Beruwela provides close proximity to the Madu River and Barberyn Island. You can take boat tours to the island and go for a sublime river cruise.
Enjoy a river safari
Glide along the Madu River on a boat, and watch it snake through thickets of mangrove alive with the chirping of birds. You’ll spot blue-black cormorants, fruit bats hanging upside down and fishermen trying to catch fish from their narrowboats.
Booking a safari
Some Bentota hotels organize Madu River safaris. Check out a few of those including Cinnamon Bey Beruwala. Choose a morning safari to enjoy the best of nature and spot fishermen setting out.
Experience the river
The best part about your river safari will be the boat ride itself. There is a tiny island in the middle of the river. It is a rocky island with a tiny temple atop. If you are up for a long boat ride, you can go towards the estuary.
Barberyn Island trip
A birdwatcher’s paradise, Barberyn Island is scattered with elegant coconut palms, mango trees, cashew trees in bloom and thick vegetation. You can only reach it by boat, which will be a short trip. Oh, there is also a lighthouse in the Island.
