Reviews
What a fantastic experience! Had always wanted to kayak through the Alleppey backwaters and thanks to Nadodi Kayaking, I had just the best time ✨.
We took the sunrise tour which started with the pickup from our hotel at 5am. It was completely dark and the sky was full with stars. Even spotted a beautiful & bright shooting star!! 🌠
We began to kayak around 5:30am and it was lovely to go through the quiet backwaters crossing so many still houseboats. Got to experience the stunning blue hour and a beautiful sunrise! They also arranged a snack + tea break which was super nice. We returned around 8:30am with the bright sun against a pretty blue sky 🌤💙
A huge thanks to Amal for curating this experience!! 🌸 Would recommend to everyone who happens to visit Alleppey!
Kayaking is the best way to explore the beauty and tranquility of backwaters of alleppey. They organizes kayaking in morning and evening. Personally i will prefer morning, it provides best sunrise view.
I couldn’t witness it since it was cloudy. But the over all experience was amazing. Definitely, I will be doing it again. 👍
My first sunrise of the new year and the first sunrise of 2023 couldn’t be any better. The entire session was very well organised.
From the moment you reach the starting point to the kayaking route – everything was perfect. The guides are super helpful and have planned the tour really well – we reached at every point at the right time.
P.S. the banana fritters and coffee was the fuel we needed to finish the session.
We had gone for the sun rise tour which started at 5 am in the morning. The kayaks were all maintained well and the tour around the backwater lagoon was a totally new experience.
The guide (Arjun) was kind and helpful in getting us acclimatised to the kayak and water. We saw night sky filled with stars, a tree full is white herons quietly sleeping, spotted many birds and saw how people lived in and around the lagoon.
I’d definitely come back for more.
