The whole experience was wonderful from beginning to end end, we were picked up at our hotel and upon arriving we boarded our boat cruising through the backwaters was wonderful, gave us welcome drink, stopped to buy fresh tiger shrimp, also had a tase of toddy. We were served with sumptuous lunch of 3 vegetables, chicken,fish n shrimp and dessert. I was very delicious. We had tour of 4 hrs with lunch it was perfect for us.

Driver was waiting for us. Nice air conditioned vehicle. It was a long drive - nearly 2 hours and we were a bit worried about getting back to the ship later. The driver and the canoe guide agreed a time to come back to give us plenty of time. Tge cruise round was very relaxing and our guide/driver lived in the village and shared lots of info with us. Well worth the long journey

A trip to this part of India without a visit to the backwaters would be incomplete. My driver Shaneer showed up early to pick me up, which was highly appreciated. His auto is extremely comfortable which made for an enjoyable ride to the Alleppey boat jetty. Shaneer’s mastery of English made the long ride educational and fun. When we arrived at the jetty the boat diver, Manu was waiting. I was happy i booked the canoe boat because this allowed us to go into some of the smaller canals which are more interesting then the larger ones. Manu told me about like in his village, about the rice farming and other interesting points along the way. I highly recommend both Scanner and Manu for this trip if they are available. I would like to come back in the future and do the ride just before sunset, I think the would make for beautiful lighting for photography.
