Cruise gently through the winding waterways of the Madu River near Balapitiya, surrounded by a maze of mangrove-covered islands, shallow channels and floating herb gardens that constitute one of Sri Lanka’s most ecologically distinctive river environments. The journey includes a stop at the famous cinnamon-growing island, where traditional peelers demonstrate the hand-harvesting process that has made Sri Lanka the world’s source of true cinnamon for over five centuries.
