Highlights
Discover the authentic side of Kochi with a flexible half-day or full-day experience combining a working fishing harbour with the historic areas of Fort Kochi and Jewish Town. For the best fishing harbour experience, an early start around 7:00 AM is recommended. After approximately one hour of travel from Kochi, visit Chellanam or Kanakadavu Fishing Harbour, where the morning is at its busiest until around 11:00 AM. See fishermen returning with their catch, traditional fishing boats and the lively rhythm of Kerala’s coastal communities. After the harbour visit, continue to Fort Kochi and Jewish Town, exploring historic streets, Chinese fishing nets, heritage buildings, markets and Kochi’s fascinating maritime & multicultural history. The tour is completely flexible: choose a 4-hour half-day or 8-hour full-day experience according to your interests and available time. If you prefer not to visit a fishing harbour, you can instead choose local markets or other Kochi attractions.

About Kochi
Kochi is a port city on India's Kerala coast, with Chinese fishing nets, Portuguese and Dutch heritage, spice warehouses and backwaters just beyond.
The old quarter of Fort Kochi packs centuries of trade into a small peninsula. Giant cantilevered fishing nets line the shore, St Francis Church is one of the oldest European-built churches in India, and Santa Cruz Basilica stands nearby. In Mattancherry, the Dutch Palace holds royal murals, and the Paradesi Synagogue in Jew Town, dating from the 1500s, has a floor of blue Chinese tiles.
