I would highly recommend this place for booking a backwater boat tour. The boat is very spacious and comfortable. It can fit in 10 people. The boat driver is also genuine person.

I would like to rate at 4.5 but didnt have an option. We were a group of 11. Reached out to Nadheesh and he was very receptive and very keen to accommodate our ever changing time as we’re travelling from Munnar. The boat was simple and good. Could have helped with couple of more chairs. Value for money if you want a 1.5hrs cruise in Kumarakom lake.

The boat ride was so amazing and hassle free. Nitish, our boat driver , took us into canals and stopped on request whenever we wanted. He also got us fresh coconuts from the tree on the way. We had a very pleasant ride and highly recommend it.

The cruise was a very enjoyable experience. The guide Nafiz was very pleasant and accommodating person. He also managed to arrange our pick up and drop back to the hotel by a rickshaw. I will strongly recommend him and would like to use his services again.

Excellent boat ride through village backwaters, rice paddies, saw lot of birds, and then to main lake with fantastic sunset view. Along with boat ride Nadeesh had good knowledge of birds etc. Very few tourists take this route through nature. This ride was one of the best experiences in our Kerala tour.

The boat was clean and beautiful to look at. The owner Nadeesh gave us lovely leisurely ride through the backwaters. He was very punctual and polite too. Overall a good experience.
