Koggala Lake boat safari near Galle, what to expect.
2 Answers from travellers
A boat safari on Koggala Lake is incredibly relaxing. You will cruise through beautiful mangrove tunnels and see diverse birdlife, massive water monitors, and local fishermen working in the tranquil waters.
The stop at Cinnamon Island is very authentic. You get to watch a local family demonstrate the traditional, labor intensive process of peeling and rolling fresh cinnamon bark, and they serve excellent fresh tea.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
