Loved the houseboat cruise! The backwaters are serene and beautiful. Food was amazing. Only suggestion - more clarity on the cruise route would help. Otherwise, wonderful experience.
A truly unique experience that you won't find anywhere else in the world. The houseboat was comfortable, the crew was friendly, and the views were incredible. Kerala fish curry for dinner was the best!
Our honeymoon was made perfect by this houseboat experience! Floating through the backwaters, watching village life, and sleeping under the stars - absolutely romantic. The food was authentic Kerala cuisine!
