Itinerary

  • Muthurajawela Marsh

    Muthurajawela is the largest saline coastal peat bog in Sri Lanka. The Marsh together with the Negombo Lagoon form an integrated coastal wetland eco-system with marsh lagoon complex itself estimated to have originated around the year 5000 BC. The northern section of the marsh covering an area of 1,777ha was declared a sanctuary in July 1996 under the fauna & flora protection ordinance. The marsh is a major local and tourist attraction, primarily used for sightseeing and boating tours, and the area also supports local agriculture and forestry. Visitors to the region are guided through the sanctuary areas by the staff of the Muthurajawela Marsh Centre to avoid serious harm to the marsh ecosystem.

A great day out on the water with many beautiful birds and animals spotted. The team were so accommodating and shared great local knowledge. Definitely worth checking out to see some of the beautiful Negombo wildlife

Nature close up

Published on Jan, 2025

We would recommend this birdwatching tour . We were picked up on time by the driver from our hotel, a good transport experience, we were even bought a local Sri Lankan snack on the way home. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable as he lived just on the side of the lagoon. We had an early start to try to catch the birds early morning and we felt like we were the only boat on the lake. A very peaceful couple of hours among the mangrove inlets and on the lagoon. We saw a wide variety of birds including 2 types of kingfisher . Snacks were provided during the trip.

Birding in Colombo, Sri Lanka with a knowledgable guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Terrific tour to Muthurajawela wetlands about an hour from the port of Colombo. A private driver met us promptly at the gates of the port terminal. Braneta was our resident bird guide who enthusiastically showed us the birds while navigating through wetlands by boat. He was very knowledgeable and knew the spots to go to find various species of birds. On the way back to town, our driver made an additional stop so we could purchase some needed camera equipment before heading back to the port. We would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing bird watching tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

This bird watching boat ride experience was just amazing. The guide was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I sighted and photographed close to a dozen Sri Lankan birds. Highly recommended!
