Descripción completa

La laguna de Negombo es una amplia y poco profunda extension de agua salobre detras de la ciudad, bordeada de manglares y trabajada por pescadores que usan metodos que no han cambiado mucho en generaciones. Este es un paseo en bote de dos horas a traves de ella hasta la isla de manglar conocida localmente como la isla de los monos, donde tropas de macacos viven en los arboles junto al agua.

Parte del muelle en un pequeño bote y cruza primero aguas abiertas, pasando las embarcaciones de balancin y las redes sobre estacas que los pescadores de la laguna todavia usan. Martines pescadores, garcetas y garzas trabajan los bajios, y los cormoranes se posan en los postes. El barquero sabe donde se reunen las aves y reducira la velocidad para ellas.

La isla misma es manglar denso, y los monos bajan a la orilla cuando se acerca un bote. Observarlos desde el agua es el objetivo, son animales salvajes, son rapidos, y tomaran cualquier cosa suelta de una mano abierta o una bolsa sin cerrar. No los alimente y mantenga telefonos y gafas de sol seguros.

En el camino de regreso, la ruta suele atravesar algunos de los canales de manglar mas estrechos, donde las raices se arquean sobre el agua y el ruido de la ciudad desaparece por completo. Es la parte mas tranquila del paseo y la mejor para fotografias.

Dos horas son suficientes. Esta es una salida corta y relajada en lugar de una excursion completa, y funciona bien como complemento matutino o de ultima hora de la tarde a un dia en Negombo, cuando la luz es baja y las aves estan mas activas.

Lovely day out seeing monkey island. Relaxed welcome, life jackets and umbrellas for us on the boat, boat trip across lake Negombo, we saw and fed the monkeys on monkey island, then stopped off for a coconut drink paddling our feet in the lake. We then chose to stay for lunch at the end (additional cost) and it was yummy food. The whole family enjoyed it (kids aged 3 & 5).

Die Tour war super. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht und die Bootsfahrt war sehr schön und wir haben viele Affen gesehen und eine kleine Pause am Watt gemacht. Dort bekamen wir Kokosnüsse serviert und duften im Watt spazieren. Die Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen, auch für kleine Kinder. Die Guides waren sehr kinderfreundlich und ließen unsere Kinder auch mal ans Steuer. Gefüttert haben wir die Affen nicht.

Wir haben es trotz nur zwei Bewertungen gewagt, diese Tour zu buchen. Für hiesige Verhältnisse ist dieser Ausflug auch teurer, nichts desto trotz hatten wir ein schönes (und spannendes 🙈😂) Erlebnis. Unser Boot schien sehr offensichtlich ein technisches Problem zu haben. Die beiden Jungs haben mir immer das Gefühl vermittelt, alles im Griff zu haben. Sie haben alles versucht, um uns ein schönes Erlebnis zu bescheren und haben auch nicht aufgegeben, bis wir zumindest ein paar Äffchen vom Boot aus gesehen haben. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Booten, die ein Sonnendach hatten, haben wir als Sonnenschutz

The monkey experience was great but the directions for meeting place were completely wrong and no assistance available when we needed it. Ended up in a place 200 metres from hotel in a boat that was not fit for purpose as there were no seats and it was falling apart. Appears this is subcontracted out to a sub standard third party.

Preguntas frecuentes

Boat jetty on the Negombo lagoon; the operator confirms the exact landing on booking.
The price does not cover hotel transfers to and from the jetty; meals and drinks; gratuities; personal insurance.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Most of the day, and the boat is the point rather than the transport. Conditions occasionally force a change of route, which the operator decides on the morning and is not something anyone can promise around.
Z R I Adventures (Private) Limited. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Negombo, if you land in the evening, land tired, or fly out early — it is 10 km from the airport against Colombo's 35, which in bad traffic is 90 minutes. Give Colombo a proper day later in the trip instead of a jet-lagged half one. See our Negombo airport guide.
From about 5am, finished by eight. It is a working auction rather than an attraction — boats landing, the catch on the sand, and everything packed up before the heat. Jet lag makes the early start easy.
Two to three hours through mangrove channels and out to Monkey Island, past stake-net and crab fishing worked the same way for centuries. Kingfishers are near-guaranteed, along with monitors on the banks. Calm water throughout, so it suits children and non-swimmers. See the Negombo lagoon guide.
Roughly LKR 3,000-4,500 from the official counters in arrivals. Ride-hailing apps are usually cheaper but need a local SIM — buy one in arrivals for a few dollars, which is the single most useful thing to do before leaving the terminal.
One night on arrival and one on departure, or two if you want both the dawn fish market and a lagoon trip without rushing. Negombo is comfortable and well placed rather than a destination in its own right, and it does that job very well.
In the dry season, roughly December to March. From May to September the southwest monsoon builds the sea along this whole coast and currents strengthen. The beach is long and usable but it is not the south coast.
