These houseboats should be anchored by 5:30 pm per the government&#8217;s rules. If you plan to hire a day cruise with houseboats, rent it from 10:30 am to 5 pm.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, tourists can rent overnight cruises for 22 hours per day.

Prices of these tour packages depend on many things, such as- the number of days you spend on the houseboat, the types of houseboats you choose, in which weather you are renting it, etc. During the winter season, these houseboat rents are incredibly high because it is the peak season.<\/p>\n<p>During this season, demand increases for these houseboats, so prices are also increasing. Moreover, if you choose the Laxurios houseboat, the cost also changes. Compared to typical houseboats, premium houseboats with romantic dining areas and AC rooms will cost very high. You will also have to pay more to explore fishing or other activities like this.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-these-houseboats-safe\"><\/span>Are these houseboats safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As per the information, these boats are made with planks from the Anjili tree (a local tree). The Kerala government has taken many steps to increase the quality of the houseboats. Only skilled and experienced boatmen are allowed to manoeuvre houseboats.<\/p>\n<p>Several onboard inspections and periodic audits are conducted for frequent maintenance. All of these houseboats have emergency alarm buttons for an emergency. Currently, the height of railings is increased for extra security.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-can-tourists-hire-houseboats-in-kerala\"><\/span>How can tourists hire Houseboats in Kerala?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tourists always have to book their houseboats in advance via websites. Tourists can also book their houseboats in advance through their tour operators. However, you can book boats on the spot but end up with low-quality boats. If there is increasing demand, you may also have to pay a higher price.<\/p>\n<p>Most people depend on their tour operators to hire these boats. Because with the help of your tour guide, you can choose houseboats as per your budget and provide all the necessary facilities. Moreover, these tour guides will also give information on the surrounding place.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For its marvelous natural beauty, Kerala is also getting popular with the name <strong>&#8220;God&#8217;s Own Country&#8221;.<\/strong> Houseboat rides play a significant role in the tourism industry of Kerala.
