After a 15-minute free kayak lesson, lead by a local guide / tour instructor, you can paddle your way through the calm and crystal clear waters of the lake that allows you to explore the natural beauty of the surrounding vibrant wildlife and greenery.

The tour allows you to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the lake where you can sight exotic birds, enjoy a sunset depending on the time of day you choose the activity, glimpse the Dodanduwa Harbour and enjoy a sea bath if time and weather permits.
