Balapitiya offers Southern Sri Lanka visitors the opportunity to experience outdoor activities and cultural attractions in addition to vacation activities. Boat safaris through Balapitiya River allow visitors to explore the abundant mangrove forests while studying the natural beauty of the Madu River ecosystem. With its numerous wildlife species and approximately fifteen islets, the river offers a peaceful tropical experience. The local fishing customs include stick fishing where fishermen cast their nets from stilts to shallow water as a means of conserving the traditional cultural practices. Savour a tranquil boat ride down the Madu River which passes by lush mangroves, small islands, and calm waterways. It’s possible to see birds, water monitors, and occasionally even monkeys. The perfect beach vacation spot is the stunning Balapitiya Beach where you can swim, relax and sip refreshing beverages from a neighbourhood juice bar.
