Things to do

Negombo by Tuk Tuk

Join us for an enlightening tuk-tuk adventure through Negombo, a vibrant coastal city that beautifully bridges Sri Lanka’s rich past and dynamic present. This historic fishing community welcomes you with its unique blend of cultures and traditions.

 

Your journey begins at the Hamilton Canal, where you’ll walk alongside local fishermen and learn how the Dutch once transported precious cinnamon along these very waterways. We’ll guide you through fascinating stops including a remarkable 700-year-old Portuguese library with distinctive European architecture and the well-preserved Dutch fort that once protected this strategic trading post.

 

Experience the energy of Sri Lanka’s largest fish market, where daily auctions bring the community together in colourful displays of commerce and culture. We’ll conclude at St. Mary’s Church and other significant landmarks before sharing traditional seafood together.

 

This thoughtfully designed tour connects you with Negombo’s fishing heritage while honouring the local community that calls this coastal gem home. You’ll leave with genuine appreciation for the stories, traditions, and warm hospitality that make Negombo truly special.
