Can tourists see cinnamon peeling on the Madu River boat safari?

Almost all Madu River boat tours include a stop at Cinnamon Island. You will see a demonstration of how the bark is expertly peeled by hand to create cinnamon quills. You can buy fresh cinnamon sticks and oil directly from the families living there. It is a very authentic local industry. The boat trip also usually stops at a small temple island and offers the famous fish massage in the river for a small extra fee.
