Staying near Matara then maybe Bundala. River looks calm. Instagram has people on SUPs. I also just read Bundala is crocodile city. Do we let a 9-year-old to the knees.

Mugger crocodiles live in the Nilwala and in Bundala. They are not a myth. People still fish. People also get taken, rarely, horribly. No SUP heroics, no dusk river swim, no "just the edge" on a quiet bend. Hotel pools exist for a reason. Bundala: stay in the jeep.

We looked from the bridge, kid was disappointed, we bought ice cream. Correct.

Same answer on tanks in the dry zone. If locals are not in the water, you are not the exception.
