  We spent one night on the houseboat, overall it was a lovely relaxing day and evening. We had a two man crew who were very experienced with the boat. The food was excellent . Lunch was very good and so was the evening meal there was only the two of us but both meals could have fed six people. We were asked the night before what we would like for breakfast I chose fruit and my husband chose an omelette both were very good. The boats are very old and understandably tired looking, we didn’t have a problem with that however the bedding was stained and very dirty and I couldn’t bring myself to complain as they were so proud of their work. . Cruising around the back waters was a lovely experience with lots of wildlife to see and a wander around a village to stretch our legs.

  Exceptional!!! First, we easily obtained all the information before our cruise via WhatsApp. Then, the taxi was punctual and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Next, we received a warm welcome aboard the boat. The boat is traditional, very clean, and comfortable. The hosts are very calm, welcoming, punctual, and kind. Activities were offered but without being pushy. The meals were plentiful and varied. We wanted for nothing. It was simply perfect!!!! I highly recommend this unforgettable cruise. Thank you again to the entire team! William

  We have had the prearranged tour from Iris Holiday (thank you, Saranya) with driver Akhil for 13 days. All points visited were worth seeing.Akhil is very responsible and contributed a lot to the success of our trip: helpful, always in time, experienced and skillful driver.

  Great boot and excellent food on the boat! The area is lovely and communications beforehand were quick and punctual. The communication on board was not possible since there was no English speaking staff on board. There was miscommunication about the food, where we thought we had to pick fish for dinner, whereas there actually was food already and we ended up paying almost 2000 rupees extra for food we didnt need. Also, in the description it says that on the second day you get a tour in Kochi by car and see the highlights. That didnt happen, the only thing we got offered on day 2 was to do another boat tour for extra money. When we thanked for that we just got dropped off at our hotel, with no sightseeing in Kochi. The quality of the tour was again very nice and relaxing, but more clarity about what is included and what not & more information about the surroundings and nature by an English speaking captain or crew would have given this 5 stars.

  This overnight houseboat trip from Kochi was very calm and relaxing. The car ride to Kumarakom with Sanju was great—he was friendly and made the drive comfortable. Once we got on the boat, everything felt peaceful. The water was quiet, the air was fresh, and the boat moved slowly. It was the perfect way for us to rest and enjoy nature. The food was delicious! The best part was the fresh prawns. We bought them by the river, and they were cooked right away. They tasted amazing and were full of flavor. Before sleeping, we had a massage on the boat. It helped us relax even more. After that, we slept very well with the soft sounds of the water around us. In the morning, we woke up to birds singing and a beautiful view. We really recommend this trip if you want peace, good food, and a special experience in Kerala. --- Let me know if you'd like this in French or want to add a photo caption or title for sharing!

  I was so impressed with the timely responses I received from IRIS while I was planning my trip. The patience shown to me was commendable. Everything worked out without a hitch. It was so well planned everything was on time. I can’t say enough good about it. Doing the back waters of KERALA by houseboat has been a dream of mine for over 20 years. It exceeded my expectations.

  We had an amazing and very relaxing time - the food was also incredible. Just a couple of things to note, that we didn't know would happen and could catch people out - you are taken off the boat when docked for the night to buy shellfish for dinner (at your own cost but worth it) also the staff do stay on the boat with you overnight - these did not affect our experience and we had a wonderful time, and have already recommended to friends and family!
