    Boat was nicely furnished and the staff really friendly and helpful. The food on the boat was excellent and there was plenty of it and lots of choices. They asked before hand if there were any dietary requirements. The trip round the backwaters...

Company information

The Spice Coast One pauses for breath at the mouth. Our Kettuvallams (barges of yore converted into houseboats) echo our philosophy of life - only natural and local materials are used for the interiors - coir matted decks and canopies made of split bamboo and palm fronds. This simplicity is also reflected in the meals that our cook serves you on board our houseboats, which on a typical day would include among other divine dishes, the famed Karimeen and freshwater prawns.

Property information

Spice Coast Cruises takes you on a journey through Lake Vembanad in a houseboat. A journey that bares the indescribable beauty, the very soul of Kerala. Our Kettuvallams (barges of yore converted into houseboats) echo our philosophy of life - only natural and local materials are used for the interiors - coir matted decks and canopies made of split bamboo and palm fronds. This simplicity is also reflected in the meals that our cook serves you on board our houseboats, which on a typical day would include among other divine dishes, the famed Karimeen and freshwater prawns. To help you experience the beauty of the backwaters in all its totality, our Kettuvallams come with extra awnings. Which not only give you the best of the breeze, but also enable you to get a better view of the unique water world of simple joys and pleasant surprises that slowly unfold before you.
