Backwater cruise and village tour from Kochi — Water & beach things to do in Kochi

Four hours on a non-motorised boat through villages, including a village walk, local spice plants, and coir rope-making demonstration.

This half-day backwater cruise explores the tranquil waterways around Kochi. You'll start with a three-hour journey on a covered, non-motorised boat, gliding through picturesque villages. Along the way, there will be a short village walk to absorb local life and spot some spice plants that thrive in the area.

Following lunch, the tour continues with a one-hour open canoe cruise through the narrow canals. You'll return to a village house where you'll enjoy tea or coffee and witness demonstrations of coir rope-making and coconut leaf weaving. Transport back to Kochi is provided by car or van.
