A lovely trip on The Bentota River - A very enjoyable trip on the Bentota River. Pick up and return trip worked perfectly. We were pleased to be accompanied by Kaveesha who along with the Captain, helped with the bird, bats, crocodile spotting and provided lots of interesting information about the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a lovely experience sailing through the mangroves. Highly recommended and great value.
