Highlights

Paravur Backwaters is one of the lesser known, tightly kept secret locations in southern Kerala. The Paravur Backwaters is safe and a sheltered waterbody, without much influence of the tidal effects. You can be assured of the safety as the depth of the lake in general is not more than 10 feet and not wider than 1 km. This ensures you don't paddle out and lose orientation in unknown waters.


You will find it truly unique place to paddle to the Black Devil Snail Sandbar as it is a dynamic sandflat that constantly changes its shape and size due to wind, tide, current and water levels.

Itinerary

  • Syzygy Ecosports

    1) After reporting at Syzygy, please proceed to select suitable size life jackets. 2) Our Trip Guide will provide Basic Kayaking Instructions before trip starts. Our Guide will come along in another kayak for your safety during the entire trip. 3) Within 20 to 30 minutes of paddling from the launch point, you will reach the Black Devil Snail Sandbar Island. It is a sand flat which constantly changes its shape and size due to wind, tide and current conditions. 4) Black Devil Snail Sandbar area is an ideal intertidal place for taking rest or for swimming or watching sunsets. Avoid going near the Spillway Regulator (that drains water from lake to sea) for safety reasons. 5) Paddle from here for 20 to 30 minutes to reach back Syzygy and end the trip. 6) Take shower or change clothes before you go back to your hotel or home. Round trip distance is only 2 km and it can be finished in one hour. Some prefer to spend a little more time to walk around the sandflats or watch sunsets.
