The whole experience was superb. The guide as well as the locals who helped and the 4 other participants of the tour were lovely and created a positive vibe.
My personal highlight was to see a snake in the jungle once we went with the open roof boat into the more narrow canal. Second highlight for me was the traditional lunch the locals served us on a banana leave.

It was amazing very peaceful experience. Best is if getting a boat without motor, as cruising in that case is really pure meditation. Lunch was also very tasteful.
Only thing I did not like is that we were too many on one boat.

The full day backwaters tour from Kochi which was somewhat disappointing. The boat rides were nice but we got zero information on the area, people, history etc. Just a joy ride in silence. The lunch was very good and we got a brief demonstration of how the locals use palms to build roofs. Overall it wasn’t worth the money.

The good- Overall experience of seeing the backwaters was good. Our driver Justin was just excellent. From picking us up at the cruise terminal he explained everything there was to see along the route. The backwaters was good as it is full
Of nature and natural habitation. The home cooked food was very good and tasty.
The Bad - the boat host could do so much more to make it an excursion. He simply sat like a king at the back of the boat and spoke to the two rowers in local dialect. He basically ignored the passengers who just became bored of the whole experience. On an excursion there need to be some sort of explanations of what you are seeing else it’s like paddling your own canoe. lol
