Canoeing and kayaking are the only means of transportation used by fishermen in the past. You can try kayaking on the well-known Kalu Ganga River, which runs to the city of Kalutara on the west coast, where it eventually empties into the Indian Ocean.

You have the opportunity to see the wonderful local flora and fauna while kayaking. The Samanalawewa Reservoir, one of the largest reservoirs in the nation, has calm, serene waters where you can even try your hand at canoeing down the river.
