Best lagoon cruise with Nishan including feeding the monkeys - Brilliant excursion. Nishan was a great guide and took good care of us. Loved eating the fruit sitting on stools in the water. My son’s highlight was feeding the monkeys - they were very keen to try the fruit. Definitely recommend.

Great time on the Lagoon. - Had a great time on this tour and loved the scenery, visiting monkey island and enjoying fresh fruit for lunch. Nishan is an outstanding guide, always looking after our welfare and very good at answering all our questions. Well worth doing!

Negombo lagoon delight - We combined this tour with the tuk tuk one with Nishan and I highly recommend doing both. The boat trip is pleasant and relaxing. The fresh fruit platter with coconut water to drink whilst sitting at a table in the water was quirky and refreshing. We then shared the fruit with some gentle monkeys who came onto the boat as we nudged up to Monkey Island. It was good to see a different perspective of some of the sights we had seen by tuk tuk.

Would recommend this nice guy! - Such a sweet guide! He picked us up from our hotel with his tuktuk and made sure we had enough water. The boottour-lunch was in a shallow part of the river, with our feet in the water, and they gave us a nice lunch with a lot of fruit. Then we went to see more mangroves and even some monkeys, which were adorable! Choose this guide, he's very nice!

Amazing tour! Recommend it - It was so much fun! We were picked up from our hotel, driven in an tuk tuk towards the boat. The tourguide could tell about the houses on the side and about the Church. We saw a lot of birds, crabs and jellyfishes. Had a nice fruit lunch half in the water. We even saw a few monkeys (who came on the boat). Super friendly and not agressive monkeys. The guide was super nice, friendly and knew a lot about negombo
