Perhaps this may be not a very famous activity in Sri Lanka. But I highly recommend the Maadu river boat ride.
This is about 2 hours boat ride along the beautiful Maadu River. The boat rides starts from either Balapitiya or Galle (southern Sri Lanka).
This is a relaxing trip with plenty of interesting stops. You will see dozens of islets forested with mangroves.
Keep in mind that this is not a luxury boat. You cruise in a canopied, outboard motor powered boat. But it is very safe.
What will you see?
- More than 40 varieties of birds and 14 aquatic varieties
- Rural lifestyle
- A 200-year-old temple
- Locals cultivating cinnamon.
- Variety of wild flowers and butterflies
This is a good tour to take when you are travelling from Colombo to Galle.
Just want to tell you thank you! for all the great info found on your blog, even helped me with my job recently
keep it up!
