Morning Cruise in Alleppey: Relaxed Backwater Rides from 9 AM
Not everyone wants a 6 AM alarm on holiday. Our morning cruises in Alleppey start at 9 AM, so you can have a slow breakfast at your hotel, then head out on the water when the backwaters are bright and busy with village life.
Choose a private houseboat, a traditional shikara, a canoe or a kayak, and cruise through Vembanad Lake, Punnamada Lake and the quiet village canals.
