About this experience

Head out onto Bolgoda Lake — one of Sri Lanka's largest natural freshwater lakes — for a private 90-minute fishing session. Your guide supplies all the equipment you need, and a boat ride takes you across the calm water to the best spots. With around 40 species of freshwater fish in the lake, there is always something to pull in, whether you're an experienced angler or casting a line for the first time.

This is a private activity, so it's just your group on the boat. Minimum age is 12. The boat ride and fishing equipment are included; hotel pick-up and drop-off are not arranged by Lakpura, so plan your own transport to the lake. Gratuities for your guide are optional but appreciated.
