Discover North Malabar’s quiet side on this 2N/3D Valiyaparamba Backwaters Tour, based around the serene island landscapes of Valiyaparamba. Drift through Kavvayi backwaters, mangrove channels and fishing hamlets, then stroll from calm lagoon to the Arabian Sea in minutes. This offbeat 2N/3D Valiyaparamba Backwaters Tour reveals authentic coastal life far from Kerala’s usual tourist trail.
Meet our representative at Kannur International Airport or in Kannur town and transfer north to the Valiyaparamba region near Payyanur, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road, an easy flat coastal run into North Malabar. Valiyaparamba is a long, narrow barrier island where the Kavvayi backwaters meet the Arabian Sea, one of the least-visited backwater stretches in all of Kerala, sea on one side, still water on the other, and almost no tourism between them. Check in and take the afternoon slowly, a short introductory boat as the light drops is the right first taste. Overnight near Valiyaparamba.
A full day along the barrier island and the Kavvayi system it fronts. Morning small-boat cruise through the islands, mangrove channels and fishing hamlets, this is working North Malabar life, coir, fishing and toddy-tapping, not a curated experience. The island’s defining feature is its narrowness, walk from calm backwater to open sea in minutes across a strip of coconut and sand. Afternoon on the quiet beach edge or a village walk. Overnight near Valiyaparamba.
After a slow breakfast and a final short paddle if the client wishes, transfer back to Kannur, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road, for onward departure. For clients continuing, Bekal Fort lies to the north and Kannur’s Theyyam-and-loom country to the south, both worth flagging as onward options.

We wanted a quiet Kerala holiday away from crowded destinations, and the Valiyaparamba Backwaters Tour was exactly what we were looking for. Walking across the narrow island from the calm backwaters towards the open sea was an unforgettable experience. The mangrove channels, fishing villages and sunset boat ride were beautiful, but what we enjoyed most was the feeling that everyday village life was happening naturally around us. Ocean6 Holidays organised everything professionally and kept the itinerary relaxed and comfortable. A lovely choice for couples who enjoy nature, photography and slow travel.
Our family loved the relaxed atmosphere of Valiyaparamba. The children particularly enjoyed the boat ride through the backwater channels and seeing the fishing boats and village life up close. Having the Arabian Sea on one side and peaceful backwaters on the other made the island feel very special. Ocean6 Holidays created a comfortable three-day itinerary without making it feel overloaded. We had time for the backwaters, beach, village walks and simply enjoying the landscape together. The transfers from Kannur were also convenient and well organised. A beautiful option for families wanting to experience a quieter and more authentic side of Kerala.
