Village Bike Tour & Birdwatching

Tubin is awesome! Loved the entire experience. No complaints at all!

This was my favourite thing I did in Kerala. Tubin was genuine, kind, spoke perfect English, and was so knowledgeable. If you like a bike ride, this is for you!

This was a fun outdoor experience. We had great bikes (Scott and a Trek) , with padded seats (for those of us who don't have buns of steel it is a must). Our guide, Tubin was awesome! He was fun, knowledgeable, and informative. He had binoculars at the ready and was quick to catch site of hard to spot birds. We also had several stops at points of interest like the handmade traditional canoes, where you get to see the craftsmen at work, Chinese fishing nets, a fish auction and the seaport, where the local fisherman launch every morning. Totally well curated experience with an awesome guide

Fantastic cycling tour with Tubin around the backwaters near Kochi. He arranged for us to be collected from our hotel and dropped back afterwards, and everything was very well organised with good bikes, helmets and water provided. The ride was about four hours at a relaxed pace through quiet village roads and along the waterways. We saw lots of birdlife including several kingfishers, herons, pelicans and a painted stork, and it was lovely to stop along the way to watch everyday village life, such as the fish market and boat yard. Tubin is a brilliant guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the area. We finished with a delicious homemade breakfast of fruit, vegetable curry and omelette which was a perfect end to the morning. Highly recommended!

Great experience with Tubin! Taxi arranged from hotel in Fort Kochi, met with decent bikes, helmets and water for the trip. 4 hours cycling around the local area with stops for coffee and seeing local village life. We saw many birds including 3 types of kingfisher, 3 types of heron, painted stork and a pelican. Once back at the house we had a delicious breakfast of fruit, vegetable curry and omelette. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area - thanks Tubin!

Had a fabulous time on the bike ride with Tubin. He organised our pick up from Alleppey with a local driver, provided bikes, helmets and water, coffee en route and ferry fare. We saw lots of birds in the wetlands, kingfishers, painted storks, egrets, kites, black winged stilts, godwits, sandpiper and many more. We also cycled through local villages, saw the Chinese Fishing Nets, a local fish auction and traditional boat building. We even saw a mongoose. Once back at the Breeze house stay we were treated to pineapple juice, fresh fruit, rice cake and a delicious vegetable curry. Highly recommended trip.

I had a great experience, highlight of my stay in kerala. This is a must do activity for anyone that wants to experience the beauty of kerala. Tubin is passionate about birdwatching and cycling which makes spending time with him enjoyable as well.

What a wonderful experience. A fantastic morning cycling the backwaters seeing not only the bird life but local village life. The breakfast was another special place. Highly recommend. Tubin was so considerate, informative and knowledgeable.

It was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had in India. This excursion combines a great combination of knowledge transfer about nature, culture Social life through the super sympathetic Tubin. He is a very committed young man who has a great deal of ornithological knowledge - which he also imparted great. Getting around by bike was perfect. I can highly recommend the trip to all inquisitive and nature lovers. Thanks again, Tubin for this unforgettable great experience.

Highly recommend this activity. I booked it mainly out of interest for birdwatching, but in the end was very positively surprised by the entire experience. Discovering the area by bike made for a lovely morning exercise; Tubin goes at your pace and is a great guide, sharing his knowledge of Kerala, birds, cycling, culture, food, etc.
