It was a great experience. The food was quite delicious and the staff extremely professional and customer service oriented. The quantity of the food was too much and we couldn’t touch more than 4/5 items. Overall a more than memorable experience and will definitely recommend choosing their services.

Kumarakom Houseboats is an experience of a relaxing cruise on the Vembanad backwaters combined with great tasting Kerala style food(with karimeen fry) and service by the staff on board. Right from the time of the booking, the owner was courteous and provided the detailed itinerary with pictures of the boat and the menu on board. We were also given the option of selecting additional items on the menu like crab roast (as long as we paid extra). The food on board was not only delicious, the quantity was more than sufficient for a 5 person group. We paid an advance on the day before the cruise as part of the booking process(about half the price of the day trip 11 am to 4 pm) and the remainder on the day of the trip. The cruise took us through a narrow canal with houses on either side for the first hour and then to the vast Vembanad Lake for the remainder of the trip. We also stopped in between where we bought some crab which we were able to give to the staff and they cooked it for lunch. The backwaters are beautiful with a lot of greenery around as well as resorts. I would highly recommend Kumarakom Houseboats for a day trip.
