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 La Vacanza Travel.

This was such an amazing trip - beautiful scenery, delicious food, excellent service and a comfortable night’s sleep. There was a little confusion around the pick up point but other than that it was all plain sailing.

I have never seen such a filthy unhygienic bathroom and boat .. The thought of staying overnight filled us with dred ! Let alone eat any food on it . We noticed fish lying on the side of an equally unhygienic looking kitchen ..How long it had been on the side is anyone's guess .. Very surprised TripAdvisor has this on their books .. Stay well away ..

My partner and I loved this cruise. We'd done a fair bit of research and settled on this boat as we're keen on a private cruise and a smaller boat and as budget/mid range traveller this was a really good price. The boat was exactly as described and spacious for two. The bedroom was decorated beautifully and the aircon powerful. The cruise itself was peaceful and even on the busy backwaters our captain managed to find quiet canals and at times it felt we were alone on the backwater with nature (I have never seen so many birds!). The crew were brilliant respectful of the environment and cooked us fantastic and varies vegetarian food. I would definitely recommend, especially for the price.

Great experience. The food was the best. Staff was good as well. So nothing to complain about. They even helped me in finding the right buses to our next location.
