Kayaking to the Black Devil Snail Sandbar Island in Paravur Lake near Varkala

An experience not to be missed

The whole trip was a fantastic experience.We went to the sand bar trip with heavy expectations and we were satisfied with the experience that they gave us. The trip lasts for an hour or so and that depends on the travellers mindset and willingness to explore. We reached the spot at 6.45 AM and were accompanied by a guide named Samson. He was really well mannered and helped us in completing the trip. The view from the island especially during the dawn is an unforgettable one. On one side there is the beach, on another side there is the Ashtamudi lake and far away you can see the railway bridge. The sight of the train moving across the bridge is something to be experienced. You can literally walk through the lake when the water level is down. After completing the trip we expressed our satisfaction to the officials there. This is something to be done when visiting Varkala

Extremely Refreshing and amazing...

Amazing Experience. Must try for all trip lovers. Excellent views. Excellent feel. Superb security..

Amazing backwater kayaking tour in an awesome place

Syzygy is by far the best place to enjoy kayaking and canoeing in the pristine backwaters in the Ashtamudi - Paravur area. I did a multi-day kayak expedition covering Ashtamudi, Paravur lake and nearby places. The location is absolutely stunning with swaying palms, small islands and sandbars, and mangroves. I suggest you dedicate at least 3 hours to visit the small island with a temple and the mangroves and also do a tour of Ashtamudi. They have kayaks of different types - all of superior quality and canoes too for group paddling. The charges are reasonable and you'll find them professional and caring. Be ready to adhere to basic rules like using a life-jacket and not polluting the surroundings. If you are anywhere near Ashtamudi, Varkala, Kovalam, Kollam or Paravur this kayak tour is a must. I am definitely going again and next time would stay in their tents.
