Looking for a unique backwater experience in Kochi that’s far from the usual tourist trails? Welcome to Kadamakkudy Islands, a peaceful cluster of islets tucked away just outside the city. Known for its tranquil canals, lush mangrove forests, and authentic village charm, Kadamakkudy offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable water adventure.
At Ben’s Cruise, we invite you to explore this hidden gem through expertly guided kayaking and houseboat experiences. Whether you’re chasing the golden hues of the evening or want to glide through untouched mangrove creeks, we offer something special for every explorer.
Why Choose Kayaking in Kadamakudy?
Pristine Mangrove Trails
Our mangrove kayaking in Kochi takes you deep into narrow canals framed by emerald-green mangroves. These rich ecosystems are home to diverse birdlife, crabs, and even occasional otter sightings — a nature lover’s dream.
Evening Kayaking Magic
Our most loved experience is the evening kayaking in Kadamakudy. As the sun sets over the calm backwaters, the sky is painted with golden hues, offering a breathtaking backdrop to your paddle. It’s peaceful, romantic, and ideal for photographers.
Authentic Village Life
What sets Kadamakudy apart is its immersive cultural charm. Paddle past traditional prawn farms, wave to friendly fishermen, and enjoy a warm cup of local tea by the water — no tourist rush, just real Kerala life.
