During last trip to kerala we took houseboat from river escapes. While making booking we were worried if facility will be same which was promised during booking? I have read many blogs where actual house boat and facility will be different from what it will be shown during booking but with River Escapes it is not true. They provide same... More

From the moment we stepped onto the houseboat, I felt like I was on an exciting yet relaxing adventure. River Escapes is like a journey or ride through the backwaters; you see everything from ladies washing their clothes to shell divers on in their narrow canoes. Not to mention, the food was spectacular. I remember one of the prawns was... More

The experience on the backwaters is one you don't want to miss. It's just simply beautiful. Watching the sun set from the deck of the houseboat with palm trees lining the sides of the waterways is a memory I'll never forget. The houseboat far exceeded my expectations. The decor is beautiful, the rooms very comfortable, and the main areas perfect... More

This was an exquisite adventure! So unique, beautiful and peaceful. During my visit to Kerala, I learned about how the houseboats, or "kettuvalams" used to be used to transport rice through the backwaters. Now they are used for tourism and they are an incredible way to see the backwaters. A piece of history, culture, sight-seeing and relaxation all in one.... More

We stayed on the houseboat for one night (boarding at 13.00, got of at 9.00 on the next day morning). The food was amazing. We have never eating such delicious fish and vegetables. The crew was very kind and relaxed. The boat looked new and was very clean and well maintained. Upon our arrival we got a fresh coconut to... More

This trip was absolutely amazing. The highlight of my experience in Kerala. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the service was amazing. The whole experience was so peaceful and the staff were attentive to all our needs. We were able to play our own music via the stereo system on the boat. The food was absolutely perfect: amazing...

This was a great experience. Having spent the prior days in Dehli and Agra, this was a peaceful way to see India - in a completely different light. The crew on the boat was fantastic and they made sure everything was taken care along the way. And, the food was incredible. We spent lunch, dinner, and the following morning having... More

Beautiful boats, beautiful scenery, impeccable service! The food on the boats was customized to the diners' diets and all universally fresh and delicious. The cruises along the backwaters gave us a backyard view of verdant rice paddies, local homes, and lush scenery. A must-do experience in Kerala!

We cruised the houseboats for day/night on the backwaters. While the scenery was awesome, I was very much impressed with the level of service and attention paid. There were 3 attendants on the boat who took care of all our needs. The level of service was simply outstanding. Will definitely go again.
