Key Highlights of Private Houseboat Backwater Day Cruise of Alleppey:
Around 9:00 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel in Kochi and transfer you to the enchanting backwaters of Alleppey, often referred to as the "Venice of the East." Alleppey is famous for its intricate network of canals, serene lagoons, and lush green landscapes. This picturesque town is the heart of Kerala’s backwater tourism, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of the region.
Upon arrival, you'll check into a private houseboat for a relaxing day cruise. These floating villas offer an intimate way to experience the backwaters, as you drift past stunning scenes of daily life – from Chinese fishing nets dipping into the water to endless stretches of swaying coconut palms. You'll also catch glimpses of rustic homes, ancient temples, and villagers working on coir products, all set against the backdrop of lush paddy fields.
As the day draws to a close, we will transfer you back to your hotel in Kochi, ensuring a peaceful end to your unforgettable Alleppey backwater experience.
The tour cost includes all transportation expenses, including tolls, parking, driver allowances, and applicable charges.
These thoughtfully included experiences add extra comfort and convenience to your journey, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable travel experience.

The ratings are given in the context of the price we paid which was extremely reasonable for the attentive service we were given. We were looked after at all times including being dropped off onto our correct train carriage in Delhi. The itinerary was full but not rushed. I would use Alkof tours again and recommend them to others. Read more

We had to alter our plans and extended the tour for 2 more days. From second day we started our sightseeing of Delhi, next day visited Agra, then Fatehpur Sikri and then Jaipur. The driver and the local guides were punctual, polite, and worked very hard to make our trip enjoyable. Sachin made sure we saw everything on our bucket list. I recommend Alkof Holidays, thank you so much. Read more
