    My friend and I toured Kerala for two weeks with a specifically organized travel plan for us by Expertise Travels based on our interests on nature and culture. We were picked up from the airport in Kochi and taken amazing care of for the whole trip by the agency and our drivers until we returned to Kochi.

    For the two weeks we got to visit beautiful destinations and experience the best things Kerala has to offer: serene stay by a river and visit the waterfalls in Athirappilly, sightseeing around Varkala and swimming in the Indian Ocean, relaxing on a private house boat while sailing the Alleppey backwaters watching birds and bats, enjoying the fresh air in the post card -like sceneries of forested mountains and tea plantations in Munnar, and visiting a spice garden and an elephant camp in Thekkady.

    Our longest stay was in the lovely Munnar, where we were thrilled to see a fusion show of local traditional dances of Kathakali as well as Kalaripayattu martial arts show. In addition, we went to an early morning jeep ride to see the sunrise on a mountain top and then other local sightseeing. I was also very happy to have a relaxing ayurvedic massage and visit a chocolate shop, a botanical garden, and a tea factory. Still, to me the highlights of our trip were our walk in Eravikulam National park seeing local flora and the endangered Nilgiri Thar, as well as night trekking in Periyar tiger reserve, where we were lucky to see an elephant in the wild together with Sambar deer, gaurs, and an owl.

    As nature lovers who also value space and calm, the agency had booked us lovely and tidy hotels with peaceful and green surroundings in every location. We were also always taken to eat in nice restaurants and cafes with delicious foods on the way and we never got sick from the food.

    Our drivers were true professionals who we could trust with everything. For the first three days we were taken excellent care of by Rajesh. For the remaining of our journey, we were safely driven and guided by Saji, who was always friendly, calm, and made sure we had everything we needed. We could always adjust the plan according to our wishes and did not need to worry about anything. Having Expertise Travels and the drivers arranging the trip made our first time traveling in India very easy and let us just to enjoy our unforgettable holiday.

    Hi Thomas,
    I wanted to write to thank you for what has been an incredible holiday and tour
    Everything that you planned was meticulous, well advised & led to a fantastic experience for all of us
    What a beautiful state you live in, you`re all very lucky and should be very proud of how the people and businesses of Kerala showcase your home

    A worthy and special mention must go to Deepu – what a lovely, kind, and genuine man who really cared for and looked after all my family’s needs
    He went above and beyond to do absolutely anything we might need, even anticipating and following up on what we might like or might have mentioned a few days before
    He really is quite a special person and the care and attention to detail he gave to us all is exemplary
    When my daughter was unwell for a couple of days he was genuinely concerned for her as if she were his own and took the trouble to come to our hotel to see how Ellie was
    It was like we had a 4th member of our party on holiday with us who had been a friend for years

    Thank you, Thomas, for everything
    We`ll be back & I`ve already recommended you to a number of friends who asked about our trip

    Regards
    Andrew, Linda & Ellie Lewis

    One of the best Kayaking Routes in Kerala, Kadamakkudy islands have a lot more to offer while on a slow paddling. Bird varieties, mangroves, local life on the ferry and fish fields etc. Typically Kayaking is happening between certain islands and Lagoons, having families living in most of them and a few are dedicated to cultivation and fishing. A car approached island and a small local home frontage is your boarding point with a neat toilet and changing room. It's a beautiful island of around fifty families with their daily routines. Paddling route has a good tea break where locals have their ferry. A good sun set starts hitting you from the tea break up to the coconut grove . Staying around 15 minutes on the open water is the best thing to do in between.
    Friendly operator and much casually supportive. Recommended kayaking in Kochi.

    We had an amazing trip planned out by the Kerala Adventure Tourism team - the Nehru Trophy boat race, in Allepuzha, with a great venue for viewing. We were booked in The Ramada, perfectly located, on the banks of the Vembanad Lake, with a beautiful view of the lake. Next, on the itinerary, was an overnight stay, on a houseboat. The staff of the Black Pearl Cruise, made our very first houseboat experience, memorable! So glad that we did it. Our final stop, was the Kumarakom Lake Resort, a stunning getaway, located on the banks of the Vembanad Lake. Beautiful cottages, great food, amazing service. What a way to end our trip! A huge THANK YOU, to the Kerala Adventure Tourism team. Looking forward to more such memorable trips, with you!

    We were taken here, recommended by our Indian tour guide. It was amazing. Watching, mostly elderly Indians washing in less than modern facilities was great. The thrashing of the washing, to hanging out on an enormous clothes line area, to ironing. When finished it all looked professionally done!

    Santos Tours helped us with the organisation of our cycle trip through Kerala. Everything was planned very well and we were more than satisfied with the whole service. We got good bikes, with gears suitable for the hills and brakes worked well without any failure through 3 weeks! You can rely on everything they promise you! Thanks again for the whole support.

    I had an amazing kayaking experience at Clubriveka on the Chaliyar River. The friendly staff made the entire adventure even more enjoyable, guiding us with warmth and care. The serene beauty of the river combined with the affordability of the experience made it truly special. Paddling through nature’s calm embrace was both peaceful and refreshing, and it’s something I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique escape.
