The special features of this package are:

Bird Watching:

Herons, egrets, kingfishers, owls and cormorant are just a few names of the many beautiful birds that you can see around the Kumarakom Backwaters. Infact, the quiet atmosphere draws in the birds from other places. We can get binoculars on board upon request if you would like to get a closer view of the birds. A beautiful way to see these amazing birds is by going on a sunset cruise. It's like a painting coming to life.

Authentic Kerala Snacks:

After a long canoe trip, you might get hungry. During the trip, you'll get snacks and tea or coffee. We are sure that you will love them.

Watching the Casting of Fishing Nets:

When you go on a sunset cruise, you might catch a glimpse of the local fishermen at their work. Although most fishing activities occur after the nightfall, but there might be a chance for you to see them casting their nets. You'll be amazed at how well the fishermen are able to throw a net into the water. If your camera lets you, take a video of the event in slow motion.

Sunset View:

At the end of your trip, you'll be able to see a beautiful sunset over the open lake. Some soothing music could be a nice addition to the picture and make the whole thing even better. Canoeing through this natural scenery might only happen once in a lifetime. 

The sunset cruise in the traditional wooden canoe is a one-of-a-kind experience. It makes you feel like you are in a painting. What a great way to end the day with beautiful birds, tasty snacks, a view of the sunset, and peaceful backwaters!
