Trip Overview

 Embark on a unique island-hopping journey through the picturesque Kadamakudy region of Kochi, where the traditional meets the extraordinary. This unforgettable tour takes you on a rickshaw adventure, offering an authentic and immersive experience alongside the locals.
In Kadamakudy, the traditional mode of crossing islands involves ferry boats custom-made to carry about 5 to 6 rickshaws, a few bikes, dozens of people, and even their livestock, fish, and provisions. These ferries, powered by makeshift engines, are skillfully maneuvered by local experts who navigate the waters, connecting the islands every 15 minutes.
Each island in Kadamakudy holds a unique story waiting to be discovered. As you journey through them on your rickshaw, you'll follow narrow trails that wind through lush paddy fields, prawn farms, primary schools, temples, churches, floating farms, and even iconic Chinese fishing nets.
The sights and sounds of Kadamakudy come alive as you encounter cheerful school children walking home, others joyfully jumping into the serene lakes, and villagers engaged in activities like playing football in the mud. The warm and friendly locals add to the excitement, making your village experience in Kerala truly special.
The Kochi Island Hopping Tour isn't just a journey; it's an immersive cultural adventure that connects you with the heart and soul of this enchanting region, leaving you with cherished memories of authentic Kerala village life.
