Kerala Kayaking - Canoe & kayak tour agency in Alappuzha, Mullakkal - Alappuzha, India

We had an excellent time on the 7 hour kayaking tour, with Samson as our guide. He was very friendly, attentive, and had boundless knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area! He was telling us all about the different birds and fruit trees all around us. He was a great guide and took us around some beautiful parts of the backwaters. We did a mix of kayaking and motoring on the Shikara, which was great for allowing breaks between kayaking sessions. Included in the price was a decent enough breakfast and lunch.

Excellente experience de kayak dans les backwaters de Kerala, dont des petits canaux inaccessibles aux gros bateaux. On peut observer la vie des gens qui habitent ce fabuleux environnement aquatique et tropical. Nous avons ete emerveilles par la variete et par le nombre d'oiseaux qui sillonnent la zone. Pause petit dejeuner apres 1h30 de kayak, et ca repart pour 1h30 jusqu'au point d'arrivee, ou un bateau a moteur nous ramene au depart dans une belle promenade aquatique, parfaite pour se reposer apres quelques efforts. Merci a notre guide pour son ouverture d'esprit et son professionalisme.

Great day out with Kerela Kayaking! Samson is a great guide and tailor makes the day for you. He's full of fascinating info about the waterways, wildlife, plant life and all things Kerela and India in general. On the Kayaks you get to explore the smallest of backwaters and really see local life. We stopped for a delicious lunch at a small restaurant on the waterways and then later on in the afternoon some great snacks. A motorboat meets you along the way to give you a break from the kayaking and the sun and heat which is a great touch. Would highly recommend a tour with these guys! We had a great day and again Samson is a credit to the tour

I had read a lot of reviews for kerala kayaking (Mr. Samson is the guide). We had taken an early morning tour at 6:30 am. When you go make sure you wear clothes that dry quickly and avoid exposing body. Samson is one experienced man and he is such an excellent tour organiser. He took us through the narrowest of backwaters possible. We got to see the parts of Alleppey that cannot be seen by road. Women washing their laundary, Children having their morning bath, birds fishing, houseboats going by. backwaters, wide, small, busy, deserted.. you will have a taste of it all. We were provided with breakfast (included in the package of 2000 per head, and they provide the pick-up and drop too) at a local place. It was too small, you cannot even call it an eatery but the breakfast was great. Everything about the tour is local. It drips culture. We enjoyed every bit of it. If you are reading this Samson, You are doing an awesome job out there. The only sad part I found was there was not one Indian on the tour apart from us. People around the world come and seek such adventures on our land and we remain ignorant. PS: You will find it physically tough to row in the beginning if you have never done kayaking before but it is a 4 hour long tour and you will get used to it in a short time and start enjoying so much

The experience was wonderful, great to see the backwaters from the kayak. We were picked up on time for the morning sunrise trip and taken to the location for the activity. We felt safe with Sam, he is very experienced and knowledgable of the local area. He provided good nuggets of information of the areas we kayaked around, wildlife and plants/trees. We would recommend this activity for those who want a more personal experience of the backwaters compared to doing the houseboats and for those who aren't afraid of doing some exercise. It is a better environmentally friendly way to experience the backwaters too! Improvements: their website could be updated, a quick health and safety talk prior to jumping in the kayaks may have been useful & that gentle arms stretches prior to starting the activity would have been useful :)

Fantastic experience. We took the 11-6pm kayaking trip and it was amazing. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about local culture and wildlife - the kayaking routes we took were all incredible ... really small little canals full of village life. My wife and 4 year old son came along too and all thoroughly enjoyed it although they did opt to rest in the support boat for one of the trips. We all agreed this was the best thing we'd done in India during the whole holiday.

One of the best experiences of Kayaking provided by them. I enjoyed the environment, greenery and commentary of Samson. I am so happy to have done it in life and look at the sunset early morning. Definitely worth doing in life

Kayaking through the kerela backwaters offers a real insight into the daily life in backwaters. The company offers two type of kayaking packages; a four hour tour and a 7 hour tour. We did the four hour tour. Kayaking through the small canals offers a insight of the local life in backwaters that can't be experienced in a big boat. The tour guide is a very nice guy, very helpful and friendly. You also get to have breakfast at a local restaurant which is a very good experience.
