Embarking on a birdwatching river cruise in Galle along the Ging River is a unique and captivating experience. The Ging River is the only river that traverses Galle District, branching out into various regions. Originating from the Sinharaja Rainforest, it flows through rich ecosystems, traversing the country’s wet zone. We therefore offer a river cruise starting from Mahamodara River Face of Ging River at Galle to observe birds and discover the river’s ecosystems including Mangroves and Fresh Water Aquatic creatures. On this cruise, you will encounter a wide variety of birds, including endemic species as well as migratory birds at certain times of the year.

Serene Experience - Having been on a trip to The Safari park with them our driver suggested we may like to take this river trip. With just my husband and I plus our drive/guide and boat owner we spent a couple of hours along the river with just the birdsong to hear. The two men were extremely knowledgeable with eyes like hawks as they pointed out the multitude of birds along the river. Monkeys were also on parade and all in all a lovely way to spend a late afternoon. Not sure why this trip is not highlighted as one to take as it is surely a well kept secret.
