Negombo Lagoon and Fishing Village Day Tour
Negombo is where fishing life meets the airport coast. This easygoing day includes a boat ride through the lagoon and mangroves, a visit to a fishing community and the early fish market, where the catch is sorted and sold.
It works well on your first or last day, close to the airport and your hotel. Early starts reward you with the busiest, most photogenic market activity.
Highlights
- A boat ride through lagoon channels and mangroves
- The busy fish market and beach drying yards
- Traditional outrigger boats along the shore
