Beautiful place to visit in Kerala. It's really very romantic and exciting. The boat ride through canals is worth it, but unfortunately no control of govt is there. only private parties are giving service and charging exceptionally high for time slots.

You can Book your tickets online then you will get better deal. Try to go early morning or in evening.

Good for twitchers, may be considered as a den. One must carry a good quality camera with zoom capability.
Considering the price of the boat ride it's a little higher for couples. They offer 3 different rates, starting from ₹2500 to ₹4000. Which is pretty high for couples because there's no boat sharing option. You have to take your own boat and pay the full price. We were 2, me and my wife and we paid ₹3500. However if you are in a group the same amount gets divided within all group members and it becomes cheaper.
In the whole ride they will drop you on a beach for free minutes. The beach was beautiful. The second halt is on a flooring restaurant on preference, you may have some food there. The price is high quality off food average.
Finally you come back with the same canal you want.
The wild pineapple tree was something I had never seen. The fruits were floating but not edible.
In the end I recommend everyone to enjoy the experience.

Boat ride is amazing. We pass through the coconut plantation, mangroves and natural forest. Points are mother mery statue, holy cross, elephant rock and the end of the ride is towards where backwaters meet Arabian sea. Nice experience.

One hour ride is charged at 700 rupees but negotiable and we ended up paying 500 rs per person.
