We had a fantastic day cruising through Muthurajawela Sanctuary, soaking in the lush scenery and vibrant wildlife. The highlight for us was definitely the birdwatching; we spotted everything from kingfishers to herons, which made the whole experience feel magical. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the ecosystem, enhancing our appreciation for the sanctuary. The boat was comfortable and provided a perfect vantage point for taking photos. One minor suggestion would be to include a bit more time at the end for some leisurely exploration of the area, as we rushed back to our starting point. Overall, this adventure was an unforgettable way to connect with nature while enjoying the company of friends.

Exploring the serene waterways of Muthurajawela Sanctuary was a beautiful escape for us, where the lush greenery and diverse birdlife felt almost untouched. We loved gliding quietly through the mangroves on the boat, with our guide’s knowledge enhancing our appreciation for the stunning environment. Our only wish was for a bit more time to soak in the sights and sounds, but overall, it was a refreshing day filled with nature’s wonders in Negombo.
