Beautiful and wellmaintained houseboat - elegant and simple interior. Service onboard was impeccable and the freshly prepared meals were all delicious. From the grilled spotted tailfish to the banana-curry, tasty salads and chilimarinated kingprawns to the freshly squeezed pineapple juice we had for breakfast along with our perfectly cooked masala-omellettes, ricenoodles and coconut vegetables plus lots of fresh fruit. The smiling and discrere staff made us feel at home from the moment we entered the boat and one of them told us some interesting facts about the backwaters. The scenery at Aleppey backwaters is out of this world and getting to take it all in onboard a small private houseboat driven by a very professional team was a once in a lifetime experience for me and my parents.

We are a couple and went to Alappuzha/Alleppey and asked our host for a boattrip. Fortunately we found Jose Kalappura, he organized a convenient tailormade experience on two private traditional boats with modern facilities. We were lucky, because beforhand we didn't know the difference between cheaper tours on big boats vs. smaller boats with individual trip and different private experience. We startet with a tour on a small boat and went through smaller channels having local Breakfast, bigger boats can't pass there. Ad 12:00 we skipped on a different boat with private panoramic area on the first floor. We where alone, a really romantic trip. Having typical local fresh Lunch cooked on board by a chef, we stopped on the course for sightseeing. After a slow trip on a quite channel we could see a beautyful sunset and we had Dinner. We had a good Night in a full equipped clean room as we would expect in a city hotel. Our Captain found a good spot away from the busy areas where we enjoyed a beautyful sunrise. After a local Breakfast we left the boat with a big smile because of this outstanding experience. Thanks again to Jose and the Crew.

The houseboat is just beautiful and we moored at a very quiet peaceful village. The cruise back in the early morning was magical. Crew were so friendly and helpful. Opportunities for side trip on a small boat and a village massage added interest too.
