This is a must do activity and happens in the morning. There are many agencies who take you on private or in large groups. The charges vary accordingly so you need to understand this detail from your driver before you book your trip. Excellent views and great experience. They also take you to a Buddha Temple during this trip and also a Cinnamon field area where they will explain and sell you cinnamon products
Great Boat Cruise

A wonderful experience and worth the time, effort and value for money. Our first memorable moment was when we spotted an alligator hidden deep in the mangrove. It was sleeping peacefully while we admired it unfortunately could not get a proper click. Then we went for fish foot therapy. It was very ticklish for me but worth a try. After that next stop was Cinnamon island where an old couple reside and tend to the cinnamon trees. The lady showed us how the bark is prepared into cinnamon sticks and we were offered fragrant cinnamon tea. Next stop was the monastery island. Two monks look after the monastery and it is dotted with lovely sculptures of various disciple of Buddha. The monktied the sacred thread on our wrists and blessed us, our families and even added a blessing for our country. We concluded the tour with a beautiful sunset over the sea. Overall a wonderful experience. Our boatman kept us entertained with snippets of information and stories. Two hours well spent.
Great experience
