What visitors say about Kari Island

We were a group of four boys who stayed at Kari Island Resort, Kochi, for one day on 21st March 2026, and it was truly an amazing experience.
The resort’s backwater view was absolutely beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. One of the highlights of our stay was the nearby kayaking experience, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Exploring the calm waters and scenic surroundings made our trip even more special.
We honestly didn’t feel like leaving this place at all the atmosphere was so soothing and refreshing. However, due to our work commitments, we had to return.
A special thanks to Evan, who guided us in every possible way from helping with food arrangements to negotiating the kayaking cost for us. His support really made our stay comfortable and hassle-free. We also arrived about two hours before the check-in time, yet we were pleasantly surprised that our room was already ready for us.
Overall, the stay was wonderful and truly mind-blowing. We would highly recommend Kari Island Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, and we would love to visit again!

The perfect place for a relaxing stay. I went twice just for day trips and I had such an amazing time. They have lovely and friendly animals. You get to see how they breed fish and shrimps, how they fish with Chinese fishing nets and you can climb coconut trees. If I am ever to return to kochi I would love to stay here. Never have I met lovelier people. I cannot say how much I would recommend this place.
