Spice Coast Cruises - Houseboat, A CGH Earth Experience

Very natural yet having all the right amenities. People were the best, they made us feel like home. The food was simply outstanding.

Nothing

Our crew made our stay very memorable - they cooked us a Keralan feast 3x a day and were so friendly and attentive. The houseboat was beautiful and traditional, and the views every moment were stunning. 10/10 would recommend!

Nothing!

I cant recommend this highly enough! We had wonderful trip.. the boat is beautiful and so relaxing. an old authentic houseboat. its comfortable and the rooms are large considering you are on a boat! they have AC and fly nets. The food is amazing, and the service has the perfect balance of being attentive but not feeling like they were hovering (which given the boat isnt huge is quite a skill). The views are obviously stunning and we stopped off for a little village walk as well.

nothing! we will be coming back

We were treated like royalty. We were a group of mixed nationalities Germans, Greeks and Indians. It was second time with CGH Spice Boat Cruises, we would come back again. Four nights was not enough, the clam backwaters that the crew take you to, is worth it. The food was exceptionally good, with authentic Kerala cuisine. The staff is also open to ideas of things to do along the trip, like visiting temples, taking short walks along villages. The highlight as always was the vallam tour along the small canals. The vallasadya is a once in a lifetime experience. The Fish Cuisine is exceptionally good. If you visit in November to December, it is a birdwatchers paradise, do not forget your binoculars and camera. The rooms are spacious and extremely comfortable, so is the toilet, even though small, it has all the basic amenities(more than you can find in a boat). It is always a pleasure to have a conversation with our captain Jaimon, he is of great help and knowledge when spotting birds along the route. The staff Sanal, Joshy and others were also exceptionally helpful. The two chefs Suresh and Praveen? are masters in Kerala cuisine.
