Description
Discover Kochi’s hidden islands on a 2-hour silent e-boat tour through mangroves, crab farms & Pokkali fields. Eco-friendly, non-touristy, unforgettable.
Kochi Island Hopping is a unique 2-hour guided electric boat tour that takes you through the serene backwaters and lesser-known islands surrounding Kochi. Designed for travelers seeking authentic, non-touristy experiences, this journey showcases the living culture and ecology of Kerala’s island communities.
Cruise silently in a custom-built zero-emission e-boat as you explore lush mangrove forests, traditional fish farms, and fields where salt-tolerant rice is cultivated using age-old sustainable methods. Along the way, witness daily life on remote islands still untouched by modern roadways—where boats serve as lifelines for transport, farming, and even emergency care.
This experience is perfect for families, solo travelers, photographers, and eco-conscious explorers. With a strong focus on sustainability, cultural immersion, and quiet exploration, it’s a refreshing alternative to the city’s usual tourist trails.
