Boat Tours
Guided boat tours are a must! It’s the best way to explore the dense mangroves adorning the banks of the majestic Madu River. With over 110 species of birds, 70 species of fish, 50 species of butterflies and 30 species of reptiles, discovering the rich biodiversity of Sri Lanka’s third largest river is an unforgettable experience.
Try to spot all the animals or simply lay back and enjoy the peaceful serenity of nature. The captain of the boat is at your command; whether you’d like to visit the cinnamon islands around the lagoon or indulge in a fish-foot massage, the choice is yours. All boat trips will collect you directly from our private dock at the villa and return you safely home after.
Diving
Bentota is a popular diving stop where you can witness vibrant corals and large schools of fish around Canoe Rock, South Reef and Hundirangala: tours are arranged for tourists in the Bentota area and a minimum of two guests are required to proceed with these tours.
