For nature lovers, a boat safari in Madu Ganga offers an unforgettable experience through Sri Lanka’s largest wetland ecosystem. Located in Balapitiya, this tranquil river is dotted with 64 small islands, many covered in dense mangroves that are home to exotic birds, monitor lizards, and even crocodiles. One of the highlights of the safari is visiting a floating cinnamon farm, where you can see how Sri Lanka’s famous cinnamon is grown and processed.

The journey also takes you to ancient Buddhist temples hidden within the mangroves, providing a glimpse into the country’s spiritual heritage. If you’re lucky, you may even get a chance to dip your feet into a natural fish spa, where tiny fish nibble away dead skin, leaving your feet refreshed. Whether you’re an adventurer or someone looking to relax amidst nature, Madu Ganga’s river safari is a must-try experience.
