Madu Ganga Boat Safari
Tour Overview
This one-hour tour takes you on a boat safari through the primitive depths of the mangrove marshes in Madu River. Traverse the dark and dangerous caverns formed by the thick mangrove forests; interspersed with bright open stretches of water. Learn more about mangroves and their positive effects on ecology.
Get a chance to see crocodiles, water snakes, tree snakes and wild boars in their natural habitat. Watch the cormorants; storks and much other avian life hunts for their prey in swift flow of Madu River. View the pots for catching prawn and shrimp left in some of the shallower areas of the river.
Visit the old Buddhist temple on one of the islands that dot the river liberally. Stop by another of the islands; which are the source of the cinnamon industry of Sri Lanka. Purchase some fresh, high-quality cinnamon to take home as a souvenir. Make sure to visit the outdoor fish massage parlor, where you can dangle your feet into a fenced part of the river to get treated by the massage fish. SKU: LK60031300

Customer Reviews
This tour didn't include the Buddhist temple we wanted to visit. We only made one stop, at cinnamon island (the lady on the island explaining about cinnamon was knowledgeable though). The boat driver hardly spoke English. He asked us if he could speak German to us, but we don't speak German at all. There are plenty of other operators on place doing this tour, so I'd suggest to just go there and choose one that provides multiple stops. This one is to be avoided though.
