Overview
The Bentota River lagoon is a hidden world of calm water, ancient mangroves, and rich wildlife just minutes from the beach. A guided motorboat safari takes you deep into the mangrove channels where water monitors up to two metres long bask on the roots, kingfishers dart through the foliage, and traditional fishing boats drift silently past. A perfect complement to a Bentota beach day.
