Who we are
Your hosts on the Poovar backwaters
Crystal Grace Holidays is a travel company based near Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. We plan Poovar backwater boat rides for families, couples and groups, and bring guests to the boat from their hotel, the airport or the railway station.
We started with one simple idea: a backwater trip should feel easy from the first message. You see the price before you book, a real person answers on WhatsApp, and the boat is ready when you arrive.
Crystal Grace Holidays is run by Rejith and Crystal. We are a new, family-run team, and every trip is planned by one of us – from the first WhatsApp message to the moment you're back at your hotel.
What we stand for
Explore. Relax. Belong.
Local roots
Poovar is our backyard
Our boatmen grew up on these waters. They know where the kingfishers nest, when the estuary is calmest, and which floating restaurant makes the best fish fry.

One fixed price per boat
The price on this page is the price you pay. No commission mark-ups, no per-head surprises at the jetty.
Safety first
Life jackets for every guest, children included, and an experienced boatman who knows every channel.
Door to boat
Add a pickup from your hotel in Trivandrum or Kovalam, the airport or the railway station.
