Munroe Island is one of the calmest backwater destinations in Kerala, perfect for travellers who want slow mornings, green views, village life, and quiet water routes. At Munroe Island Lake Resort, we welcome guests who come here for rest, canoe rides, local food, and a closer look at life beside Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River.
Why Visit Munroe Island?
Munroe Island is known for narrow canals, coconut trees, paddy fields, birds, and peaceful backwater views. A canoe ride is the best way to see the island at its natural pace. You can pass through small water channels, watch local fishing, see coir-making, and enjoy the shade of mangrove forests. The island gives you a soft break from crowded tourist spots while keeping you close to Kollam town.
Best Time to Plan Your Trip
The best season to visit Munroe Island is from October to March. The weather is pleasant, the water routes are calm, and outdoor activities feel comfortable. Monsoon months from June to September bring deep green scenery and fresh air, though rain may affect boating plans. Summer can be warm, so early morning canoe trips and evening walks are better.
How to Reach Munroe Island
Munroe Island has good access by road and rail. Travellers can reach Kollam first and then continue to the island by road. Munroe Island Railway Station is close to the main village area, making it easy for train travellers. If you are flying in, Trivandrum International Airport is the nearest major airport. From there, you can travel by taxi or train.
Things to Do in Munroe Island
Start your day with a canoe tour through the backwaters. Morning trips are popular because the light is soft, birds are active, and village life begins slowly along the banks. You can also try fishing, pedal boating, cycling, photography, and local food tasting. At Munroe Island Lake Resort, guests can enjoy canoe boating, houseboat-style experiences, fishing, Kerala dishes, and peaceful spaces for yoga and relaxation.
