Itinerary

Day1

Arrival & Cherai Beach Relaxation

Arrive at Cochin International Airport or Ernakulam Railway Station and transfer to Cherai Beach (approx. 45–60 mins). Check-in and unwind at your beach resort. Spend the afternoon on the golden sands, swimming or taking a guided walk along the shore. Tip: Cherai is a great spot for sunset photography — carry a light jacket for the sea breeze.

Day2

Dolphin Watch Cruise & Vypin Island Explorations

Early morning Dolphin Watch boat trip off the coast of Cherai — look for playful pods of spinner and bottle-nosed dolphins. Return for breakfast at the resort, then explore nearby Vypin Island: backwater channels, fishing villages, and local life. Optional activities: kayaking, village cycling, or a short backwater boat ride. Note: Dolphin sightings can’t be guaranteed but chances are high early in calm seas.

Day3

Transfer to Kochi & Fort Kochi Heritage Walk

After breakfast, check out and transfer to Fort Kochi. Enjoy a guided heritage walk covering the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets, St. Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, and the Dutch Cemetery. Visit Mattancherry Palace (Dutch Palace) and the vibrant Jewish Synagogue (Paradesi Synagogue) in Mattancherry followed by the bustling Spice Market. Evening option: watch a classical Kathakali performance or stroll along the Fort Kochi promenade.

Day4

Backwater Cruise / Local Culture & Shopping

Choose a tranquil half-day backwater cruise in the Ernakulam backwaters or explore local museums and galleries such as the Kerala Folklore Museum and contemporary art spaces. Spend the afternoon shopping on MG Road or Marine Drive for spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. Tip: Carry small change for bargaining at local markets.

Day5

Departure from Kochi

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and final beach or city stroll depending on your departure schedule.
