Description

Explore the Negombo Lagoon on a guided kayaking tour. Paddle through calm waters, spot exotic birds, and learn about the local fishing culture.
Immerse yourself in a serene kayaking adventure through the scenic waters of the Negombo Lagoon, a haven for nature lovers nestled near Sri Lanka’s bustling west coast. Discover the lagoon’s lush mangrove ecosystem, vibrant birdlife, and traditional fishing culture — all from the comfort of a two-person kayak.

Begin with a 15-minute introductory session led by a qualified local guide or lifeguard, ensuring both beginners and seasoned kayakers feel confident and safe on the water. Once you're ready, glide through calm, crystal-clear waters at your own pace — either paddling solo, with a friend, or alongside an experienced paddling assistant.

As you navigate the gentle waterways, weave through mangrove islands teeming with life, spot exotic bird species, and gain a unique perspective of Negombo’s traditional fishing lifestyle. Depending on the time of your tour, you may also be treated to a stunning sunrise or sunset casting golden hues across the water.

Adventurous guests may even enjoy a refreshing sea bath near the lagoon’s edge, weather permitting. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful, eco-friendly escape or a more active outing to boost your fitness, this kayaking experience offers the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.
