Over deze ervaring

Board your private boat at Negombo and spend two hours drifting along the Hamilton Canal — the historic Dutch-built waterway that threads through the quiet villages and mangroves of Waikkal. Your English-speaking guide points out kingfishers, water monitors, and fishing communities along the banks as the canal opens into wider stretches of brackish backwater. A qualified rescue and first-aid crew member is on board throughout, and a 500 ml bottle of water is provided per person.

Hotel pick-up and drop-off around Negombo Beach are included, so there's no need to arrange your own transport to the water. The tour runs for exactly two hours and is operated as a private experience, meaning you share the boat only with your own group. Children aged five and above are welcome. Personal expenses and anything not listed in the inclusions are not covered.

Long live the sewers to tourists, you can find there your etron of the day before.
It's the main sewage collector in Negombo... the gogos will visit the canal and then the lagoon that breaks all the records of lead pollution in Asia... Thanks to the rain, it appears less polluted.
