Additional Information

Embarking on a Houseboat journey through the Backwaters of Alleppey provides a revitalizing and remarkable experience. The Houseboat Backwater itinerary is crafted particularly for individuals who wish to explore the finest canals in and surrounding Alleppey. The Houseboat sails through scenic rivers and canals, pausing for an hour for lunch. The boat voyage further exposes you to some of Alleppey’s picturesque villages like Kainakari Village and Kuttithod, leading to a place known as Kuttamangalam. We arrange a 1-hour country boat ride to traverse through the narrow Kuttamangalam canal, which is unreachable by the houseboat. This short journey offers unmissable views of the local village, lush paddy fields, and more. Following this country boat expedition, the houseboat resumes its journey, heading towards its final stopover location.

Absolute must do houseboat trip - A unique and exclusive 6 hours day trip in a clean houseboat with all amenities and stunning lunch on board. Just wish it was longer. I strongly recommend longer day trip options ie. start out from 08h00 or 09h00 already anx rnd at 17h00. Gorgeous scenery. Wateryways get a little congested after lunch, but still great!

Most peaceful day ever - We had the whole boat to ourselves. Instructions to port were clear, two staff members that were superb but quiet. No endless chatter. Food delicious. A perfectly peaceful day travelling around the backwaters of Alleppey. The trip included an hours travel on a smaller canal boat too. We did not stay on the boat overnight but I saw the bedroom and it looked amazing. If you like peace and quiet this is the trip for you.

Private day tour of the baclwaters - Lovely private day trip through the backwaters. Tour lasted 5 hours and allowed exploration of the backwaters. As this was a private tour we were the only people on the boat. Particular highlights were the one hour tour on the smaller boat allowing the ability to explore the smaller waterways. The food was also superb although so big we could not finish it! Would recommend.

Lovely day on a houseboat with Sree's Tours. - Our group of six adults booked Sree's Tours for a day trip on a houseboat from Alleppey on 29th November 2019. We were pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the houseboat when it pulled into the jetty and the interior, comprising dining room, bedroom and toilet/bathroom was immaculate. Thereafter we spent a very pleasant and interesting six hours cruising the canals and backwaters between Alleppey and Kumarakom fortified by a welcome drink, an excellent lunch and tea/coffee in the late afternoon.The crew of three were very friendly and helpful throughout. Couldn't fault anything. A really nice day which we would thoroughly recommend.

Awesome Kerala experience with Srees tours - My parents, my husband and went for a week-long trip to Kerala (Kochi, Kumarakom, Alleppey, Kovalam, Kanyakumari) with Srees tours and we had a great experience. Mr. Sreekumar was very helpful and accommodating with our tour plans and gave a lot of important advice about the itinerary. The hotels booked through them were great, the houseboat stay was something all of us will remember; it was one of the greatest relaxing experience of the gorgeous backwaters, the food cooked by the chef onboard was great, the rooms and decor of the houseboat were exquisite. Our driver Mr. Ajith was very helpful and understanding. We are very happy with our experience with Srees tours.

Excellent service in organzing houseboat tour and taxi services in Kochi - Srees Tours facilitated a two night houseboat tour and numerous taxi transfers for our family group of four adults. Even though we only communicated via email and web in advance, all arrangements were delivered exactly as promised. Our two night houseboat experience (on the Palazhi boat owned by Srees Tours) was memorable in all respects...from the well equipped and comfortable vessel, to the attentive crew, to the excellent meals...all of which allowed us to appreciate the serene beauty of the Kumarakom and Alleppey backwaters. Our taxi driver, Mohan, was outstanding...punctual, safe, communicative and friendly. His reliability made our trip relaxing. Thank you to Mr. Sreekumar and his team for making our Kerala visit memorable and enjoyable! Highly recommended.

Good experience - We booked a private 6 hour cruise in the houseboat. The houseboat was very luxurious and clean with bedroom, bathtub and dining room facilities. There is a lower as well as nice viewing upper deck where one can sit and enjoy the view of the backwaters. The lunch provided was sumptuous, and 1 welcome drink, and tea/coffee and snacks were provided. You can buy prawns/other seafood items and they will cook it for you, however that is for extra charge and is quite expensive. The price for 6 hours is a little costly, also it will be nice if the boat assistants give some information about the places we are going in the houseboat.

Do not do it!!! Choose a scenic excursion instead. - Excellent views, clean waters. The service on the boat is pretty decent as well. But…. After about 2 hours the whole thing became an ordeal, the boat was tied to the back side of a building with extremely dilapidated grounds. Garbage all around. Stayed stuck. Morning sunrise ride was too late. The best part was getting off the boat. I recommend a scenic ride rather than the overnight excursion.
