AVOID THIS BOAT CRUISE 🇮🇳

2 years ago

I met a friendly Auto driver who offered me a trip around the city. Originally the plan I was told the day before was that we would do a half day trip and visit all of these locations he had on a map and then he said maybe later on we would also do a boat cruise. I thought something may be suspicious because when he picked me up in the morning the first place we went to was the boat cruise.

After arriving...While I was skeptical, the guy I met at the boat stand seemed very friendly so I decided that even after questioning the price of 2,500 rupees ($32usd) for 1.5 hour boat ride, I decided that maybe it could just be some really exotic boat cruise as that is what the photos he showed me looked like. The man also confirmed that it is an Indian Government approved pricing for the boat cruise so that made it even more believable. After getting on the boat cruise, I realized that I fell for a tourist trap and had paid way too much as it was extremely basic. I could have done a backwater boat cruise (which is more well known in Kochi) for the same price and it would have been overnight/or a full day tour.

On a positive note, everyone I interacted with was friendly so I made the best of it, but I am sharing this video with you as I want people to be aware that if you are spending 2,500 rupees, you can get WAY MORE value for your money elsewhere.

After the boat cruise, I went over to pickup a set of business cards and met the business owner who showed me a really nice time and invited me for a cup of coffee. Overall, I still had a nice day in Kochi Kerala!
