Hi , Hope the information below would be helpful •Madu Boat safari No:07 •Jaliya Boat service

You usually hire a boat but if there are enough solo or couples wanting to do the tour at the same time then they can entertain per person fees as well. As far as I remember we paid 4000-4500 LKR for one hour tour. We were a family of 5 + they let our guide sit with us in the boat. It was a pretty fun 1 hour. Also had a fish massage and drank tea at cinnamon tea farm during the boat ride.

Hi Aisra Not sure of the exact name, but all the boat trips are clones of one another. I personally would not take a one year old as the boats are very old and shabby. Not exactly sea worthy vessels. Safety equipment is questionable too. Honestly, head for the beach, I saw more wildlife (kingfishers, sea eagles, sand pipers, water monitors, squirrels) there than on the entire Madu river. Hope this helps. Have a great trip, Sri Lanka is lovely just not the Madu river aspect.

I got to know from some locals that boating on Bentota river is much better as you get to see crocodiles. The driver will normally take you to MADU river where he will get a higher commission The driver will tell you that at BENTOTA RIVER no cinnamon island,temple etc ........Honestly cinnamon island is not all that great and the boating not all that interesting So better go for boating at BENTOTA RIVER We paid 8,000 Srilankan Rupees for 3 people which i think was on the higher side and definitely the driver must have taken a higher commission

It’s depends on how long your traveling and which boat you choose.

C'est la location d'un bateau, dépend du nombre de personnes dessus. Gros groupe de l'ordre de 500 roupi

Madu river is in Balapitiya which is abt 2 hrs from Colombo We went on the old road which is narrower than the newly made highway as it takes quite a while to get to the access point of the highway from Colombo Hope this helps !
