Negombo One Day Trip from Colombo

We will pick you up from your accommodation at 9 am before heading to Negombo/Colombo, a small but important city which is popular with tourists due to its paradise beaches. The recommended itinerary for the private tour includes a visit to the Negombo Lagoon, from where you will admire fantastic views of the whole city and enjoy a pleasant walk along its idyllic shores. We will also discover St. Anne’s Church, one of the most historic landmarks in the whole city, situated among lush tropical vegetation. You even have the opportunity to interact with the locals and witness their day to day life at the bustling Fish Market. Next, we head to the Angurukaramulla Temple, one of the most important Buddhist sanctuaries in all of Sri Lanka. There we will stop in front of the huge Buddha statue that presides over the entrance, to admire its colorful structure and design.

Negombo, Situated six kilometers, a mere stones throw away from the International airport of Sri Lanka, is a characteristic predominantly Christian fishing town with narrow streets and small boutiques and many historic churches to visit and see, with its routes running back to the arrival of the Portuguese. Negombo is an ideal place to enjoy the traditional fishing methods of Sri Lanka, the outrigger canoe, the swifter catamaran and the lagoon famous for its pomfret, lagoon crab & lobster during season. A resort town dotted with many hotels and restaurants and the famous lagoon, where one could take a ride in a out rigger sailing canoe and experience the authentic fisherman’s life.

Negombo Lagoon is a large estuarine lagoon in Negombo, south-west Sri Lanka. The lagoon is fed by a number of small rivers and a canal. It is linked to the sea by a narrow channel to the north, near Negombo city. It is surrounded by a densely populated region containing rice paddies, coconut plantations, and grassland. The land is used for fishing and agriculture. The lagoon has extensive mangrove swamps and attracts a wide variety of water birds including cormorants, herons, egrets, gulls, terns, and other waders. Negombo, Katunayake, Seeduwa are some nearby towns. Lagoon fishing is popular among the fishing community in Negombo. Lagoon crabs and lagoon prawns are in high taste and demand.

Negombo is a modest beach town located just 10km from Bandaranaike International Airport. With a stash of decent hotels and restaurants to suit all pockets, a friendly local community, an interesting old quarter and a reasonable (though somewhat polluted) beach, Negombo is a much easier place to find your Sri Lankan feet than Colombo.
