    Our host Wilson Stanley organised for us an amazing boat ride in an eco friendly environment. The ride was in a traditional non electric wooden boat through the small channels on backwater. The whole experience was unique and relaxing lasting approximately 2.5 hours. We enjoyed the sunset, how to make rope making from coconut fibbers and coconut leaves roofing. All organised by Wilson. This is definitely something you must do when you visit Cochin.

    This is an authentic backwater river boat trip. We really liked the small covered boat that was punted along the river (no motor) which made it an incredibly peaceful experience and gets you close up to the wildlife . You get to see the locals fishing , reed gathering and mussel gathering all in a beautiful environment . The authentic Indian lunch at a local home was great plus another smaller boat trip on a smaller canal and local rope making and weaving demonstrations . Really good value.
