Brilliant tour and guides!

Zoe_L, Dec 2025
The guides were lovely, full of knowledge and really helpful in teaching us how to canoe! Our daughter became ill during the tour and they were so good, got us collected from the riverside and dropped back to our hotel. Can’t recommend this company enough!

Enjoyable, well-organized excursion with an excellent guide. A fantastic way to spot diverse plant and animal life up close!

Enjoying in Unawatuna

Beautiful setting, through the mangrove. Sometimes even a passage as wide as a canoe. Guides are very knowledgeable and think of nature.
