Overview

Glide through a living mangrove forest with our Madu River Boat Safari - a private day trip for travelers who love peaceful nature, birdlife, and hidden river islands. The Madu River near Balapitiya is a protected wetland and one of Sri Lanka's richest mangrove ecosystems, home to dozens of small islands, water birds, and quiet temple shrines. With stops at Cinnamon Island and the island temple of Kothduwa, plus a relaxing natural fish therapy spa, this is the most scenic river safari on the south coast.

  • Cruise the mangrove channels of the protected Madu River wetland
  • Spot water birds, monitor lizards, and lush tropical scenery
  • Visit Cinnamon Island and the peaceful Kothduwa island temple
  • Try a relaxing natural fish therapy spa during the safari
  • Easy private transfer from Bentota, Hikkaduwa, or Galle
