Matsyafed Malipuram Fish Farm-Aqua Tourism - Tourist attraction in Kochi - Ernakulam, India

It's a quaint place to witness a bit of marine milk fish aka poomeen aka chanos chanos jumping out of the water as the 7 seater motorboat makes way through the water disturbing their afternoon siesta, yes quiet a few jumps were seen, I had the personal pleasure of having a few hit me in the face and plop onto the boat itself where they fluttered about before they were caught by the expert hands of the boatman and yours truly and flung back to their home. I'll admit the amenities are a bit lacking and run by a small staff of overworked but truly graceful women who prepared a pretty rustic and not so terribly spicy(I can't handle spicy food, I know I should lose my citizenship for that disability lol) fish thali (meal) with a side of whatever seafood they have in stock (They will take special meal requests if paid in advance) vegans....don't bother you're going moan about it anyways so find something better elsewhere. Honestly this place has potential, if they charged a higher ticket rate and developed it further, Also, I don't see why people moan about pricing here, it was far below reasonable and affordable even to the economically far weaker sections of society. Also come here during the working weekdays where it's empty and avoid holidays, unless you like overcrowded human cesspools.

This is the worst place I have ever been. There is no facility of any kind .. the bathroom is so bad that you can't even look at it. Similarly, they spend more money without even having a place to sit out of the sun. The boats we use here are in a dangerous condition due to lack of proper maintenance. Also, if you want to use the poor facilities, you need to make a booking etc. I pray that no one in their life should ever go and spend time here. Waste of your money and time. The only good thing here is the food.

A place that can be a good tourist attraction if approached a little more professionally. Fishing and pedal boating facilities are available here. A lunch of traditional rice, fish fry and fish curry is available from the farm's small restaurant. More dishes will be prepared if inform them earlier. It is disappointing that the farm and the adjoining mangrove park do not receive enough attention.

Very bad place.Entry fee for holidays is Rs 300.There is nothing to see and enjoy. The pedal is boat-free, but the only downside is that it's worth the wait. Because he only has two pedal boats. Neither I nor my family liked it. All I can say is that no one is going to come here.....

Very good place for a one day tour... 250 per person, which includes paddleboat and lunch/food. On paying 100 Rs extra, you are taken on a boat wherein you see fish jumping. The fishes jump right into the boat and is lovely to watch.. Overall good place.

A great place for a day out. You get to do rowing, pedal boating, see meen chattam (jumping fish), have tea and snacks, lunch, do fishing and just chill. There's a beach within walkable distance too. Great fir families and kids will love the beach. Not too crowded unlike other beaches.

Good things: Staff are nice helpful and friendly Boat ride for pedal boat and fish jumping was fun Bad things: Usual govt setup.. no proper directions .. no clear sign boards,, bad roads . No security for parking or help outside gate.. hope something is maintained inside d centre . No English boards about packages or pamhlets.. strange it's tourist place..? How tourists will understand malayalam..? pathway going inside to bridge blocked with metals.. some construction work Badly maintained forest area.. not cleaned plastics from waterbed for years kinda situation, Sign boards broken. Not kid safety near boating area.. restuarant was average.. so skipped it

The best place to spend a day. This place provides the facilities to spend your day and make it a memorable one. Last time we visited,the road to reach this place was under construction.It was difficult to drive the car through that road as it was flooded too. You have to buy tickets before entering. There are different packages and the cost also varies. There is boating facilities( pedal boat) through mangroves and in the fish farm we have rowing boat. There are different activities like fishing, boating and also to watch "meenchattam". It was a good experience to see fish jump, but should be careful as they might jump on us.In the package they provide tea, a snack(pazhampori) and lunch. The lunch is tasty and the prawns pickle tastes awesome. Along with this, you can even order other things like crabs, prawns,kakka and even chicken and beef items are available which are at afforable rates. After this you can even visit the beach nearby, Malipuram Beach. Its not tha tsafe to go alone to that beach as its kind of abandoned area. There are trees,similar to kuzhippily beach , where you can chill and enjoy( please go in grps for safety).
