Enjoy the countryside appeal as you travel up the Kapu Ela canal by canoe. Canoeing is the perfect way for you to appreciate the prolific wildlife including beautiful birds and breathtaking views of the surrounding mangrove forest as you paddle.
Sri Lanka is an island with many rivers, lagoons and old canals that meander past a myriad of landscapes before gently flowing out to the Indian Ocean. Enjoy a canoe trip in one such canal, Kapu Ela. This journey will take you down the Kapu Ela canal by canoe and allow you to explore the natural beauty of the landscapes and the culture of the local people.
The 2-hour tour is best taken in the morning when an abundance of birds can be seen. As you paddle away in the canal learn about the flora and fauna that inhabits the river and its surrounding banks. Observe egrets hunting for fish, eagles looking for prey, water monitors sunbathing on the banks and rare purple-faced, monkeys crashing through the tree canopies. Cruise gently along through canals, under bridges and passing local communities as they go about their everyday life.
Observe village communities at work, and the gentle pace of life. A kaleidoscope of colours, vibrant new tastes, and sensory experiences.
As you make your way up the canal, you will gain an insight into life on thebanks of the waterway.
