So sweet and kind, knowledgeable, patient — he made it so that this experience was perfectly smooth, we never felt rushed or like we missed out on anything that we passed by. Cannot recommend this day trip enough, from communicating with the operator over the viator app, to being picked up and dropped off at our hotel; everything was great!”

5.Cochin: Full-day Backwater Tour with Lunch and Evening Tea

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 9 reviews · 3 hours · from $26

From Fort Kochi, you travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Kerala’s backwaters, then cruise by quiet traditional boat and open canoe. You’ll see coir making, coconut leaf weaving, and mussel processing, eat a local vegetarian lunch on a banana leaf, and finish with tea and snacks. English guiding is included.

“Bardzo relaksująca i pełna rozmaitych atrakcji wycieczka. Rozlewiska to piękne miejsce i aż żal było schodzić z łódki na ląd. Lunch przyrządzony i podany przez lokalnych mieszkańców był pyszny, wszyscy bardzo życzliwi. Wycieczka była dobrze zorganizowana a organizator był w stałym kontakcie. Jedyny zarzut mam do przewodnika. Mówił bardzo szybko, bardzo niewyraźnie i miałem wrażenie że powtarza wyuczone na pamięć regułki. Niewiele się dowiedziałem bo niewiele zrozumiałem. Ale generalnie polecam”
