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 :)

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

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.

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.

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

Kayaking in the backwaters of Kerala is hands down one of the best experiences I've had in India. You get access to the quiet canals of the backwaters which are inaccessible to the houseboats and thereby get a completely different experience. Our guide Samson had excellent knowledge about the area, the animals and life in general. Can only recommend!

We had a great full day tour today with Kerala kayaking. Kayaked some very narrow secluded backwater, combined with stretches on the more common waterways on their very comfortable boat. Guide was of much added value to teach us about nature and local customs. We would recommend this very much, a great alternative to the busy and expensive live a boards!!!

The tour itself is a good idea if you want to catch a glimpse of the more intimate life of the locals inhabiting the backwaters. Indeed the smaller canals cannot fit the abominable houseboats and are so much quieter. A shikkara boat will follow you around and there will be snacks and lunch provided. The tour guide himself, Samson, is very knowledgeable about the surroundings and open-minded who can easily hold a quality conversation on any topic regarding Indian culture. Would 100% recommend!
