Wonderful! To see so many birds in one place. Kingfishers, bee eaters, storks, spoonbills, oriental divers, different duck species and so many waders i couldnt identify them all. Great place for nature lovers. Good day out for little money.

this was one of our favorite experiences on our trip to Sri Lanka. We went on a late afternoon boat safari with guide Chamila and had with him both a zen-master and a bird-whisperer in our midst. We saw a LOT of different species, learned a ton and had a very calming and relaxing afternoon. This boat safari also is a great activity when the weather isn't that great, since it doesn't really matter (and they provide huge umbrella's - that helps!). We initially ended up here because of the bad rain at the south coast but ended up having an experience we wouldn't want to miss!!

The trip was amazing with a guide who could identify all the birds and explain their behaviour and habits. One of the most peaceful and relaxing places I have ever visited with a dazzling array of wildlife. It is definitely on my list for my next visit

We booked this several weeks ahead from the UK. Gayan and his team were really good. The two young guides who accompanied us were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have never seen so many different species in one area at the same time.

The Kalametiya bird watching tour was the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. It was such a peaceful and relaxing experience and we saw a lot of interesting birds close up. Our guide Pasindu was very knowledgeable, kind and patient and seems to really love his job. My only regret is that we didn't have time to go back for an early morning tour!

We went out at 4pm until sunset and were given 2 pairs of binoculars & a very competent young girl called Madhavi, who named & pointed out an a wonderful array of birds! We were out on the water in a very peaceful punt boat and headed back for a stunning sunset. Thank you for sharing the bird sanctuary with us!

Wonderful peaceful boat trip shortly after dawn on this salt/freshwater lagoon and bird sanctuary. It was silent apart from the calls of the birds, the slight swish of the punt and the quiet voice of my lovely guide Chimila as he pointed out the birds and said their names. He was extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves the job and the nature around him. He could answer all my questions. We climbed a rock at one point (optional) and saw loads of birds from above the canopy. It was magical just to be surrounded by so much unspoiled nature in the early morning light. The boat was steered expertly by Mihinder. It was fantastic. I went on my own and Gayan (founder of the company) really looked after me and made sure to stay with me after the trip until my partner came to pick me up. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed a wonderful sunset rafting cruise along the lagoon. It was such a tranquil, calming and experience and we saw lots of wonderful bird life as well as water buffalos. Our guides Pasindu and Madhavi, and driver Priya were excellent. We took children aged 10 and 7 and they enjoyed the experience too. Thank you for a lovely afternoon, highly recommend this experience.

The most relaxing was to spend an afternoon, being quietly and skillfully paddled by Chimila through the water lilies and water channels as our knowledgeable guide Guyan pointed out the various birds and other wildlife, including the weird snake bird and beautiful painted storks. The warm breeze and bird song and then the water buffalo responding to the farmers call, made a magical tranquil trip. Guyan and Chimila were so kind to our toddler granddaughter and showed how to make the flower bloom. Thank you,

Excellent set up here. Just our family of 3 on a boat with paddler & knowledgeable guide at dawn. Beautiful wetlands and saw lots of different species of birds from bee eaters to herons and eagles and everything in between.
