Kadamakudy: The Living Islands Experience

Kadamakudy is a peaceful cluster of 14 islands located just 15 km from Kochi, set in the calm waters of Vembanad Lake. Known for its natural beauty and quiet rhythm of life, these Living Islands offer a unique glimpse into Kerala’s backwater culture and sustainable way of living. This experience takes you through narrow canals and open stretches of water, surrounded by coconut palms, green paddy fields, and diverse birdlife. Whether on a quiet electric boat, a traditional houseboat, or a kayak, the journey offers a relaxing and meaningful way to explore this lesser-known side of Kochi—where every view tells a story and life flows gently with nature.

  • A relaxing, sustainable experience on an electric boat
  • Direct connection with local life and culture
  • Perfect for travellers seeking slow, meaningful journeys
  • Great add-on to a Kerala itinerary focused on nature and community-based tourism

This boat cruise gives you a calm and refreshing way to explore the Kadamakudy Islands. As you sail through the backwaters on a quiet electric boat, you’ll see beautiful green landscapes and a variety of birds in their natural surroundings. A local guide will join you in sharing simple, interesting stories about the islands: how they got their name, what life is like here, and the traditions people still follow. You’ll pass small fishing spots, local homes, and farming areas, giving you a closer look at how the islanders live and work. The experience is peaceful, informative, and a great way to connect with nature and local life.
