About this experience

Board your private boat at Bolgoda Lake — one of Sri Lanka's most biodiverse freshwater stretches, just 45 minutes from Colombo — and spend three hours drifting through quieter channels at an unhurried pace. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide points out resident birdlife, native amphibians, and the lush bankside scenery that make this corner of the Bolgoda Environmental Protection Area worth the early start. A one-litre bottle of mineral water per person is included to keep you refreshed throughout.

This is a private safari: the boat is yours alone, with no shared decks or fixed group schedules. The minimum age is five years. Entrance fees, food, additional drinks, and gratuities are not included — bring local currency if you'd like to tip your guide or stop for a bite ashore.
