dutch fort - negombo

by Oscar_Nonis

Negombo situated by the shores of a lagoon by the same name once has been a trading port for Portugese and Dutch and is a ideal place for those who want quick access to and from the airport. Attractions in the city are the old Dutch fort gate built in 1672 now a part of the prison, the Dutch Canal which was then a supply route to the Dutch administration, old churches and fishing villagers. The 100km long canal running through the town is still being used and is an attraction for those who want to see the country from a different perspective

	Delta boat trip Tip Rating:

Delta area near Negombo

by Robert_Hun

There are many boats along the beach. They belong mostly to fishermen who sometimes offer tourists a boat trip around the neighboring shore and the delta area of a river. It takes cca. 3 hours and you can see the rain forest, the mangrove, the "compulsory" coconut-picking show, visit a local farm and try the local brandy (arak). It's a natural and wild area and a good chance to meet some local people doing their everyday business.
I don't remember exactly but the price was around 50 USD per boat (2-6 people) but, of course, you have to bargain.

Directions: Just ask the local guys on the beach.
