Excellent full day tour - As a tour with driver this was excellent. We started 30 minutes early and stopped halfway at one of the infamous Indian Coffee House for a simple basic breakfast which was an enjoyable experience. The first waterfall was impressive and the second had its own charm. We stopped for street side snacks on the way Cherai and bonus Kuzhuppilly beaches. The queue for the ferry back was long so we opted to go as foot passengers which saved time. It was a full day and our driver Niyas looked after us throughout. Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.

Need to come back soon!! - I had a great time seeing all Kerala had to offer. From seeing the beach out in Cherai to being in arm reach to the Athriappilly water falls, I definitely had an experience I would love to experience again for the first time. My guide Sooraj was not helpful but also extremely knowledgeable in all the locations we went to. I would definitely book this trip again the the future!

Excellent service from our tour guide! - We had an absolutely incredible day exploring the waterfalls in Kerala, and it was all thanks to our amazing tour guide, Gokul M. From start to finish, he was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience, showing incredible flexibility and making the whole day feel seamless and enjoyable. The car was spotless, comfortable, and very reliable, making travel between sites effortless. His passion for the area and dedication to our experience truly stood out. We cannot recommend him highly enough—if you want a knowledgeable, caring, and professional guide, he is the one! Five stars all the way!

Two thumbs up - Gokul was an excellent and super chill guide. The waterfalls were beautiful as well as the nature surrounding them. Gokuk took me to a delicious fish restaurant where I got the chance to eat like a local, highly recommend

A nice day... - I had a friendly and attentive driver. He always responded to my wishes. He also knew a lot to tell. The ride was great, the waterfalls a dream. The landscape in the hinterland of the coast is worth a trip of its own. I've recorded this for myself before ☺️ Thanks again to my driver for this beautiful tour!

Athirapally falls - Our day trip was nothing short of amazing. Sooraj was our tour guide and gave us the best experience. On our way to the waterfalls I mentioned my love for sweets so he did a pit stop at a local chip & bakery. Our next stop was the hanging bridge and gardens. The gardens were extra special filled with hundreds and hundreds of butterflies. We then drove on to the waterfalls. They were breathtaking. After our long travels we were hoping to hike and get in some walking. At athirapally you walk down rock steps to see the full view of the waterfall, wear good shoes!! I almost started the day in flip flops and switches to water shoes last minute, best decision. We took so many photos along the way. Unfortunately we are here for a wedding and had to cut the day short skipping the beach but the waterfalls alone were worth this trip. Thank you so much Sooraj for a wonderful day!!!

Bsd Experience - The tickets that were supposedly included in our Viator package were not accepted at either waterfall we visited. Don’t trust Viator because they do not stand behind what they advertise. They would not even refund the amount I paid for the tickets so in essence I double paid.
