Lovely half day on Muvattupuzha river - We had a lovely half day trip along the river with Arya as our guide. It was incredibly peaceful and great to learn more about Keralan culture and nature. Arya was very knowledgeable about the many different plants and birds that we saw. Would happily recommend to a friend!

USA Family of 4 - Good time, worth it, do it. - There was Major Confustion about where to meet. We took Taxi to office, nobody was there, then we tried to get to the "Cruise Terminal" which ended up being a secure military base at the rivers edge. Total Fiasco. Make sure you have the Tour owners Cell phone before you leave. In the end they really tried to please! very nice people, romantic and relaxing boat ride. We did not like the lunch served at the riverside retreat center, it looked good but we are very tired of rice and spicy wet food. the chairs on the boat were flimsy and I almost broke it but the lady tour guides were very nice and helpful. My family of 4 was happy. We did not stay for the ending with Canoes, we were too tired by then. The 1/2 day is enough, I would not pay more for full day, the experience is good in 1/2 day. learned a lot about how they make Rope from coconut husks, learned about flowers, Lotus's, very nice day. I would do it again.
