Madu River, which flows across Balapitiya is one of the most bio-diversity rich water safari one can take. With a cluster of 64 small islands, and a world of mangrove, the boat rides offer a scenic excursion covering “Kurundu Doowa (Cinnamon Isle)” where a family maintains a cinnamon plantation, “Koth Doowa” (Island of the Pinnacle) which has a serene Buddhist temple, and fish foot therapy.
‘Gangabada Asiriya’ boat service provides safari that enable you to observe this biodiversity and mangrove environments of Madu river. Founded 15 years ago by the boat service has since grown with benefits from the owner’s experience in trade shipping.
