauty he declared that Alleppey was “The Venice of the East.”

Following a pickup from Cochin Cruise Port or from Cochin Hotels, transfer to Aleppey to board your houseboat. Cruise slowly through the backwaters and village areas to marvel at the lush vegetation, paddy fields, coconut palms, and more. There’s no guide on board but there will be 3 staff members to look after you and make sure your experience is as relaxed as you could wish for. Enjoy a lunch of Keralan cusine as you gently cruise, before later transferring back to Cochin Port or your hotel.

I contacted Lijo on short notice. He was responsive and very accommodating. The guide was engaging and spoke English very well. I recommend Lijo and his company.

The boat ride itself was very idyllic and relaxing, with a good of the slow lifestyle along the backwaters. The boat was also surprisingly stable and did not create any problems at all for someone with motion sickness. The staff on the boat was also very hospitable, and prepared an amazing meal. Tourists from Kochi need to take note, though, that the car drive may take about 2h+ each way (if traffic is as we've encountered) from your hotel to Alleppey. Other than the length of the car drive (which we have to commend the driver for his focus and driving skills), all was good.

It was a beautiful and peaceful boat ride down the river with gorgeous scenery. The food was delicious and they were very attentive. Mr lali was a huge help in getting us to our tour.

Very peaceful boat tour with very kind and informative guides. Loved the views, it was a great way to spend our first day in Kerala! Would love to come back and try the overnight tour, it sounded lovely

Excellent alternative to the overpriced cruise ship tours. Met promptly, comfortable coach with expert and good humoured guide. The backwaters are a relaxed and tranquil escape from the exciting chaos greeting you in India's cities and towns. Good food and excellent service on the boat. The party size was very comfortable due to some last minute cancellations. Its worth checking party size when booking as these are just what they say "Houseboats" and have 2 or 3 cabins a dining room and a kitchen as well as the deck area where you spend most of your time on your trip, so any more than 16 - 20 people and the area may be too crowded to be enjoyable, depending on the boat configuration. The trip from the port is about 2 hours as the main roads are currently undergoing major upgrades. The operator took all this into account and ensured we got the advertised time on the boat and returned to port in good time. All in all, a great trip and excellent service throughout.
