This tour was so much fun and there are surprises along the way that they do not advertise! The Tour manager was excellent and spoke excellent English and is very knowledgeable. The boat ride was so interesting with a trip to the harbors and the ocean along with the canals. I loved every moment of it!!! Definitely worth the time and money! I highly recommend. To anyone visiting Negombo!
90 minutes boat ride

The boat ride was good and was what I was expecting, except the ride in tbe canal. Canal is narrow and sides are not very clean. Our boat fellow didn't go too far only 3quarters of the way to the first bridge. Two boats crossing each other is very bumpy as the canal is very barrow and boats moored on both sides. Boat guys don't mind bumping into each other. Ride in the actual lagoon is pretty good, variety of birds can be seen. We opted out of the food option so our trip was 90 minutes. Boatman had brought bananas, biscuits to feed the monkeys that live in the marshes. That was fun to watch monkeys at close quarters until they came too close, that was scary. Got to keep a tight hold on all your belongings. Overall very good. I think late afternoon is a good time when it is bit cooler. I am not sure what the fair price is for this ride but it seems that 6000 lankan rupees was the going rate for a 90 minute tide.
Cracking hours cruise.

Picked up slightly late from the Jetwing Beach hotel by a friendly tuk tuk driver for a 20 minute journey where I was transferred to a boat with a cover but open sides - ideal. The lagoon was lovely and we passed old fishing boats, some damaged by tbe Tsunami. Beautiful stop to sit ankle deep on a chair in warm water and enjoy a huge fruit selection. Then to monkey island where monkeys come on to the boat and finish the fruit! Tuk tuk back - about 2h in all. A lovely way to spend an hour, excellent easy going guides and a thoroughly recommended tour.
Worth the time

Great experience! Terrific guide who explained things along the way, morning tea was plentiful and saw a great deal of wildlife most of which spotted by the guide or boat operator such as snakes, monkeys, and lizards.
Great tour of the lagoon...

Great tour of the lagoon and mangroves. Delicious fruit morning tea, and I loved the fresh oyster straight from the lagoon. Knowledgeable, friendly guides, gave lots of history of the area and identified the birds. Saw some monkeys and a water monitor too

We loved this lagoon tour with Raju! It was very interesting learning more about fishing and mangroves, and we got to see plenty of animals (different birds, macaques, water monitors, fish, hermit crabs, oysters). The stop to have some fruit and a king coconut drink in the water was wonderful. Would highly recommend!
