First time in Kochi
See Kochi from the harbour on your first visit to the city.
First-time visitors can use a cruise to see Kochi from the harbour rather than only from its streets. Begin at Marine Drive and choose a sailing that leaves room in your itinerary for the rest of the city. The water gives a different perspective on the waterfront, with the time on board shaped by the cruise you select.
A scheduled Sea Cruise offers a longer shared outing with food and music. The hourly Backwater Cruise is one hour on a smaller boat, while speed boating takes fifteen minutes and uses a reserved arrival time. Consider how much time you have and check each cruise page for its details before deciding.
Choose a date and cruise, then review the available times, prices and inclusions before booking online. Your confirmation gives the exact Marine Drive gate and time. Bring it on your phone with ID for the lead guest, and allow enough time to reach the boarding point before departure.
