At Alleppey Boating, guests can enjoy a unique cultural experience during their houseboat cruise – toddy tasting. Toddy, a naturally fermented palm wine tapped fresh from coconut or palm trees, is a traditional Kerala beverage enjoyed for its refreshing and mildly sweet flavor. To make the experience more authentic, it is often served with spicy Kerala-style snacks like tapioca with fish curry, fried prawns, or roasted peanuts.

This optional activity brings you closer to the true essence of Kerala’s backwaters, letting you savor the flavors locals have cherished for centuries. Whether you’re relaxing on deck at sunset or enjoying a peaceful overnight cruise, toddy tasting adds a memorable and traditional touch to your houseboat journey.
