River expeditions

Visitors have the option of going on a river trip in addition to activities such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, confidence leaps, and stream slides. These excursions may last anywhere from 2 or 3 days, which may include paddling down the river in a boat and sleeping by the water. A trip down one of Sri Lanka's rivers is the best opportunity to get up close and personal with the island's abundant wildlife.
