Discover a different side of Koggala Lake, where tropical nature, wildlife and traditional island life come together.

Step aboard your private boat and leave the busy tourist areas behind. Cruise across the peaceful waters of Koggala Lake, passing lush mangroves, small tropical islands and quiet lakeside communities.

Keep your eyes open as you explore. Depending on the day, you may spot monkeys among the trees, colorful kingfishers, herons, egrets, water monitors and other wildlife living around the lake.

But this experience is about more than wildlife.

As you travel between the islands, your local guide will introduce you to everyday life around Koggala Lake. See local fishermen at work, learn about traditional fishing methods and hear stories about the families who have lived around the lake for generations.

Continue to Cinnamon Island, where you will meet a local family and discover one of Sri Lanka's most famous traditions. See how authentic Ceylon cinnamon is prepared by hand and learn about the process from tree to finished cinnamon.

Enjoy a refreshing cinnamon drink before returning to your boat.

With a private boat reserved for your group, you can experience the lake at a comfortable pace, enjoy beautiful photo opportunities and spend more time appreciating the scenery.

Come not only to see Koggala Lake, but to discover the nature, islands and local life that make it special.
