"Amazing experience. we had a chance to go on a pottuvil lagoon boat safari. It was something amazing I have done in my whole life.Elephant, birds, crocodile and fishing life. If you are planning to visit Arugambay, I recommend you should do this too.budget arugambay tours"

"Very good for bird watching We took our two daughters 12 and 15 on a early morning lagoon safari for 2 hours. Price is reasonable, 4500/-. The tour is on a rowing boat. You have to sit on the floor and they provide you with life jackets. My husband has a chronic back pain, but, he came out ok after sitting on the floor with stretched legs for 2 hours. The discomforts of the basic facility is well worth the experience. We saw crocodiles, so many varieties of birds including endangered, unique to the area and also migratory. Top it up, we saw the wild elephants coming out of the near by jungle. The boat will take you though the lagoon full of mangroves and water lilies. It's a fantastic experience. You need to go early in the morning to see the wild life and to avoid the harsh sun. They even recommend the evenings."

"Went on a great morning lagoon safari, saw so many birds, two elephants, monkeys and met fisherman. Such a great experience and super professional, especially important as a solo female traveller."
