Sunset Cruise with Village Life and Local Food

Detailed Itinerary

The Canoe Kerala dock in Kumarakom serves as the check-in site for the sunset cruise. Our guide will take you to the canoe after giving you a few safety tips and vests. The cruise lasts about three hours, and the total experience will be for around 5 hours, including dinner. We are sure that your canoe trip will be memorable for you. 

Our cruise experience is a Responsible Tourism initiative where we empower our local community by boosting the local economy. Our canoe operators are local experts who are not trained as professional guides. They have a deep knowledge about the local neighborhood but not much about the world beyond that.

Highlights of this package include:

Watching the Casting of Fishing Nets:

When you take a sunset cruise, you might get a chance to view the local fishers at work. You'll be impressed by the level of proficiency of the fishers in casting a net into the water. If your camera allows it, take a slow-motion video of the event.

Bird Watching:

Many lovely birds may be found in and around Kumarakom, including herons, owls, and cormorants. If you want to see them up close, bring your binoculars. Taking a sunset cruise is a beautiful way to catch a glimpse of these awe-inspiring birds. It's like watching a painting come to life!

Authentic Kerala Snacks:

You might go hungry after a long canoe ride. You'll be treated to locally sourced refreshments and tea or coffee during the trip. We're sure you'll be delighted with them.

Sunset View:

Your trip will conclude with a breathtaking sunset view on the open lake. Some calming music might be great to enhance the picture and make the experience even better. Canoeing across this stunning landscape can be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Kerala Traditional Dinner:

You will get ready for a full-fledged authentic Kerala style dinner. The dining will be private, and the menus will be exclusively for you. It is a refreshing break from the continental cuisines you used to have. 

On the classic wooden canoe, the sunset cruise is a unique experience. It feels like you're part of a painting. What a fantastic way to conclude the day: colourful birds, delicious food, sunset views, dinner, and peaceful backwaters!
