Jet Skiing in Negombo

Canoeing - 100% recommended even for a 1st timer

What an absolute treat for a 1st time experience. The wind was intense because of the rainy season but the view, the thrill. Unmatched. They have options to pay from like Koko or Mintpay if thats an interest to anyone. I believe you can choose between half an hour to 1 hour depending on which booking portal youre on. But I recommend getting in touch with the team. Such amazing, devouted people who even offered to reschedule because of the weather.
