JK 3 trip was an amazing experience from start to finish! The food was delicious, and all the activities were well organized, enjoyable, and suitable for everyone. The entire journey was smooth, and every destination was worth visiting. … More
We made wonderful memories, captured lots of beautiful photos, and had a great time throughout the tour. The transportation, and overall coordination were excellent, making the trip comfortable and stress-free.
A big thank you to all the tour organizers, guides, and the entire team for their hard work, hospitality, and dedication in making this trip such a memorable one. Your planning and support made all the difference.
I truly enjoyed every moment of the trip and would highly recommend this tour to my friends and family. I look forward to joining another trip with your team in the future. Keep up the great work! -
The google reviews weren't lying! We went on this cruise based on the reviews and it was honestly worth every dime. We went on JK Royal Cruise 2 and Anu & the crew made our entire trip a delightful experience!
In addition to the … More breathtaking views, there are two optional stop offs at Monroe and Sambranikudi where we can opt to visit these places. The crew were very attentive throughout & the trip was interspersed with fun games & songs that were enjoyable without being intrusive, even for an introvert like me. It was very nice to see my neice & mom enjoy these games to the max!
All the facilities were top-notch. There were ample bathroom & wash facilities that were pristine clean. The bottom deck is AC, and the top-deck is better for views and enjoying the fresh air imo. There are also two full bedrooms in the bottom deck for common use.
And now for the best part, speaking as a foodie, the crew lavished us with excellent food & drinks from beginning to end! The food & drinks were well-prepared, very tasty & fresh. Refreshing mixed fruit drink in the morning, kappa + meen curry at 11.30, full sumptuous meals with karimeen + chicken curry and multiple ample side dishes at noon, followed by fruits, ice cream, & finally tea with cake cutting.
The entire day was worth it, and we have already decided we will take our friends & extended family on this trip when they visit us in future👍🏻🤞🏻 -
One of the best budget-friendly houseboat experience. The service provided by Mr. Anu Krishnan and his team was truly excellent and very well coordinated throughout the trip. It included a perfect blend of sightseeing, entertainment, and … More relaxation.
The onboard entertainment was impressive, featuring quality live music, games, and dance performances that kept everyone engaged and entertained. The food served was delicious with a wide variety of dishes. The boat itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable.
The open boating experience around Munroe Island and Sambranikodi Island was the highlight of the trip and absolutely worth spending an entire day for.
A highly recommended experience for anyone looking for an affordable yet memorable houseboat getaway. -
If you're looking for the ultimate backwater vibe, JK Royal Cruise is it! From the refreshing welcome drink that set the tone to the mouth-watering traditional Kerala food, everything was 10/10. The journey through Sambranikodi and … More Munroe Island was pure magic—breathtaking views at every turn. But what truly makes this stand out is the staff; their hospitality is top-notch and they make you feel like royalty. The boat is clean, luxury, and super comfortable. Highly recommended for a soul-refreshing trip!
