Beautiful scenery and sunset

eavan_m, Oct 2025

The young guides spent the whole time at the front chatting to each other or on their phones. They glanced back approx 3-4 times in total to check we were there, but weren’t really bothered about anyone’s safety. Seeing the sunrise was spectacular so I’d recommend that, but you can do it in several places. Some moments were ruined by one guide talking so loudly on his phone. The scenery is beautiful so I’d still recommend the trip, but it would be helpful if the guides could act a bit more like they’re doing a paid job. They might also get some tips.

Highly recommended, highlight of our trip

Shauna_S, May 2024

We loved the sunrise kayaking experience and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Alleppey. A really great experience seeing the backwaters coming to life as the sun rises. We felt very safe at all times with our guide who was really nice and got to stop for a coffee halfway through the trip.
