Half day
Negombo Lagoon & City
A relaxed half day near the airport: a lagoon boat ride through mangroves, the fish market, the Dutch canal and St Mary’s Church.
Day trips and short explorations from Negombo and the airport area.
Negombo is where many travellers spend their first or last night, so short excursions from here are ideal for the day before or after a flight. The lagoon, fish market and Dutch canal are close by; Colombo is about an hour away, and the Cultural Triangle is within reach for a long day.
