A great boat trip - A wonderful boat trip around this huge lake with a very informative guide, Sasi, who told us all about the lake and pointed out various plants and trees. He even found a black faced monkey up in the trees. after feeding a very friendly monkey, we were taken to Cinnamon Island, where we were given a tour and shown how cinnamon is made from the branches. a very relaxing and informative way to spend a couple of hours.

Top boat safari! - Beautiful boat tour and various animals seen. The highlight was the monkeys we were allowed to feed. We were picked up and dropped off with a tuktuk. The tour guide knew a lot about the animals. We also visited cinnamon island during the tour and then we got an explanation in the herbal garden. Definitely recommended!
