Balapitiya serves as a starting point for an upriver expedition to the Madu Ganga, or Madu River. Embark on the Madu Ganga boat safari in Balapitiya to glide along the waters, where naturalists and enthusiasts can catch a glimpse of wetlands and mangroves, live amongst the abundant species of flora and fauna - some of them globally endangered, and enjoy the sights of birds as they fly across the river. Balapitiya, regarded as the birthplace of cinnamon, is home to several cinnamon estates, and to “Cinnamon Island,” along the Madu River. A new pop-up on the cruise are fish therapy spots, which make for some great laughter and clean feet!
Reconnect with nature on an upriver expedition, witness gorgeous sights, catch a glimpse of endangered fauna and flora, and explore the intricacies of cinnamon production.
