Kayaking in the Paravur Backwaters near Varkala — Adventure things to do in Trivandrum

Two-hour kayaking session through 10 km of mangroves and backwaters, including visits to Chithan Thampuran Temple Island and a railway bridge.

This two-hour guided kayaking tour takes you through the Paravur Backwaters, featuring a unique 10 km route that transitions from saltwater to freshwater. Setting off from a small sandbar between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters, you'll paddle under a railway bridge and explore the mangrove forests, navigating various tunnels and canals.

The area is safe, with shallow waters that generally do not exceed 10 feet in depth. Along the way, you'll stop at the Chithan Thampuran Temple Island and other notable spots like the Black Devil Snail Sandbar Islands. A good time to wear comfortable clothing suited for water activities and bring a hat for sun protection.
