About this experience

Salite a bordo di una barca al Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary e scivolate attraverso una delle zone umide costiere più biodverse dello Sri Lanka. Situato sulla costa sud-orientale nel distretto di Hambantota, Kalametiya fa parte della cintura costiera "Ruk" — un tratto di lagune, affioramenti rocciosi, baie e spiagge sabbiose che si estende da Tangalle a Hambantota. La vostra guida esperta fornisce commenti durante tutto il percorso, indicandovi le specie di uccelli residenti e migratori tra le canne e i mangroveti durante questa escursione privata di due ore.

Questa è un'attività privata, quindi il ritmo è vostro. I bambini dai cinque anni in su sono benvenuti a bordo. Le mance e il cibo o le bevande non sono inclusi, quindi portate uno spuntino e una bottiglia d'acqua per la mattina. Lakpura organizza tutto il resto — basta arrivare e lasciar che il santuario si dispieghi intorno a voi.
