Why this place stands out
Kattampally Kayaking Centre, or Waddle World, is a DTPC water-sports attraction near Kannur offering kayaks, small recreational boats, a floating walkway and family facilities in a backwater setting.
Kattampally Kayaking Centre, also promoted by DTPC Kannur as Waddle World, is a water-recreation destination around 10 km from Kannur town in Keralam. DTPC describes it as the first kayaking initiative of its kind under the State Tourism Department and lists a substantial collection of equipment, including single and double kayaks, pedal boats for children, water taxis and inflatable boats. The centre also features a floating walkway and a separate children's area, giving it a broader recreational character than a simple kayak-launch point.
Its setting in the Kattampally wetland and backwater landscape allows visitors to experience a quieter inland waterscape close to Kannur city. A zero-waste policy is another noteworthy part of the project's tourism approach. Kattampally is well suited to travellers looking for a short active outing, families seeking a water-based attraction, or visitors who want to add backwater scenery to an itinerary otherwise focused on Kannur's beaches, forts and cultural sites.
Activity availability can depend on operational and weather conditions.
