The backwaters of Muttukadu are away from the crows of beaches and oceans in the city. Try stand up paddling, kayaking or rafting in these backwaters that are isolated from the rest of the town. As the water isn't very deep, you could try windsurfing and water skiing too. Local trekking clubs or surfing schools like Bay of Life rent paddle boats and other gear.
