We had an amazing day, starting at sunrise with a boat trip through the backwaters with Sanu, stopping for tea at a local shop and finding a wide variety of birds. After a couple of hours we returned to their base for a delicious Kerala style breakfast prepared by Jess. We then went shopping with Jess in local markets to buy supplies for lunch. Jess is an accomplished chef and guided us through preparation of a superb lunch. He is passionate about preserving Kerala food traditions. After lunch, late afternoon, we headed out on the boat and visited a number of local artisans and to watch the sunset over the lake. Unfortunately a storm came up that cut short our sunset trip. These guys run a great operation and have a well organized website. The location is beautiful and they also have a villa for overnight accommodation. HIghly recommended.

This is an extraordinary tour of the backwaters that takes you in the opposite direction of all the other tours. Indeed, I didn’t see another tourist for the first 8 hours of the excursion. Sanu was very kind and adjusted the tour to fit my interests. The breakfast at the beginning and the lunch at the end were both delicious, the best food I ate while in India for over 3 weeks.

We were worried that an entire day on the Backwaters would be too much. We were also concerned that it would be very touristy because we'd read reports of so many houseboats. Instead we were blown away. We had an absolutely brilliant day. It was a great call to do the full day trip because it allowed us to travel far away from the tourist houseboats on little canals. In fact we only saw one other tourist boat the entire day. It was a splendid day on the backwaters expertly navigated by Sanu, taking in as much local colour and natural wonder you can soak up in a day. It's a pleasant temperature on the water with a breeze from the boat movement. We got a real taste for village life, we saw lots of birds, were fed delicious food, Sanu sourced beers for us when we were thirsty - our every requirement was anticipated and provided for. What a treat. A real find and we think the very best way to experience the Backwaters! We stayed at Little Chembaka before and after the trip and this really is a special spot!!!

We enjoyed every second during our stay .We felt like it was a very private full day trip with village life. We saw the sun rise and the sun set tasting local food. We were encouraged to watch how local dishes were made and have an enjoyable conversation. We are very thankful for this experience!

This was a perfect day out, and nothing was too much trouble. The lovely small boat easily accommodated our family of four for a private tour of the backwaters and the canals. It is very professional, and highly recommend this tour company. we booked the half-day excursion (6hrs ), which included local craftsmanship demonstrations and a gorgeous lunch, hosted and made fresh in the cooking class demonstration. the best food, simply delicious. we en We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity so much that we added a couple of hours on. Sanu called ahead, collected some fresh cold beers, and sailed out onto the lake to watch the sunset.
