Lagoon Tour vs. Wilpattu Boat & Jeep Safari
If you want a relaxed 3-hour wetland and mangrove boat cruise without entering the national park, the Kalpitiya River & Lagoon Tour is the ideal choice. If you want to track wild leopards, sloth bears, and elephants inside Sri Lanka’s largest national park, choose our Half-Day or Full-Day Wilpattu Safari by Boat & 4×4 Jeep.
What Is Included
- Private fibreglass lagoon boat with experienced local skipper
- Life jackets and safety equipment for adults and children
- Fresh tropical fruit refreshments and bottled drinking water
