It was a great experience. You can feel calm on a boat without an engine. I was also able to experience the traditional food of Kerala. The guides were also very kind and considerate of various things.

We really enjoyed the trip with Meera & Shaji. Meera was extremely knowledgable about everything. We loved the sights & sounds on the canoe boat, seeing children playing in the water who were happy to wave at us for a photo opportunity. The sunset cruise was beautiful, we enjoyed tea and banana frittata’s along the way. Meera offered to take lovely photos of my friends & I so we would have a lasting memory to look back on. The day was ended with a delicious meal of various curries which we all thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Shaji & Meera as guides, they could not do enough for us.

Wonderful tour with a super nice guide called Arya! Thank you for unforgettable views on the very relaxing boat trip. The food served during the break was very tasty. One highlight was the Malayalam song, which was sung by Arya for us!

Good experience for people who like being outdoors/in nature. The two tour guides Mira and Shajahan are very open-minded allowing all sorts of questions which helped me to get a better glimpse on the local culture, including critical topics. Both kept offering to take photos of me, including some nice shots with the sunset. Finally, the tour ended with a delicious dinner (local food) and lots of laughters.
