A perfect day in the backwaters - I only had 24 hrs in the backwaters and this was a perfect way to experience and get emerged in it. I absolutely loved paddling around the backwaters, observing and interacting with the locals, and taking in the beautiful scenery and seeing incredible birds. My guide was perfect - knowledgeable and friendly. I also really appreciated being able to flex the length of the tour based on my preferences. Another highlight was the incredible lunch cooked and served on route by some locals. It was one of the best meals I had in Kerala. I was glad to meet this tour operator and plan to do a 2 week tour of three southern states with my family.

Great kayaking experience. - Wow, what a brilliant tour. The guides were excellent, very knowledgeable. We saw so many birds, village life and amazing scenery. We were given soft drinks and fresh fruit along the way, and had the most delicious local lunch, and were invited into the home of the restaurant owner and met his wife who had cooked the meal (in her spotlessly clean kitchen). It was very hot so we were given the option of taking a boat back instead of kayaking the last bit, which was lovely. We would definitely recommend this trip, but you need to be fit to go on the day tour, if not, they do a shorter one.
