When we arrived in Kollam near the boat we were kindly accompanied by Shyju who bought us some Chai, showed us the boat and introduced us to the crew; Remanan as captain, Joy as cook and Telesphar boat engineer. The crew was so nice and really took care of us. Remanan let us sit behind the wheel for a moment! And Joy prepared an amazing lunch, diner and breakfast for us, with typical kerala cuisine, yumm! We stayed on the boat for 1 night, and coverd Ashtamudi lake, Kallada river and Munroe Island. At Munroe island we left the boat for a tour through the smaller backwaters on a smaller boat. This was really beautiful, but make sure to bring anti mosquito repellant! ;) Around 5PM all recreational boats need to dock, because the fishermen go to work on the waters. Joy took us for a walk in the area where we saw a really beautiful church and visited an intimate hindu temple. In the evening we enjoyed some card games we brought ourselves on deck. The boat itself was really comfortable, with AC in bedroom during the night, which worked really well! There was also a mosquito net over the bed. On deck there is a large diner table to eat, 2 large comfortable lounge chairs and on the side there are soft cushions to lie down while enjoying the amazing view of the backwaters. There are also bluetooth speakers available on the boat, so you can play your own music. It was a really beautiful experience!

Excellent tour! The boat was nice the food was amazing & we got to take a small boat through the narrow backwaters. I highly recommend this cruise. The staff was so friendly & accommodating. They were very clear and prompt with communication & did I mention the food? So good! Would do it again.

“I recently enjoyed an incredible houseboat trip, and I cannot recommend it enough! The entire experience was outstanding, from start to finish. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The meals were delicious and well-prepared, truly adding to the overall experience. A special thanks to our guide, Shyjuu, who was excellent throughout the trip. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made the journey even more enjoyable. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality—I look forward to returning!”

Memorable and good boathouse experience. The service is excellent. All the meals are freshly prepared by the chef and taste superb. If you love to explore more, you must go to the Canoe ride in the island. Very adventurous experience. Thumbs up❤️

We wee a group of 21 persons set out for 6 hours day cruise on 13th September 2024. Excellent, knowledgeable, helpful and well mannered crew and staff. In fact Mr Shyju the booking manager suggested booking with a token amount and group finalization could be confirmed as late as 1 day prior to departure date. This advise saved us money since people are known to walk in and out when it is a group tour. Would recommend this company to others. If there are more people take a bigger boat

20/08 was my son’s birthday. Mr Shyju S. V and staff of Southern Backwaters’ house boat made it a memorable one. Will always suggest this to my friends and relatives. The boat was sublime and the staff were awesome. Even-though the food was familiar to us, the taste was extraordinary. Thank you to the Southern Backwaters team for today from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all my family and friends.
