The only downside for this excursion was an approx 2 hour ride each way, through tortuous traffic, due to road construction work getting to the Backwater start point. The backwater motorised canoe was excellent, sailing along the canals. Lunch was included.

The houseboat tour was wonderful. Very relaxing and worth doing. Our guides were excellent and the lunch was very good.

This was a great way to experience life in the backwaters of Kochi. It was a small group of 12 people and we travelled by minibus from the port. Although the journey was around 2 hours, the guide made the time pass quickly by sharing lots of information about the local culture. The backwater experience was super and again, the guide went out of his way to ensure the experience was maximised. Lunch was provided at a super local restaurant with a sharing platter of Indian dishes which were delicious. We stopped off at Fort Kochi on the way back to the port to see the Chinese fishing nets in action. A really great trip with a fantastic guide (I just wish I could remember his name!).
