We did it again! - We did it again and it was great again! Definitely a must do when you are near Negombo.
Sarath picked us up at the hotel with bus and driver and... read more took us to the boat. So no long walking through hot Negombo with its uncredible traffic.
Dutch Canal was closed due need for cleaning but the lagoon and the Muthurajawela Marsh with all its birds and animals was a great experience. One of the top events was the monkey feeding in the jungle. Sarath made it that they can jump on the boat to grab the pineapple pieces we offered. So we can shoot a lot of low distance pictures of the monkeys.
Inside the marsh Sarath knows a nice place where we rested a while for bathing, food and cold beverages he organized for us and so it was a great time.
Sarath understand English and German and therefore we had no problems to communicate. Tell him before your trip what you want to see and he will arrange it. He knows everything about the country and the wildlife. E.g. we asked for the Flying Foxes and he simply turned around the boat and brought us to the place they are.
We would always go with Sarath again.
Sunset Cruise, Canals and Ma Oya River, Negombo - Sarath was the perfect guide for my partner and I to experience the canals and rivers. He has an incredible eye and pointed out animals we would otherwise have missed... read more - everything from monitors swimming or lazing in the trees to a tiny little green chameleon amongst the grass on the river bank. He treated us to fresh coconuts and red bananas along the way and we motored back to our starting point capturing a magnificent RED sunset en route. Truly magical! Treat yourself. You won’t be disappointed!
Lovely boat tour in Negombo lagoons - We had 2 boats for 9 people and Sarath took great care of us. The boat trip of 3-4h starts in the canal and then we went to the lagoon.... read more Monkeys came on our boat. Cold water is provided on the boat. And everything is very reasonably priced!
What a find this was. I contacted them through their website and we booked a 3.5 hour boat trip. We were picked up from our hotel in Negombo. We boarded... read more the boat on the canal, sailed into the lagoon and visited the Mangroves. We were told all the birds, animals and plants we saw. We spent a while with the wild monkeys and didn’t stop smiling from start to finish.
If you do one thing in Negombo, book this trip.
