Description

Experience the untouched beauty of Kochi’s backwaters with an eco-friendly electric boat cruise through the Living Islands of Kadamakudy.
Experience the untouched beauty of Kochi’s backwaters with an eco-friendly electric boat cruise through the Living Islands of Kadamakudy. This one-hour journey takes you through a mesmerizing landscape of tranquil waters, lush mangroves, and vibrant birdlife, all while immersing you in the charm of island life.

Begin your adventure at the embarkation point, where your welcoming team will greet you with a short briefing about the tour, the eco-conscious technology of the electric boat, and safety protocols. As you step aboard, the gentle hum of the electric motor sets the tone for a peaceful voyage, free from noise and pollution.

As the boat glides effortlessly over the waters, be surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of Kadamakudy’s island cluster. Coconut palms sway gently in the breeze, their reflections dancing on the glassy surface of the backwaters. The scenic landscapes stretch out before you, revealing a world untouched by time—a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Kochi just a few kilometers away.

Kadamakudy is home to a resilient island community that has lived in harmony with the backwaters for generations. As you pass by fishing villages and traditional prawn farms, see fishermen skillfully casting their nets, continuing the age-old practices that sustain their way of life.

You may even witness the unique pokkali rice farming, a centuries-old, organic method where farmers alternate between rice cultivation and prawn farming, adapting to the region’s saline water levels. These timeless traditions form the heartbeat of Kadamakudy, and your guide will narrate stories of the islanders’ deep-rooted connection with their land and waters.

While the surroundings captivate your senses, the boat itself offers a luxurious experience. Designed for both comfort and sustainability, the carbon-free electric boat is outfitted with reclining seats, panoramic viewing windows, and warm wooden flooring, ensuring that every moment on board is one of relaxation and serenity.

The boat moves silently through the waterways, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature without the typical noise and fumes of traditional motorboats. This eco-conscious approach ensures that you leave no trace behind, preserving the pristine environment for future generations.

As you complete the circuit and head back to the starting point, feel a renewed connection to nature and a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance that sustains Kadamakudy’s Living Islands. Before disembarking, take a moment to soak in the final views of the water shimmering under the sun, the coconut trees swaying in the breeze, and the birds making their graceful flights home.
