Madu River Boat Safari
The estuary of the Madu Ganga river is a complex coastal ecosystem of mangroves and islands. Madu Ganga is Sri Lanka’s second largest wetland and it may be one of the last remaining tracts of pristine mangrove forests in Sri Lanka. The river is dotted with small islands and the banks are all covered with lush mangrove forests that are home to dozens of incredible animal species and can spot hundreds of dazzling tropical birds and a few crocodiles depending on the time. A boat trip is a wonderful way of seeing some of the hundreds of species of plants and animals – monkeys eat fruit in the trees, a water monitor lizard glides slowly through the water, and cormorants, egrets and kingfishers wait patiently on the banks, eyeing the water for prey. You will pass dozens of tiny islands forested with mangroves, and you will view old temples and watch the locals cultivating cinnamon. The people of its islets produce cinnamon and cinnamon oil. There are around 64 islands in the river and lagoon, from a tiny speck housing a deserted shrine to one housing 250 families connected to the mainland with a very long footbridge. And yes, don’t miss the fish spa! One of the best excursions that can be done while in Sri Lanka, this Boat Ride will give you the comfort of a lifetime and is bound to keep you dazed and amazed at what Sri Lanka has to offer each and every single nature lover.

Mask Museum
Ambalangoda, the closest village to Heritance Ahungalla, is known as a centre for antiques and masks. At the Mask Museum, prepare to be inspired by a variety of unique masks. Most are made from kaduru, a light, pliable wood similar to balsa. After carving, the masks were traditionally sanded using rough leaves or shark skin. Masks are used for several purposes in Sri Lanka. As well as featuring in traditional dance, drama and comedies, and in large pageants and processions, they are also used in ceremonies to exorcise demons or cure illnesses. The museum also contains several puppets, made from the same type of wood and manipulated with strings. The average height of traditional puppets is around 4 feet, but those representing royalty or nobility are taller and heavier. Puppet shows are accompanied by music on the drum and Seraphina, as well as singing.

Lunuganga Garden
Lunuganga was Geoffrey Bawa’s own estate, where he experimented with his ideas about space, light, and scale for nearly 50 years. When he bought the land in 1948 it was a rubber plantation on a peninsula jutting out into a lake. Over the years, Bawa painstakingly reshaped the land and the vegetation to fulfill his vision, in one case slicing off the top of a hill to improve his view of the lake. Don’t expect a riot of flowers planted in neat borders. This is essentially a series of outdoor rooms with cleverly framed vistas – a Buddhist stupa on a hilltop, an artfully placed Grecian statue. Bawa continued to change and experiment with the spaces and structures throughout his life. Upon his death in 2003 the garden was left to the Lunuganga Trust and is now open to the public.

Surfing, Diving and Snorkeling
If you are keen on doing some snorkeling while exploring the Indian ocean and witness some very uncommon color fish and corals, then Snorkeling is the best activity for that.
Snorkeling is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swim-fins. In cooler waters, a wet-suit may also be worn.
Sri Lanka is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, and its seas are abundant with shallow reefs with corals and marine life. Snorkeling is a safe and easy way to explore the shallower areas around the Island, without the use of diving equipment or extensive training. All one needs are pair of fins, a snorkel, and a face mask. It is a fun sport for all ages as one can view the spectacular underwater world at a leisurely place.
