Kerala Backwater Cruise
The backwaters of Kerala are a chain of lagoons, canals and lakes across the Arabian Sea coast in South West India that are fantastic to visit. Also known as the Malabar Coast, these canals link five great lakes and about thirty eight rivers. The waters are full of houseboat cruises, from simple to luxurious boats.
A journey on a Kerala houseboat is an unforgettable experience, with over 900 km of interconnected waterways running through lakes, rivers, and trees.
Cruising through these backwaters is a celebration of beautiful landscapes, colorful villages across the coastline, and a unique ecosystem.
Fresh water from the rivers mingle with salt water from the sea creating a rich aquatic life full of turtles, frogs, crabs, kingfishers, mudskippers, and water birds. Leafy plants, trees and shrubs are also part of the Kerala backwater cruise landscape. Use the opportunity to explore some of India’s longest lakes, largest canals, and scenic outlets to the Arabian Sea. From Ernakulam to Kottayam, Alleppey, and Kochi anyone who visits this place will be spoilt for choice when deciding on what to do on a Kerala backwater cruise.
