We have just returned from a wonderful 10 day tour with Kalypso Adventures with our two children aged 14 & 11 years and had a brilliant time, from start to finish! Our tour guide Jeffin and our driver Santosh were super professional, helpful, courteous, kind and ensured we had a great time! Our kids loved them! The tour started in Kochi and we packed in the Indian dance show, but of shopping and lovely meals at our hotel- Casino. We then travelled to Hornbill Camp and had a wonderful couple of days there, kayaking, walking, mountain biking and bird watching in this beautiful area. The food and service was was super and our son loved playing cricket with our tour guides and staff! We travelled to Munnar and stayed at Olive Brook- another brilliant small hotel with excellent standards in service and wonderful food! We felt very spoilt! Loved the walks here around the tea plantations and incredible views. We then travelled to the back waters and had one night on a house boat which was fab- beautiful water front views and home cooked food! The local temple music was pretty lively but fun! Then onto Turtle Beach hotel in Marari for 3 nights which was a perfect ending as we got to relax and enjoy this beautiful Oasis. The butterfly garden was next to our rooms and we were amazed by the wonderful butterflies! The food here was excellent too and we ate so much! The spa treatments were super too and the swimming pool. The beach is a very natural beach- wonderful views and fishermen setting off every morning. Be careful of the beach dogs as they have no owners and are friendly but they did chase me when I went running! Ended our trip having a wonderful lunch in Malabar hotel in Kochi- a beautiful oasis in this bustling city! We we so well looked after and can’t wait to return!

David Graff | 30-11-2018It was terrific and everything went smoothly. Suresh and Peter were wonderful as were all the crew at Hornbill and everywhere else we stayed.
We loved Emerald Isle… much better there than staying on a houseboat and the cultural performance was appreciated and enjoyed. He is very, very good.
It was all perfect. Thank you.
Re guides. Peter was excellent as was Suresh.
Liz Light | 30-11-2018Kalypso Adventures put together a superb programme of places to see and to stay, and the balance between activity and rest was just right. All the arrangements worked perfectly and the places we stayed, while all individually different, were delightful. The hosts of the various homestays could not have been nicer, and indeed my lasting impression of Kerala is of how kind all the people we met were. The homestays were all comfortable and spotlessly clean, and as Lisa said, the food was superb. I had absolutely no concerns about standards of hygiene anywhere we went and we all remained healthy throughout the trip.
Our guide, Jeffin and our driver, Sibu were brilliant. Jeffin in particular was the consummate guide: knowledgeable about all sorts of things, discreet, alert at all times to our safety and comfort, and fundamentally just a really nice person.
Thanks for a terrific holiday – I don’t think I have ever enjoyed myself more when abroad.
An amazing holiday. We were well looked after and safety was always assured. Even when Kerala was enduring severe flooding.
We have learned so much about the culture, the history of Kerala and we have visited craftsmen and women making unique products based on local tradition.
We have met many welcoming and friendly people ensuring our enjoyment of the places we visited, and it has given us a real understanding of the issues affecting Kerala, the great potential for the future and the sheer determination of the community to progress through education and innovation.
It has been heartwarming to see the real team work in rebuilding the place after the most severe floods for 100 years.
You can place your confidence in the team at Kalypso Adventures.
Our driver Deepu was a great source of advice and made certain that two older women from the UK had a great holiday. We would strongly recommend an adventure here.
Had an excellent cycling holiday in Sri Lanka and would recommend the same to my family and friends. Booking process was easy and the company has an excellent crew.
Highlight of the trip was Meeting wild elephants on one day's cycling route will live with us forever. Also, Rakitha and Dilan are both a credit to your company.
