About Us

🛟 “Safe for Beginners, Non-Swimmers, and Families — Every Step of the Way”

Never been in a kayak before? Not a confident swimmer? Travelling with kids or older parents?

That’s exactly who we welcome every single day.

At Alleppey Kayaking Club, safety isn’t just a checklist  it’s the heart of everything we do. Every tour is personally led by Rahul Raj, a certified guide trained in both Lifesaving Techniques and Kayaking at the National Institute of Watersports, Goa.

We guide you with:

Calm, shallow backwater routes

Proper safety briefings before every paddle

High-quality life jackets for all guests

Friendly support, no matter your age or experience

Whether you’re 12 or 70, kayaking solo or with your whole family — you’ll be in safe hands, moving at a comfortable pace, with local guides who truly care.

Because a beautiful experience means nothing unless you feel safe enough to enjoy it.

Our Mission Backwater Tours with a Heartbeat

Alleppey is changing fast — but its soul still lives in the slow paddles, the morning mist, the temple chants, and the waving kids at the edge of the canal.

Our mission is to protect that soul.
To give you not just a trip, but a memory.
To make you feel like you belong here, even for a few hours.

Locally Rooted. Globally Loved.

it’s a real community effort.

Family-run operation, born in the same village where we paddle

Every tour supports local livelihoods — from the food we serve to the places we explore

We don’t sell Alleppey… we share it.
