4.9 stars on Google · 5,000+ verified reviews · Nedungolam, Paravur, Kollam
"Came with my family on a Sunday morning. The kayaking through the mangrove canal was about 45 minutes and well-managed. Guide explained the tree species and pointed out birds we would have missed. Life jackets were provided without being asked. Will return."
— Arun Menon
Thiruvananthapuram
"Pre-booked online the night before, got the 25% discount, and everything was exactly as described. The coracle ride was the highlight — stable, peaceful, and very different from anything else we have done in Kerala."
— Divya R.
Bangalore
"Organised a group of 14 people here. The team handled it well — split into two boats, started on time, no waiting around. Pricing was clear and there were no add-on charges at the venue. Would recommend to anyone doing a day trip from Kollam."
— Thomas Varghese
Kochi
"We went for the ATV and country boat combo. The ATV track is well-maintained and safe. Country boat felt very authentic — not a tourist boat, an actual traditional vessel. The staff were helpful and spoke English. Solid experience."
— Yasmin K.
