Overview
The Madu Ganga is one of Sri Lanka's most enchanting natural treasures — a vast, mirror-calm river lagoon fringed by ancient mangroves and dotted with 64 small islands, each with its own temple, monastery, or cinnamon garden. A guided motorboat safari through these tranquil waterways is a truly peaceful experience, as herons glide overhead and monitor lizards bask on the mossy banks.
- Glide through 64 mangrove islands on a guided motorboat safari
- Spot crocodiles, water monitor lizards, kingfishers, and purple herons
- Visit a cinnamon island and learn how Ceylon cinnamon is grown and harvested
- See ancient island temples and Buddhist shrines scattered across the lagoon
- UNESCO Ramsar Wetland — one of Sri Lanka's most important ecosystems
