The one day Back water cruise was excellent. Beautiful day to simply hang out and take in the sites. I liked that we were picked up from our hotel and then driven to the cruise. The on board staff were pleasant and cooked us a delicious meal. I would definitely recommend this Back water day cruise to others.

We were not aware the cab would pick us at 6am and ended up leaving at 7:15 drive to allepey was long reaching the boat at 11:30 service and lunch was good, no tea.
Boat house was short, only 2.5 hours we were taken to allepey hotel by 2:30
