5.00There is no need to hire private transportation from Jaffna. You can easily travel by public bus if you prefer a budget-friendly option. Come directly to Delft Island and enjoy a full island tour with Cony, including a fishing experience and delicious fresh seafood. Highly recommended!

5.00Cony is an excellent guide with deep knowledge and a friendly, professional attitude. The tour was perfectly organized, including delicious fresh seafood, a peaceful sunset boat ride, and a private boat for a more personal experience. One of the highlights was seeing the freely roaming wild horses on the island. This tour was truly memorable. I highly recommend Cony to anyone visiting!
