Looking for something special in Negombo? Two standout dinner cruises deliver memorable experiences on the lagoon waters. The standard Dining Boat Cruise packs good value into a 3-hour journey with a full meal service and lagoon views. For those seeking extra romance, the Private Dinner Cruise steps things up with an intimate 4-course dinner and longer time on the water.

I especially love the Private Dinner Cruise for its attention to detail and peaceful atmosphere – you really feel like you have the lagoon to yourself. The standard cruise is great too, offering similar views at a more modest price point.
