Southern Backwaters Houseboats tours Kollam

Had a wonderful trip. The boat, the food, the service and the rooms. All were excellent, beyond expectations.

My family (5 adults and 3 young children) really enjoyed our houseboat tour with Southern Backwaters in Kollam last week. We were greeted by Shyju and he explained the course of events for the day. The boat, including bathrooms, were clean. The food was excellent and made to order. (They fulfilled request for boneless chicken). Canoe ride near Monroe Island was a unique experience and definitely worth it. Captain also gave my three young children turns navigating the boat.

We took a day package with Southern Backwaters. I went with my family and we got to spent some quality time together. It was very quiet and the staff were very friendly. We loved the food and the hospitality. Everything was so tasty. 6 hours went by so quickly. I recommend you try out Southern Backwaters.

Disappointed with the trip rate and all aminities. Food is too poor. They didn't gone the full trip.

I jist ask enquiry They are using bad words. I will raise complaint against your boat house.

It was great, the food was delicious, the service was wonderful everything was good. I would recommend the place for a family trip during summer. Overall, great.

Southern Backwaters at Kollam,

Memorial Experience in my life.
The food at this houseboat was homely and really tasty, Lovely staff so Very very Good Hospitality.

Shaiju and his team are definitely the best to book a houseboat trip with for Ashtamudi. Can’t recommend them enough, so attentive and the captain of the boat had so much knowledge of the area. Spoiled with food and great ambience! Definitely ask them for the Munroe island canoe tour as well when you book. 100% recommend

A tour worth taking. Staff is very good and food was fresh. Nothing to write about backwaters that any way are superb.

Excellent service from the reservation till the end of cruise. Very cordial staff. Food was amazing. Very much family friendly.
Highly recommended to anybody who wish to explore backwater cruises.

Wonderfull 22hs overnight tour with fabulous crew Jose, Peter and Eric. The food was fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend this tour

Shyju the Manager in charge explained the rate, trip route, food etc in detail and reminded the date and time to make sure we don't miss the trip. Last minute I requested for air conditioners which was done.
The crew Peter & Jose were extremely courteous. They took extra care of my grandson and entertained him. The chef/cook made delicious food and the 4 Americans in our group thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Thanks for your efforts.

We had a wonderful and memorable trip. We 4 families had gone for one day house boat trip i.e on 30th Sep 2022. Every one enjoyed a lot. The manager Mr. Shyju was a very nice guy and all crew members were also very co-operative. Food was very delicious. My wife and son liked the fish curry a lot. I specially requested the chef not to put onion and garlic in the veg items bcoz I eat JAIN food only on Friday. As per my request, the chef had prepared the veg items so tasty that to without onion & garlic. It was awesome! Definitely will plan again to taste the nonveg food again in house boat! Really miss the house boat journey and Kerla.

Thank you Mr. Shyju for making our day memorable!

It was an amazing experience for us. The food served was superb. The staffs were friendly they explained each places in detail.

It was an awesome trip. People in the boat was made the journey so lively. And we should say, the food that we got was really delicious.

This was one of those last minute hurried up plan with my family and Mr. Shyju at Southern backwaters made the whole experience a cake walk.

It started from the first phone call and lasted till the trip was complete. The crew was very polite and helpful. Food was awesome, delicious and filling. It was an experience as promised and a beautiful holiday enjoyed stress free. Everything was planned carefully and executed flawlessly, Thanks to Mr. Shyju and his crew.

We're looking forward to another holiday at Southern Backwaters. Highly recommended.

It has been a terrible experience, the boat is old and is super poorly maintained.super dirty. I do not recommend at all that you do your cruise with them. In addition, the price is exorbitant for what they offer, from what I have seen (in hindsight) there are much better and cheaper boats.

Very nice experience using Southern Backwaters Kollam! Boat was comfortable and the views were beautiful! Food was good, and the Karimeen was especially delicious! Thank you Mr. Shaiju and your staff for a great time! Definitely would recommend and will come again next time we are in the Kollam area!

EXCELLENT SERVICE, COOPERATIVE STAFF, TASTY FOOD 21 nos family group really enjoyed the trip today 09/07/2022

It was a pleasant experience. All the staff were well behaved. Food was awesome. Overall a really nice experience

We had a wonderful and memorable boating trip with Southern Backwaters House Boat on 28/07/2022. Their customer service was awesome, their boat staffs Mr. Joseph, Mr. Michael, and chef Mr. Salam were so cordial and the food was awesome. Special thanks to Mr. Shyju, the tour executive.

Its a very plesent and warm experience, our group enjoyed the Ashttamudi lake cruize with Southern Back Waters -House boat journey. The main attraction is the Chef's cookng variety. He made excellent veg & non veg foods with authentic kerala style recipies. Good in hospitality and service. *But frankly speaking the out look and cleanness can improve more, there was no musical entertainment system.and the safety measures in the house boat must improve. *
