It is a very relaxing experience while enjoying the scenery by overlooking both Sigiriya and Pidurangala Rocks. You can decide which session (morning sunrise/evening sunset) you want to experience depending on your travel plan. We are using a catamaran and you can sit on the deck before starting the activity. Up to 6 members can sit comfortably on the deck. I will be providing life jackets for your safety. I will tell you the stories about the history behind Sigiriya and Pidurangala when those places were occupied by the King Kashyapa (473-491 AD) and also by the monks. Pidurangala was the mein temple in 5th C.AD therefore a lot of activities happened in between Sigiriya and Pidurangala. We can discuss those as well while enjoying the vibe. Also you can observe about 40 water-birds along with their behaviours. We can take a note or list down their names by looking in the bird guide book. The scenery is the main attraction of the boat ride. It is really beautiful!

Sri Lanka is famed for its tasty and fresh cuisine, but many of the country’s best cooking practices take place in rural surroundings—far off the usual tourist track. During this private, half-day village immersion tour in Sigiriya, travelers will learn how to prepare a traditional meal from scratch in the home of a local family. Then, sit down and enjoy dishes like lake fish curry or coconut roti together.
