Glide through a world of lush mangroves and gentle waterways on this half-day river and wildlife experience. The Madu River Safari is a scenic boat journey that winds through a rich wetland ecosystem, dotted with cinnamon-growing islands, floating temples, and thriving birdlife.

Drift past shaded mangrove tunnels and pause at islets where you can learn about traditional cinnamon peeling, spot water monitors and kingfishers, or simply take in the tranquility of this Ramsar-listed estuary.

Then continue your journey to the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery, where conservation meets education. Learn how volunteers protect endangered sea turtles—from safeguarding nests to releasing baby hatchlings into the sea. It’s a heartwarming and meaningful way to support marine life.
