The best for mangrove kayaking in Varkala, Kerala is this 'Mangrove Memories'. Had the best guide ever! Manoj was the guide and the way he took care of everything was just fantastic and felt so welcoming. Amazing Kayaking experience!

An amazing experience! Everyone at Mangrove Memories was very kind and communicative. The start is located in a quieter area, so we were able to avoid some of the crowds while seeing the mangroves from our kayaks. We had a refreshing swim half way and got to see a beautiful sunset. Would strongly recommend!

It was a wonderful experience! Anuraj gave us memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. The whole session was so calm and peaceful. We'd recommend visiting on weekdays, as it's less crowded and you get to enjoy a more personal kayaking experience without any disturbance.
