The 2 Fishing Trips in Sri Lanka That Earn Their Price

1.Fishing Village Highlights Private Tour by Tuk Tuk

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5 reviews · 4 hours · from $45Our pick

Ride a tuk-tuk through Negombo’s fishing community with an English-speaking guide. You’ll visit the fish market, Dutch Fort, Dutch Canal, Sri Singama Kali Amman Kovil, Angurukaramulla Temple, and St. Mary’s Church. The small-group tour includes entry fees, hotel transport, and a king coconut drink.

“I picked this tour because it made specific mention of learning about Negombo and it's history from our guide. That did not happen. He didn't come into any of the places we stopped, couldn't answer any questions about any of the places and didn't even know how many people live here. The only thing he told us was that there was a mix of religions but couldn't tell us what the percentage was. He was a very nice man but we learned absolutely nothing. Very disappointing.”
