Point Pedro, Sri Lanka...

The place name of Point Pedro is a corruption of the Portuguese "Ponta das Pedras" meaning "the rocky cape".The name of the town in Tamil is Paruthithurai, which literally mean "Cotton Harbour". The harbor exported cotton to South India for centuries.
Point Pedro or Peduru Thuduwa, also known as Paruthithurai is a town, located in Jaffna District, Sri Lanka, at the northernmost point of the island.Cotton is produced around Point Pedro in the fertile calcic red latosol soils. The eastern coast of Point Pedro forms a 3 mile wide, 20 mile long beach with sand dunes up to 100 feet high, extending to Thalayady. The porous soil has a water table deep underground with an estimated one billion litres of fresh water. The Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 raised the salt content of the ground water. The tsunami destroyed parts of the town and submerged some parts with seawater up to 4 feet deep.

A Family Boat Ride Adventure in Hamilton Canal...

Hamilton Canal offers a serene escape for families seeking an immersive and picturesque experience. Located just a stone's throw away from bustling Colombo, this historic waterway provides a perfect setting for a memorable boat ride with your little ones.

The Hamilton Canal holds a wealth of stories waiting to be discovered. Built during the colonial era by the Dutch and fortified by the British, the canal served as a vital waterway for transporting goods between Colombo and the interior regions of Sri Lanka. Delve into the rich history of the canal as your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating anecdotes and historical tidbits.

The scenic and interesting journey commences from the popular seaside village of Negombo, aboard well equipped boats with safety gear and knowledgeable personnel at hand. The first leg of this enjoyable cruise is on the placid waters of the historical Hamilton canal. Tour past the homes of the fisher families situated at the edge of the canal; get a glimpse of the adults at their various chores while little children playfully wave at the passing boats. Head straight for the Negombo Lagoon where the fresh fish market or “Lellama” is situated literally on the lagoon shores.

Here one can observe every type of fresh catch - fish, cuttlefish, crabs, lobsters, shrimp and even shark. You can also be one with nature at the mangroves, the famed Muturajawala Marshes; spot interesting wildlife like monkeys, water monitors and an abundant of birdlife such as Egrets, Herons Kingfishers and Cormorants eagerly waiting for their catch of fish.
As your boat ride comes to an end, you'll find yourself reluctantly bidding farewell to the serene beauty of the Hamilton Canal. But fear not, for the memories forged during this family adventure will linger for years to come, serving as a reminder of the magic found in exploring Sri Lanka's hidden gems with your loved ones.

Set against the backdrop of lush mangrove forests and winding waterways, the evening bird watching tour offers a rare opportunity to witness the sanctuary's diverse birdlife in their natural habitat.
