Here you will find lots of information about Sri Lanka's pioneering sea turtle conservation project - why Sri Lanka (and the village of Kosgoda in particular) is a prime turtle nesting site, why the conservation project is needed and how the project is operated by local people with the help of international volunteers.

Stop 3
An unforgettable boat safari that is off the beaten track along the calm waters of the Madu River in Balapitiya, Sri Lanka offers you an experience of a lifetime. A motorboat trip of 1.5 hours that will take you along a stretch of 40km that consists of 64 small islands and various stops that will speak volumes of our heritage. With life jackets and health/safety instructions in tact, you will be first educated about everything and the importance of this water body. The Madu River is home to the largest remaining mangrove swamp which contains several species of reptiles, fish and birds. This rich biodiversity has allowed “Madu Ganga” to be listed under the International Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
