Motor boat
A house boat and a motor boat are two very different kinds of boats. It is frequently used, especially by visitors with short time, for sightseeing and boat transportation between locations. The nearby island of Pathiramanal, accessible by 30-minute speedboat trip, offers a unique collection of migrating species from around the globe. The motor boat is available for rent by visitors at any time of day, but not at night. There are multiple sizes available for it, including two to ten people, ten to twenty people, and so forth. Despite not being a guided trip, visitors can rent a boat just for themselves.
Shikkara
An amazing option is to take a Shikara ride around Alleppey (Alappuzha), a backwater area in Kerala. Though Shikara Boats are smaller than houseboats and motorboats, their exquisite handicrafts are made in the traditional Keralan style. The primary purpose of shikara boats is sightseeing. It is more affordable than houseboats and motorboats and is mostly utilised for touring on an hourly basis. Because the travellers are seated on cushion chairs, the arrangement is incredibly comfortable for them. Shikara boats have open sides that provide the best views for tourists, making the ride enjoyable even in the afternoon.
Kayaking
In Kerala, kayaking is highly popular, particularly in Alleppey, also known as Alappuzha, which is situated on the Laccadive Sea. Here in Kerala's backwaters, visitors frequently kayak and spot cormorants and kingfishers. You'll feel quite close to daily life here as you paddle across tiny canals and sift over tiny bridges. Tours for kayaking often begin in the morning and last in the evening. Equipment needed for kayaking, such as gloves, shoulder straps, coolers, support, and mechanised shikara boats, as well as beginner and experienced kayaks, sit-on-top kayaks, breakfast, tea, coconut, mineral water, juice, and life jackets, are frequently included.
