What you can expect

  • Escape on a relaxing private 2 hour boat safari across the calm waters of Koggala Lake, surrounded by lush mangroves, tropical birds, and quiet island villages. This authentic, family-run experience is led by friendly local guides who share stories about village life, culture, and the lake’s unique ecosystem.

    Peaceful & Relaxing Experience

    Koggala Lake is calm and quiet, perfect for a slow, stress-free boat ride. Escape busy tourist areas, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of mangroves and tropical plants.

    Birds & Wildlife, Monkey Feeding Experience

    Discover wildlife in its natural habitat as you cruise through the calm waterways of Koggala Lake. Spot a variety of birds, playful monkeys, giant water monitor lizards, and with some luck, a crocodile resting naturally in the mangroves.

    The highlight of the tour is hand-feeding friendly monkeys — a rare and unforgettable experience that many travellers say is the best part of the safari.

    Authentic Nature & Mangrove Ecosystem

    The lake is surrounded by lush mangroves and tropical plants, giving visitors a chance to experience Sri Lanka’s unique wetland ecosystem and learn how it protects wildlife and the environment.

    Cultural & Traditional Experience

    Step onto Cinnamon Island and watch a local family demonstrate how world-famous Ceylon cinnamon is made by hand. Smell, touch, and taste fresh cinnamon while learning about its health benefits. It’s a real cultural experience, not a show.
    Guests may purchase authentic cinnamon products directly from the producers (optional).

    Perfect for Photography

    Capture beautiful reflections, birds, hidden islands, and lush greenery — ideal for nature, wildlife, and travel photography.

    Suitable for All Ages

    • Children 1–12 years: free
