You can have a day cruise by houseboat from 11 AM to 05 PM. May costs around Rs 5000 to Rs 5500.

You can contact the lemon tree resorts. They provide houseboats for day tours as well as overnight tours. Hope it helps.

I refer you to my reply in another thread:

Just returned from Alleppey and if you are not staying the night on a houseboat then I recommend hiring a shikara boat.

We paid 300Rs per hour (including driver) and the boat could seat upto 6 people - we did a 4 hour cruise which was sufficient. Included a stop for a snack and a walk around a beautiful paddy field area.

The shikaras can go places that the houseboats cant as they are much smaller - just turn up at Alleppey boat jetty and you will see boats and drivers hanging around waiting for customers. I recommend starting early in the morning so you are out before the houseboat traffic begins!
