Spice Coast Cruising takes place on solid little two-bedroom craft. The fore area is an open lounge canopied with cane and rattan. All the comforts of home abound, with queen-sized beds, tiled bathrooms and modern plumbing. Even bookshelves, china tea services and an armchair or two. Fans and lights are powered by solar panels on the roof..

So all you need to do is relax, open your senses and submit to the famed backwater magic.

• Spice Coast Cruise, it becomes your floating home, providing the best means of experiencing them that can possibly be imagined, combining holidaying, pleasure-boating and ecological living in an exhilarating way.

The lake's waters are an identical shade with the sky, creating a seamless blue world edged with the bursting green of shoreside forests, thick with coconut, cardamom, cinnamon and teak.

• For millennia now, the ecology of the backwaters has been a fine balance between man and nature, the old ways of life serving to sustain and preserve the environment. But today, this way of life is under threat. As the backwaters grow in popularity, so does the impact of indiscriminate tourism and uncontrolled consumption of resources like water, timber and arable land. We urge you to visit with sensitivity, to make simple living a part of every experience. We promise, your journey will be that much more enriching.
