I have had the pleasure of a Lagoon Safari in the past but I have not had an adventure like this one. To have the option of kayaking alone (with a guide, sure, but I'll get to that in a moment) was something I will take with me for a very long time. Such good memories. Myself and my partner decided to kayak together instead of taking the option of being rowed for. The kayaks are in great condition, you are given a quick run down on the "do's and don'ts" and a life jacket is available only if you so need. Safety is very much a priority here. You do feel as though you're in good hands. You are given a guide and before you know it you're on your way into the deep lagoon, one that seems to last forever and ever.. So much to see and to explore. As much as you're given a guide it felt as though he placed the tour in our hands. We went at our speed, we stopped where we wanted, took a little detour, just while under a bit of careful supervision. We had a mid point rest at a temple, like many other Lagoon Safaris, but luckily our guide had so much knowledge regarding the history of this temple. So it didn't just feel like a aimless walk around. He gave us an in-depth understanding about the temple and Buddhism in general. Towards the end we were on course to a beautiful sunset finish. We paddled right up to Dodanduwa rock, as we got out of our kayaks and climbed up we were treated to such a peaceful and serene sunset. After 3hrs (yes, three. hours!) we felt breathless, a little achy but our eyes had been fed the most beautiful views. We ate up the experience and felt absolutely full. Thank you to Lahiru, who helped organise this wonderful trip. You were great to talk with, very friendly yet also professional. Your family are such good people also. Nothing but good wishes to you and the future. We hope to see you again soon.

Thank you Lahiru and his family for a great morning in a wonderful and calm lagoon. A ride on a SUP board with a paddle, where you don’t need to be a super athlete. You can paddle by sitting or standing, as you wish. During the walk you can see monitor lizards, fish, bats and enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature. So relaxing and peaceful.

We finished our one month family adventure taking Lahiru's guided kayak tour and it was exactly what we needed and perfectly run! Lahiru and his family are so connected to this water way, the simple fishing culture, the wildlife and local conservation. We saw so much wildlife in a short time taking this very relaxing and non technical kayak tour! From giant flying fox bats overhead to 2m water lizards, eagles, giant crabs and tasting natural berries and fruit off the mangroves as we paddled, this was an amazing eco tourism experience that puts to shame some of the over commercialised 'safaris' in national parks. We'll done Lahiru for representing your nature tour in an authentic way! Highly recommended for families of all ages, fellow surfers, backpackers and those not sure you can handle a few gentle hours paddling calm waters of a beautiful jungle lagoon!

We had an incredible time!! It's a family run business and everyone was so friendly! The tour lasted about 2.5 hrs, starting at 4pm. They pointed out many different animals and birds, and gave us loads of chances to take photos. We even climbed a tree over the water and went on a very small island. We then had some Sri Lankan black tea which was lovely and looked in the embroidery shop that had some lovely pieces. I would highly recommend, we had a lovely time!

This was the most amazing kayak tour! A 10-star service from start to finish. The family is wonderful—super friendly and welcoming. They even gave us a free tuk-tuk ride to the starting point. Our guide was fantastic—he took great photos of us and showed us all the beautiful sights of the lagoon. The kayak trip lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Highly recommend it with all my heart!

We enjoyed a fantastic sunrise kayak trip on the lake which was well worth the early start! We saw bats, jumping fish, different types of birds and many water lizards. Lahiru pointed all the interesting things out to us along the way and we had a lot of nice and friendly chats. We had the chance to swim in the middle of the lagoon as well which was really nice. The Kayaks are in great condition and easy to manage and the whole trip felt very relaxed and not rushed. The trip was easy to book with great communication via WhatsApp. A very enjoyable trip and Lahiru even took many beautiful pictures for us to keep the nice memories 😊 At the end we enjoyed some hot tea made by Lahirus sweet mother and spent some nice time chatting. Thank you again for the fantastic trip! 😊

We had a great Lagoon Safari on Stand-up Paddleboards. It’s really easy on the lagoon since the water is so still and the boards used are very stable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we saw flying foxes, jumping fish, monitor lizards and eagles. We were right across to the Buddhist temple and also had the possibility to swim. It’s very organized with showers and a changing area, we even had a cup of tea and free pick-up / drop-off service. I highly recommend this tour 😃
