Balapitiya River Tour

The southern coast of Sri Lanka is home to Balapitiya, which mixes enjoyment, culture, and nature. Start with a thrilling boat safari on the Balapitiya River where you can find out about the verdant mangrove forests and take in the Madu River’s thriving ecosystem. With its fifteen or so islets and a plethora of wildlife, the river provides a tranquil and tropical experience. Learn about the local customs surrounding fishing, like stick fishing which preserves the area’s cultural legacy by having fishermen cast nets in shallow waters while standing on stilts. Sail through lush mangroves, small islands and serene waterways on a peaceful boat ride down the Madu River. You may even spot birds, water monitors and occasionally monkeys. Last but not least, relax at the gorgeous Balapitiya Beach, the ideal location for a beach vacation where you can swim, unwind and enjoy a cool drink from a nearby juice bar.
