Matsyafed Malipuram Fish Farm-Aqua Tourism

"A Breathtaking Journey into Nature's Harmony"

Nestled amidst the serene backwaters of Kerala lies a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable experience - the Matsyafed Malippuram Fish Farm. My recent visit to this mesmerizing fish farm left me spellbound, offering a perfect blend of nature's wonders and unparalleled tranquility.

The first thing that caught my attention was the sight of majestic flying fishes gracefully gliding over the shimmering waters. It was a surreal spectacle, one that truly captures the essence of nature's beauty. The mangrove forests surrounding the farm added to the allure, creating a picturesque backdrop that seemed straight out of a postcard.

The highlight of my visit was the enchanting boating experience. Drifting along the tranquil waters, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature, was nothing short of magical. The calmness of the surroundings was a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The farm itself is a testament to sustainable aquaculture practices. The well-maintained facilities and knowledgeable staff showcase a deep commitment to preserving the delicate ecosystem while providing a memorable experience for visitors.

The overall ambiance of the farm exudes tranquility and harmony, making it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts, families, and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. I highly recommend a visit to Matsyafed Malippuram Fish Farm for an unforgettable journey into nature's embrace.

The best place to spend a day. This place provides the facilities to spend your day and make it a memorable one. Last time we visited,the road to reach this place was under construction.It was difficult to drive the car through that road as it was flooded too. You have to buy tickets before entering. There are different packages and the cost also varies. There is boating facilities( pedal boat) through mangroves and in the fish farm we have rowing boat. There are different activities like fishing, boating and also to watch "meenchattam". It was a good experience to see fish jump, but should be careful as they might jump on us.In the package they provide tea, a snack(pazhampori) and lunch. The lunch is tasty and the prawns pickle tastes awesome. Along with this, you can even order other things like crabs, prawns,kakka and even chicken and beef items are available which are at afforable rates. After this you can even visit the beach nearby, Malipuram Beach. Its not tha tsafe to go alone to that beach as its kind of abandoned area. There are trees,similar to kuzhippily beach , where you can chill and enjoy( please go in grps for safety).

Such an amazing experience with that boat ride.My daughter was afraid when those fish came hitting on boat.Got 2 fish in boat but didnt buy them.

I went there with my friends.... We enjoyed a lot... Especially the self rowing boat.... Flying fish... Fishing etc... But when you go.. you should take cap and cooling glass... And the road there is too bad... Should be careful while you drive to there...

It's a nice place to spend with family. Tasty food complimentary pedal boat, kutta vanji, and fishing..

Pleasant ambience.. gud place for one day spending with family.. entry, boating, fishing, lunch fish curry and fry with ice cream, tea or welcome drink per person is 350rs..

Positives:
- It's a nice place to spend a day with family.
- Superb Food.
- Really enjoyed catching fish , row boating and pedal boating.
- There is an adjacent beach also nearby.

Negatives:
The downside is that, the mangrove forest is not well maintained, the walkway is rusty. A little more maintenance, especially the mangrove forest can uplift the overall experience.

Final verdict:

We really enjoyed the place and planning to visit again.

Great place for a prefect weekend getaway. There are various packages available which include various activities amongst the mangroves including a light snack and lunch. Activities include peddle boating, rowing boat, motor boat ride, fishing, walk amongst the mangroves. Whole day filled up with fun and beautiful sights. The food served are also tasty and excellent staff support who are friendly and welcoming. Be ready with an attire that is comfortable to walk in little high water as it is a low lying piece of land and the high tide and low tide sometimes makes the place little messy... On the other side of the road is Mali kadapuram so you can enjoy the beach also before you return. Local shops available to buy things. Would highly recommend

Good place.. Must visit place

We went through club Mahindra for flying fish view ... It was a different experience. Would recommend to anyone who loves nature and doesn't cry about small discomforts :). It's not exceptional but a a nice getaway. The boat ride for flying fishes and the guide was very supportive and caring.

A good place to spent one whole day. Foodies can expect fresh fish delicacies. Place offers lunch, boating & fishing with the entry fee. The main activity is "fish jumping" where the visitors are taken out on a boat to the fish farm. While the boats encircle the farm fishes jump out of water. A few unlucky ones may even get into your boat.its your choice to leave them Bak to water or buy for dinner at a cost 😉
