Maadu River - Balapitiya

Maadu River - Balapitiya

Experience a peaceful boat journey through the scenic Madu Ganga estuary, one of Sri Lanka’s most important wetland ecosystems. This shallow brackish water lagoon is home to a rich variety of wildlife and over 60 small and large islets, making it one of the most beautiful lagoon experiences on the south-west coast.

The highlight of this experience is gliding through mangrove tunnels, cinnamon islands, and calm waterways, while spotting birds, reptiles, and aquatic life along the way. Madu Ganga is also known for its endangered mangrove ecosystem and traditional cinnamon cultivation islands that are still active today.

This is a relaxing nature experience, ideal for families, photographers, and nature lovers looking for a quiet escape near Bentota and Hikkaduwa.
