This excursion is pure luxury! Everything was excellently organized! A pleasant car ride through Kerala, in Allepey a beautiful, huge, 2-storey boat with 3(!) bedrooms, bathrooms and a viewing terrace with comfortable chairs. Then quiet gliding, first over a huge lake, then through canals, past villages and countryside. Switching to a smaller boat worked wonderfully. On our return to the big boat, a sensationally good and plentiful meal awaited us. Also the return journey very relaxing. We spent an extraordinary, glorious day.

The views are fantastic and the boat ride is very relaxing. It was. Try hot day but there’s AC inside and there’s a breeze when you go outside so it’s still pleasant. The rooms are nice. I think the price is a little high, at least during the time we went (Jan 1st)

Our day trip cruise from Kumarakom to Alleppey was a truly enchanting experience. The houseboat itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, offering both indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the views. The journey through the backwaters was breathtaking. The lush greenery, tranquil waters, and traditional Kerala village scenes provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The onboard meal was a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared.
If you're looking for a serene and picturesque way to explore Kerala’s backwaters, this cruise is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable day on the water.
