Guest stories
Real moments from Kumarakom cruises — slow houseboat afternoons, canal-side shikkara rides, and the calm that stays with you after the boat docks.
“The houseboat moved so slowly through the lagoon that we forgot to check our phones. Evening light on the water was the highlight of our Kerala trip.”
Priya, Bengaluru
Houseboat“We wanted something intimate for our anniversary and the shikkara was perfect. Narrow canals, quiet villages, and the team knew exactly where to pause for photos.”
Arjun & Meera, Kochi
Shikkara Boat“Fast, fun, and still felt safe. The speed boat covered more of the lake than we expected in one morning — great for a group that did not want a slow cruise.”
Rahul, Mumbai
Speed Boat“Travelled with parents and two kids. The motor boat had shade, easy boarding, and flexible timing. WhatsApp booking made the whole thing straightforward.”
Lakshmi, Chennai
Motor Boat“The country boat felt like the most local experience — gentle pace, birds along the edges, and none of the rush you get at busier tourist spots.”
Thomas, London
Country Boat“Booked the houseboat for a family lunch cruise. Food arrived on board, the route was calm, and the crew answered every question about Kumarakom without pushing extras.”
Anita, Hyderabad
Houseboat“Shikkara at sunrise was worth the early start. Mist on the water, coconut palms, and a guide who let us enjoy the silence instead of talking the whole way.”
Vikram, Pune
Shikkara Boat“Clear communication on WhatsApp from the first message to the dock. We compared boat types easily and picked the motor boat — exactly what we needed.”
Sneha, Delhi
