One of a kind experience
We thoroughly enjoyed 21 hours on the luxurious houseboat. It was nice having AC in the common room and bedrooms. The upper deck allowed for even better views. The staff, food, and experience was top notch. If you need a good getaway from all the hustle and bustle, this is the experience for you. I'm very glad we booked this cruise.

Wow! Boathouse Mr. Sree
Excellent boat house with 5 star ambience and delicious food served with good hygiene. All thanks to the Owner Mr. Sree. He made our trip a memorable one and cherish it forever. Staff is very professional and kind. The boat house was far more than what we expected and it surprised us with luxury and privacy the best part. I will always recommend Mr. Sree for any such occasions. Completely satisfied and really missing it now. Also Mr. Sree arranged an excellent pre-stay before boat house through Mr. Salam which had an excellent backwaters views and pretty decent price. Overall a very satisfying and excellent boathouse trip.

Houseboat Trip
I have always heard about houseboat in Kashmir or Kerala, but never had the chance to experience it. As luck would have it, during my India visit this time we planned to go to Kerala and guess what....houseboat trip!!! We did the booking with Lumiere Tours and they didn't disappoint us. We had requested for a Private luxury houseboat and had a fantastic experience. Backwaters of Kerala is a great natural creation, it's nothing but a interconnected network of lagoons, lakes and canals. The lunch and dinner in the boat was just fabulous. In between our journey we stopped in a village and bought crabs n prawns which was also added in the dinner menu by our chef. Overall another unique experience for us.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. You are travelled in Palazhi 3 bed room Luxury houseboat.

Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kochi.
How much does Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters cost?
+
Prices start at $232 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kochi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters take?
+
Plan for about 21 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kochi is not rushed.
Is Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kochi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 21-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kochi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kochi and add a light layer if any part of the 21-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat Trip in Alleppy Backwaters start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kochi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kochi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kochi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour, Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour with Pickup From Cruise Ships, Kochi Tuk-Tuk Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Ship Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kochi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kochi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
