Tips for Lighthouse Beach

  • While getting to Lighthouse beach, make sure that you are not overcharged by auto drivers/taxi drivers. Bargaining is recommended
  • There are a number of options available to stay despite Kovalam being fairly small, with a lot of them around Lighthouse Beach as this is the main attraction
  • As there are a number of beachside spas offering spa treatments, it is advisable to make sure that the place you go to is certified by the Kerala Tourism Department
  • Be sure to try the exquisite seafood at any of the many beachside shacks and restaurants near Lighthouse Beach
  • There are lifeguards around on Lighthouse beach and it is a good idea to go swimming or surfing near where they are unless you are very experienced as the waves here are pretty huge
  • Shopping at the beachfront can be tricky as the shop owners overcharge heavily. Negotiating is strongly advisable
  • It is also a good idea to check what you are buying as some shops on Lighthouse Beach have been known to sell fake gems and silver items and such
  • Honeymooners should definitely take a walk down Lighthouse Beach around sunset time as there are very few settings more romantic than that in India or even the world
  • When indulging in watersports and other such adventure activities here, make sure you pay attention to what the instructors have to say and follow it, especially if you are a beginner.

Josh's 5 days trip to Kovalam

Everything was good except houseboat experience in Allepy. They operated the ope boat only for 3 hours in the whole package. Rest of the time they stationed the boat at starting point only which was a remote location without any shops or activities possible.

Gangadhar's 7 days trip to Kovalam

Overall it is okay with the services provided by the agency. Also it wud be good if agency can advise on the things which shud be considered by travellers to plan before going to any attraction, say booking tickets in advance for the attractions in demand instead of wasting time at the counters and standing in the queue for long time to view/experience the attractions Stay at munnar and the time spent with family in visiting the near by attractions.

Naresh's 4 days trip to Kovalam

I am highly disappointed with your travel agency. We had planned for a trip to Wayanad. We had a clear discussion about the package details and everything was fixed before the trip. All the charges about the package were decided and the itinerary was planned accordingly before we started our trip. All of the sudden on the third day of our trip, they showed their real faces and the driver demanded for additional charges of Rs.3500 saying that he was booked only for 350 KM ride. This was no where mentioned in the package and also none of the tour agency member informed us earlier regarding this. This is completely unfair. It’s a big cheating from the travel agency. The agency along with driver forced us to pay additional charges which was not stated in the package nor did they mention this earlier. The driver stopped the vehicle in between the trip and forced us to pay additional charges. It was a big trap for us because we were helpless and were forced to pay the extra charges as we were in the middle of the trip and couldn’t do anything rather than listening to them. I am going to take this issue forward and going to file a case against your agency by filing a complaint with the Ministry of Tourism through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring Systems (CPGRAMS) portal. Also I would never ever recommend any of my family friends to book trips from your agency Worst experience ever

Manish's 5 days trip to Kovalam

We booked the honeymoon package as a couple and had a fantastic experience throughout the trip. The cab driver was friendly and talkative, the local food was delightful, and we enjoyed all the sightseeing as planned in our shared itinerary within the given timeframe. Thank you, Trip Seller, for the excellent arrangements!

Shoeb's 5 days trip to Kovalam

House Boat: Cons I would like to bring you in notice that House boat condition was below average and it was very difficult to stay with family.Even the air conditioning system was pathetic.Most importantly bed size was very small for my kids. Pros: -Food taste was very good in house boat. Rest full trip was well planned and the Hotels in Kochi, Munnar & Thekkady was good. -Driver and cab was in Full condition and very well mannered
