Must do swamp, canal and lagoon boat adventure - From pushing off with our 'captain' through the canals we were treated to amazing mangroves, bird life, reptiles and jumping fish. We photographed a rarely seen white Kingfisher, white bellied sea eagle and a large purple heron. We were treated to fresh watermelon and king coconut. Watching a group of monkeys enjoy their bananas was comical. Thankyou and highly recommended.

Observing the tranquility of nature. - A tranquil and very enjoyably experience witnessing the natural beauty of the wetlands. During our boat ride we saw numerous birds including a variety of king fishers, herons, a lapwing and a kite. Additionally we were fortunate to see a baby crocodile. A wonderful trip and would certainly highly recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in nature or seeking some tranquility.

Great experience - I recommend it. About an hour from our hotel in Colombo, we took a tuk-tuk through the local city to the boat dock. The driver, Samith, was safe driving and was able to ride safely. I would like to take part in another boat tour one day where you can meet various birds and creatures while going slowly in beautiful scenery.

Great services and good boat trip - Very flexible organizer: we got taken a wrong tuk-tuk, which brought us to a cage in Negombo, but after contact with the driver he came and picked us up and two g us about 35 minutes out and south of Negombo, where our bpdriver and guide patiently waited. We saw several bird species and some varans, but unfortunately not monkeys and the Kingfisher bird

I liked the fish massage experience. - It is a boat safari tour, but there is spot sightseeing. The fish massage experience was good.  They served us mango juice after boarding. If it is Rs 10,000, it is a tourist destination price.
