About Poovar Boat Tour
Poovar Boat Tour is a local boating company in Poovar, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. We take families, couples and friends on calm backwater rides through the canals, mangroves and river mouth of Poovar.
Visitors often search for a Poovar boat club or a Poovar boating company. We are a small local team that runs the boats ourselves, so you deal directly with the people who take you on the water.
We run backwater boat rides on the Poovar backwaters, where the Neyyar River meets the Arabian Sea. You can choose a motor boat cruise, a sunset cruise, a honeymoon cruise or a bird watching cruise.
We also run a taxi service. We can pick you up, drop you off and take you to nearby tourist spots, so your boat ride and your day out can be planned together.
Generations of local experience navigating the Neyyar River, estuary tides, and mangrove canals.
Why Choose a Local Operator for Poovar Boating?
A local operator such as Poovar Boat Tour knows the backwater route, the tides and the boarding point. You also deal directly with the people who run the boat, so questions and changes are easy to sort out.
How Can Guests Help Protect the Poovar Backwaters?
Please do not throw plastic or waste into the water, and take your rubbish back with you. Clean backwaters keep the mangroves and the birds healthy for every visitor.
