Eco Trails - Houseboat cruise in Kerala Backwaters

WernerRating, 5 stars17 months ago

Biju and Sudi (sp?) looked after us on the houseboat and were absolute legends, always helpful, making snacks or opening beers for us. The food they made was out of this world and we had a wonderful time. 2 nights was perfect to soak in the surroundings. Kence arranged everything for us, even a taxi back to the airport. My favourite part of the trip was when we stopped at local fish markets and I had the opportunity to buy tiger prawns or crayfish that Biju would then whip up into something delicious!

Sreekrishna's 3bedroom Ac houseboat with all meals

HannahRating, 5 stars18 months ago

My three friends and I had a great time on Joseph’s houseboat. It was peaceful with beautiful views of the backwaters. The food was delicious and the staff was kind and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the AC was very helpful in the hot weather. They had asked if we would be willing to share the boat with one other couple, which ended up working out quite well - we enjoyed their company to pass the time on the houseboat. I recommend this experience to others!

Angel Backwaters 2 Bedroom -Deluxe Alleppey Round

SalinRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Me, my wife and my friend stayed for a night in a 2 bedroom houseboat and it was amazing. We absolutely fell in love with the place. The food, cooked in the boat itself, was true to the traditional Kerala cuisine and was exquisite. Taste and spice can be edited based on our requirement and they did a great job. Would definitely recommend this.

Spice Routes Houseboats - Pepper

The experience of cruising through the backwaters on the houseboat was relaxing. The food was well-prepared and the staff was very attentive. I wish we had more time to cruise through the backwaters, though, as that didn't really last long enough.

Spice Routes Houseboats - Tamarind

One of the best houseboats I have ever been to. Rojes's luxury houseboats are one of its kind. From the start, the experience has been positive. Rojes made sure we were informed at all times. As we were a big family, the team came to receive us and helped with our luggage. The rooms are no less than a 5 star hotel rooms. The service was exceptional. The staff made sure we were looked after 24/7. We wanted to eat crabs for dinner so they stopped at a small village and bought it for us and prepared for dinner. It was my husband's birthday so they organised the cake and everything. we couldnt have asked for a better family reunion. I will definitely be booking this again and this time for 2 days.
