Planning your maiden houseboat tour to Kerala? A once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits you. Exotica Cruises welcomes you aboard to take it easy while cruising through the tranquil backwaters, soaking in nature's bounty, savoring traditional local food, and relishing the tranquil pace of life. Being the best Kerala boat house, we want to ensure you are well-equipped. Packing properly makes your trip stress-free, comfortable, and enjoyable from beginning to end.
Your Backwater Essentials
1. Light Clothing and Layers
The backwaters are peaceful and relaxing. Bring cotton clothing that is breathable, loose blouses, and light pants or shorts. A few long sleeves or lightweight scarves can be useful during nights when the wind picks up a little. Bringing a sun hat and sunglasses is a good idea because you will be spending time relaxing on the upper deck. If you are residing in our luxury houseboat, you may desire to dress a bit more elegantly for dinner, like in a light evening dress or linen top. While no dress code exists, a little more polished attire suits the sophisticated atmosphere.
2. Things That Should Not Be Left Behind
Sunscreen and Lip Balm: Although you are indoors much of the time, the deck and windows receive a tremendous amount of light.
Insect Repellent: Handy for use in the evenings by the riverbanks.
Reusable Water Bottle: Drink and reduce plastic use.
Power Bank and Chargers: There is electricity, but it is convenient to have spares.
Personal Toiletries: We offer minimal amenities, but it's great to bring your favorite items.
Your comfort is our concern, and although we offer quality services at reasonable house boat Alleppey rates, having your essentials around makes it all the more personal for you.
3. Footwear—Keep It Simple
Flip-flops or sandals are ideal. You will not require sneakers unless you are going for an early morning stroll in the village nearby or a rapid tour of the paddy fields. On board, shoes are not necessary. All our guests like to be barefoot on the teak wood floors for the cozy, homey ambiance.
4. Entertainment and Relaxation
While the backwaters themselves are a source of endless interest, bringing along a few personal entertainment choices is a good idea.
Books or Kindle: Our house boat is the ultimate reading nook.
Journal or Sketchbook: Record your thoughts or views in your artistic way.
Music Playlist: We have speakers on board, or you can just listen to your favorite music with headphones.
5. Documents and Small Items
- • Photo ID for check-in
- • Cash in small amounts if you'd like to purchase souvenirs at stops.
- • Health insurance card if applicable
- • Any medications you need to take daily
