Alleppey Ferry and Boat Tours

I would definitely recommend boat trips and tours in Alleppey to anyone who wants to get the most out of their vacation.

Whether you’re going to Alleppey or Kumarakom for a day or staying longer, you can hop on a boat, relax, and head to your favourite place, like Kumarakom, Vembanad Lake, Punnamada, Thaneermukham, Kuttanadu, or one of the reclaimed paddy fields on the shores of Vembanad Lake.

There are two main kinds of boat tours: public and private. You can pick the experience you want based on your needs, such as how much time and money you have.

Private Boat Tours

When you have a driver at your disposal, you have the opportunity to decide on the most enjoyable route to take and the total duration of your cruise. The ideal way to enjoy the beauty of Lake Vembanad on your own time.
