Houseboats in Kerala are available in different sizes ranging from 1 room to 5 rooms so it is essential to choose the apt houseboat as per your group size.

-> Familiarize yourself with the houseboat safety measures: Be aware of auxiliary emergency equipment like smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, ropes, and anchors so you can act quickly and confidently in the event of an emergency.

I was looking for a holiday cum ayurvedic rejuvenation package trip to Kerala when I chanced upon Iris Holidays. Since, it was a 20 days long solo trip, I was a bit apprehensive initially but Iris Holidays left no stone unturned to ensure that my journey was comfortable, memorable and of course cost effective. I was looking for a customized package and I must say that since they only cater to Kerala tourism, their know-how of the place is quite in-depth, accurate and has varied options to cater all needs. Not only was Mr. George Joseph able to well grasp my requirement & build a suitable itinerary but he also ensured to execute the tour efficiently and smoothly without any obstacle. Kudos to the team for the same! The vehicle arranged for the trip was well maintained and hygienic. Mr. Vipin, the friendly chauffeur cum guide for my trip was thoroughly professional and also well informed about the routes and the local places which also helped me shop for memoirs and other local stuffs at best deals. The hotels were good and exactly as conveyed during the package customization. Not only did I visit the touristy spots of Kerala (Munnar, thekkady, houseboat, athirappilly falls, varkala etc) but also experienced the offbeat & local places/ cuisines / culture tourism. The trip ended with a perfect rejuvenation getaway in the beautiful Ayurveda resort for a 10 day panchkarma. As a solo woman traveler, I HIGHLY recommend IRIS Holidays for its thorough professionalism exhibited. Thank you team for making my journey safe, comfy, refreshing and perfect.... couldn\'t have asked for any better.. Cheers!

This 9 days package is good for the one who is looking to roam around Kerala and explore the different beauties of nature. Travellers looking for a long trip and wants to peregrinate Kerala must avail this package for a wonderful experience.
